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...

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.

Should females train differently than males was an interesting article. I still think that bulking up is in the genes of the woman. Some woman are just "NATURALLY" bigger and when they train, their clothes will become baggier but their muscles bigger making it impossible for certain fashion trends.
Truthfully though... I know I will never ever ever be a size 4 but I rather look slender and muscular than obese anyday.
What I did find interesting about this article... is that females need to CONSTANTLY train because of our susceptibility to deconditioning. Isn't that the effin truth!?? How many of us girls have gone away on vacation or missed a couple of weeks of training only to come back and not be able to lift our last PR? Mind you I thought it was because of my age. LOL! Now I feel better.
It appears that there is a growing amount of complaining going on about more ailments, by more people, to more people. I'm losing track of whose hurt, how they're hurt and who knows about it. So that we can keep proper tabs, I propose the following: Mike can complain only to Will and Andrea and only on odd numbered days of the week. Complaints can only reflect lower body injuries. Likewise for Andrea who can complain only to Mike and Will with the exception that she can include back complaints. Andrea can, on occasion, also complain to AJ. Jeanne complains only to Erica and only about her shoulder (Tom's heard enough of her complaints). Erica, in turn, can't complain at all. Nixie can only complain to her boyfriend. She can't even give any dirty looks to anyone. Claire complains only to Pat and only in private. Pat can only complain to those born in South America and only by phone. Carlos and young Michael have nothing to complain about. Alex can only complain if there's an expletive involved and it's directed at Tom since he's never sure if all expletives uttered in the gym refer to him or not. Jose and Anna are too new to the group to complain. Tom can complain about anything to anyone since no one pays attention, anyway. I hope this clarifys things for anyone.
Thanks for clearing that up for everyone Tom! Haha...
ROTFLMFAO!!! OMG!! Tom... you have me in tears here. LOLOL!!!
hahaha TOM! Now thats what I call a plan!
