CrossFit 978

CrossFit 978 is a strength and conditioning gym that runs one-hour group classes built around barbell work, mixing weightlifting, powerlifting and functional fitness movements. Each class has three parts: a workout-specific warmup that draws on physical therapy movements, a strength or skill session, and a conditioning block that can run from five to thirty minutes and combines weights, gymnastics and mono-structural cardio like rowing, biking and running.

Classes are open to all experience levels, from beginners to seasoned athletes, and every part of the class includes instruction. The gym says it starts and finishes on time, and the founders describe weight training as safe for all ages with proper coaching. New visitors can try a free class. The gym is at 59 New Lancaster Road in Leominster.
