Crossfit Gym Moving into Cool Stuff
Do you remember Cool Stuff Pretty Cheap? It was an antique store in the 400 block of South Fawcett. After two years of not-much-happening-in-the-space, we now see that CrossFit is moving into the 5600 square retail storefront. Per this Craigslist ad, “they will offer group fitness training as well as individual training.”
Welcome to the neighborhood.
Thank you, Jake

Awesome! That’s even closer to me than the YMCA in downtown.
However, I doubt they will have a pool… a saline pool mind you. It’s great for those of us who are bothered by chlorine. I mean, if it’s cheaper than the Y’s $39, then maybe it’s a go.
If not, I’ll stick to the Y.
But it’s great to see something move in there. Right on!

It IS great to see someone moving in. Especially a gym. Burn your calories at 400 Fawcett then replenish at Doyles, Harmon Hub or Maxwells.

@ Altered chords.
Brilliant! I’ve been looking for a workout partner and I like the way you think.
Seriously,I can’t wait to hear more about crossfit. I’m looking to shake up my workout boredom. (I will grab an ale after any workout though.)

@Christine – In the meantime, while we wait…Run Wright park – throw in some hills and drink 2 guinesses afterward.
My fee for this workout advice is 1 Manhattan.

Ooh, cool, hey how did you learn about us? We’ll be moving in on October 1. We are entirely focused on results-based fitness. It’s not your typical gym, you come in, the trainer (Lisa or me) tells you the workout of the day, and you work through it in a group, usually for time. I promise you will get fit, and spend less time in the gym than you thought possible. Most workouts are 20 minutes or less.
Right now we’re leading classes out of our garage and are way excited to move into 411 Fawcett. Hope to see some of you there.

I’ve been training this way for the last few months at the downtown Y with trainer Troy Nesby. It’s a great workout, if you are okay with your ass being kicked all over the gym, and strangely I am. Right Jessica?

Hot damn!! I’m getting more excited. I just got home from the gym and I need a shakeup. “yawn” Looking forward to the first of October.
Now it’s time for my post-workout G&T. The lime and quinine is just like gatorade.

Hitchhiker: Listen to this: 7… Minute… Abs.
Think about it. You walk into a video store, you see 8-Minute Abs sittin’ there, there’s 7-Minute Abs right beside it. Which one are you gonna pick, man?
If you’re not happy with the first 7 minutes, we’re gonna send you the extra minute free. You see? That’s it. That’s our motto. That’s where we’re comin’ from. That’s from “A” to “B”.
Ted: That’s right. That’s – that’s good. That’s good. Unless, of course, somebody comes up with 6-Minute Abs. Then you’re in trouble, huh?
[Hitchhiker convulses]
Hitchhiker: No! No, no, not 6! I said 7. Nobody’s comin’ up with 6. Who works out in 6 minutes? You won’t even get your heart goin, not even a mouse on a wheel.
Ted: That – good point.
Hitchhiker: 7’s the key number here. Think about it. 7-Elevens. 7 doors. 7, man, that’s the number. 7 chipmunks twirlin’ on a branch, eatin’ lots of sunflowers on my uncle’s ranch. You know that old children’s tale from the sea. It’s like you’re dreamin’ about Gorgonzola cheese when it’s clearly Brie time, baby.
