CrossFit training invades Sylvania
Kelly McLendon
CrossFit training, which has recently grown in popularity around the United States, is now offered in Sylvania. As a strength and conditioning program that includes various workouts and different challenges, it is a system that can be used by professional athletes and the average person alike.
