This is Chris Redgrave for Zions Bank Speaking on Business.
Think what a life-changing experience this would be. A woman challenged with obesity, like one of the millions of Americans affected by this health concern, came into Letrono Crossfit. Her goal? To be able to walk up the steps of the stadium where her son played football.
Just a few short months later, after intense crossfit-style training, she reached her goal and climbed up the stairs of the stadium to see her son's game. Not only had she improved her physical fitness but had also put herself on the pathway to a healthier life.
Letrono Crossfit in Syracuse is not your typical gym. In fact, this type of gym is referred to as a "box." Owner Troy Christopulos says crossfit involves constantly varied movement and fully functional movement at high intensity. Essentially, you're constantly challenging your muscles because you're working them in different ways at high intensity every time you work out.
It's not everybody who can say they took their hobby and turned it into a successful business; however, that's exactly what happened for Troy and his business partner, Eric Huntsman. They both have successful businesses and felt the importance of living an active lifestyle. After discovering crossfit, they felt it was the perfect fit and opened Letrono Crossfit in Syracuse last April. Their members love it!
The crossfit style of workout is designed to bring a workout for elite athletes and make it scalable for all fitness levels. Instead of lifting weights or using cardio equipment, you'll do dynamic lifts, use kettle balls and try other types of resistance exercise. You're also guided along the way because all workouts are done in a class setting with a trainer leading them.
One niche this type of workout is serving is the military, police and fire fighters. In fact, the crossfit concept was designed by someone hired to train fire and police departments as part of their wellness program. It's caught on and you can find "boxes" like Letrono Crossfit all over the United States.
