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.

"By convincing ourselves to do something that is hard when we don’t want
to, we are growing. We are displaying a quality of strength that will correlate and
resonate far from the barbell." -
I think this was one of the most truth finding/home hitting articles that has been posted. It reminds you that we all deal with crap on the daily but we also drop a ton of excuses as to why we can't do the WOD or a million other things. If Mark can step up to the bar EVERYDAY and lift (and then come up with a ton of hysterical posts and quotes) in THAT type of pain, I think it just brings to light the heart and passion that one can have for an activity or cause in their own personal life; regardless of the road blocks which each and every person inevitably comes across.
