CrossFit Ironside now open in Liberty Twp.

CrossFit Ironside — located at 6793 Lakota Lane in Liberty Twp. — opened its doors for business last month and owners Melissa and Daniel Anguiz are excited to help others experience the same transformation in fitness and energy levels that they have personally experienced through CrossFit training.

“Although we had exercised our whole lives, we were used to the traditional ways of gym workouts on a treadmill and weightlifting with isolated muscle groups,” said Melissa Anguiz, a former high/collegiate athlete, avid runner and once a personal trainer with Bally’s Fitness. “But CrossFit really opened our eyes to what it means to be fit and how to exercise from core to extremity, working your entire body to the limit.”

CrossFit Ironside is not a typical gym with rows of Nautilus type machines, cardio machines and a free weight area. Training includes Olympic weightlifting, kettlebells, powerlifting metabolic conditioning and various gymnastics moves designed to help participants see results in their endurance, speed, strength, stamina flexibility, agility, coordination, power, agility, balance and accuracy — all while losing excess body fat. Each day consists of a new workout because constantly changing things up helps to better prepare one to face any physical challenge that may come their way.

And while the workouts may seem intimidating, the program is completely scalable to meet a wide range of needs — from those of the novice, deconditioned individual to the elite athlete. CrossFit Ironside offers multiple group programs as well as personal training.
