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.

Will,
Other than doing actual pull-ups and chin-ups, how else can i build the shoulder and chest muscles to increase my strength and ability to do more? I usually don't have the bar or rings available.
Well, Tom... Building strength in the chest isn't going to help with your pull-ups, technically. The pectorals and the triceps aid in pushing movements while the lats and the biceps aid in pulling movements. Now, if you don't have access to a pull-up bar or rings, you can always improvise. If you have access to a smith machine you can rack the bar about waist high or a tad bit lower, lay flat on the floor underneath it and pull your chest vertically toward the bar. Dumbell or barbell rows are also a suitable excercise (a last resort however). I'll what I can find for you on Youtube!
