It’s one of today’s most popular workouts and it’s coming to downtown West Chester.

East Chestnut CrossFit – which will be located in the Oscar Lasko YMCA, located at 1 East Chestnut Street – begins demos next week and launches classes on Sept. 4.

For the last several months, the YMCA has been converting part of its downtown facility into the traditional CrossFit box gym. With new CrossFit equipment and a state-of-the-art facility, the opening of East Chestnut CrossFit provides West Chester residents and the surrounding communities with an unparalleled fitness experience.

Multiple demos, which will run 30-45 minutes each, are being offered at the Oscar Lasko YMCA starting Aug. 20. There is no charge and all are welcome:

• Monday, Aug. 20 at 6 AM, 12 PM, and 6 PM
• Tuesday, Aug. 21 at 6:30 AM
• Wednesday, Aug. 22 at 6 AM and 6 PM
• Thursday, Aug. 23 at 6:30 AM
• Friday, Aug. 24 at 6 AM and 12 PM

An open house is also being held on Saturday, Sept. 8 from 9-11 AM. Demo and open house attendees are encouraged to wear workout attire.

Those who join East Chestnut CrossFit will receive unlimited CrossFit classes in the YMCA’s air-conditioned CrossFit gym. Lockers and showers are also available onsite. Child Watch, the YMCA’s on-site babysitting service, is available during the busiest times for members to drop off their kids while they attend CrossFit classes. The first 100 people to join will also receive a free CrossFit t-shirt and car magnet.

“We’re excited to launch CrossFit,” said Steffani Witmer, Executive Director at the Oscar Lasko YMCA. “CrossFit is designed to create an inclusive fitness experience where members support and encourage one another while making tremendous fitness progress.

“All shapes and sizes can undertake CrossFit because the workouts are tailored to each person. While everyone does the same kind of exercises, how intense and how long each person does the exercises differs. Our team of certified CrossFit instructors is ready and excited to work with anyone who wants to give it a try.”
