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.

The converted. I like that article. It made me think of why people DON'T like Crossfit. Then it made me ask myself why do I love it so much?
I have to agree with her that it brings me back to my athletic days and the days when I used to challenge the boys on the block. Because I swear anything a boy can do... GIRLS CAN DO BETTER. This is why I enjoy it so much... yes it helps me get "fit" but it's the "challenge" that I love the most. Although it may not seem so during the workout. LOL!
So I wonder... how many of us in the Dungeon were athletes back in the days?
Yep, the converted was definitely a good one... Seriously though, it's amazing how some people are "scared" of drinking the kool-aid simply because it's "hard". This program has clearly worked wonders for everyone who has stepped up to the plate and given an honest 100%. I think putting in a tough 20-30 minutes 3 out of every 4 days is relatively easy compared to living in a physical and/or mental state that you're not happy with. Now that's what's "hard" in my opinion. When you look at the situation on the simplest level, it's absolutely crazy how someone would rather be depressed, live in a body that they hate, and surround themselves with a bunch of miserable people who enable their self pity and/or put them down than eat right and break a sweat with a group of supportive like minded individuals. But again, that's why this "isn't for everyone". It works for everyone, but everyone doesn't have what it takes to work for it.
And that's a good question Andrea...lol.
