The Revolution Has Begun
The Riverdale Strength & Fitness Club is a community of individuals who share the common goal of becoming stronger and fitter day by day.
We are not a health club and we are not a social club. Our workouts aren't fashion shows in a big room full of spandex, expensive machines, televisions, mirrors and cold stares. In our world, everyone knows your name, and every day you are given a personal invitation to take another step closer to maximizing your human potential. We are located anywhere there is a challenge to be found. Where we train is of no consequence, how we train is.
Our goal is achieving true fitness, not the appearance of fitness. What good are those pretty "beach muscles" if you don't have the basic physical skills to save your own life or the life of a loved one if need be? Inspired by the CrossFit methodology of constantly varied functional exercises executed at high intensity, our program is guaranteed to spark changes within yourself that you may have never imagined were possible.
Olympic bars, gymnastics rings, kettlebells, medicine balls, pull-up bars, sandbags, stones, logs, kegs, tires, axles, yokes, jump ropes, climbing ropes and the four limbs attached to your body are the tools of our trade. You are the only machine you need.
We lift heavy and move fast, correctly. We measure progress through improvements in physical performance, not by numbers on a scale. We eliminate distractions, foster motivation, and continuously move forward...never backward. We fuse strength training and cardiovascular conditioning in as many combinations as logically possible. We work hard. We play hard. We will make you better and more efficient human being in every way, shape, and form.
All you have to do is make a choice...
Join us or step aside.
We believe that fitness is a state of mind and a way of being. It is the physical manifestation of confidence, courage, dedication, discipline, faith, integrity, strength, power, pride, and responsibility. The body is a tool for greater purpose, and training is the means to an increase in the quality of life through movement. Our main objective is to strengthen the spirit and sharpen the mind through pushing the limits of the body.

Awesome job by the 6:30 crew on Yesterday's WOD... It was pretty damn tough, I know, but way to push through it.

Thanks Will. 37 today and I am feeling it thanks to yesterday's workout.
On a side note, I apologize if I got your nerves yesterday with my talking. I always try to lighten things up with humor, especially when under stress. :-)
Happy Birthday Andrea! You did awesome yesterday, I am SHOCKED that you weren’t 1st. Honestly Pat and I thought that we were the last two and that everyone was finished.
By the way Will, both my arms are in SO much pain sorry, I mean sore. About three inches under my wrists are completely red and will be bruised I'm sure. I know, I'll be fine but I had to vent!
No Andrea you're cool! No one got on my nerves... It's just that the intensity level had to be raised a few notches and it had to start with me! Yesterday was one of the toughest workouts we've ever done and it was definitely not the time to baby anyone...so the glares and extra bass in my voice was out of love!
Wow, Claire finally posted something?!?! Haha :) We have to work on dropping that KB back down into your rack position with a lot less force. A little bruising is damn near inevitable after a tough KB workout, however your forearms shouldn't be beaten to a pulp either!
Thank you Claire. Geez, I thought Mily and I were the only ones with swollen lumps and bruises on the backs of our wrists. I swear as I type right now, my wrists look like the Hunchback of Notre Dame.
See you all on Saturday!
Lol @ the Hunchback of Notre Dame comment... That's pretty damn hilarious :)
