Gym Sends Equipment Home With Members To Continue Working Out During COVID-19 Crisis Kpic

Gyms all over the country have taken their workouts virtual, but CrossFit Intensify is taking their online classes a step further.

“We still have a population of members to serve,” said Colin Schoonover, General Manager of CrossFit Intensify, “and that’s our number one goal is we want to serve people in any way we can.”

So in addition to online classes, “we gave out all of our equipment,” Schoonover said.

 

The business is providing its 300+ members with tools like dumbbells and barbells so they can keep taking taking steps towards a healthier lifestyle.

“We can’t do pull-ups. We can’t do a bunch of heavy dead lifts or a whole bunch of heavy back squats,” member Travis Knudsen said, “but instead of those low rep, high weight items we can do a whole bunch of low rep items. And turns out that that’s still a great way to workout.”

So there’s online classes, workout equipment, plus “the gym has been great with encouragement and posting on social media trying to encourage people to continue to workout and try to develop that routine and it’s been good,” Knudsen said.

And CrossFit Intensify is hoping this time at home has inspired others.

“With this time it provides a very unique opportunity for people that may have never been exposed to CrossFit or this type of training before to give it a chance,” Schoonover said. “If that’s one great thing that comes from this is we’re going to be able to expose and introduce more people to CrossFit and to fitness in general that may not have wanted to reach out and give it a try before.”
