Crossfit has been judged, bashed, loved, hated, called many a thing over the years ranging from absolute insanity to the best functional fitness routine. With the Crossfit Games; "The Sport of Fitness" spread around the world like wild fire with Crossfit gyms a.k.a 'Boxes' opening in every corner.
We took a test drive at Pune's own Crossfit Chakra!
Location:
4th Floor, 43, Suyojana Housing Society, Modern Cakes Premises, Lane No.5, Koregaon Park, Pune, Maharashtra
Box Menu:
Annual: Rs. 20,000
3 Months: Rs. 9,000
1 Month: Rs. 3,500
Set Up:
What better way to train than on the rooftop of a building overlooking Koregaon Park with all it's picturesque parks and gardens?
Crossfit Chakra is the definition of Raw!
No elevators. Warm up, take the stairs up to the terrace - won't take you long, just 4 flights. Follow the sound of the countdown Workout Clock. You'll be pleasantly surprised.
Crossfit Chakra's converted an empty terrace into a truly functional workout area with soft shock absorbing rubber tiles.
Two Crossfit cages stand side by side and are decorated with TRX (suspension training belts), Olympic Rings and industrial grade Resistence Bands that can take a load of upto 60 kg.
Olympic bars, medicine balls, boxes and kettle bells are stacked neatly in the corner.
The bumper plates are rubberised and range from 2.5 to 25 kg.
The equipment is made by Nelco - the official equipment manufacturer for India's competitive weightlifting games.
The Box walls are painted with the Crossfit Chakra colors (Blue and Orange) and mantras that describe Crossfit best - Power, Strength, Flexibility, Stamina, etc.
The Goal wall lists members and the goals they are looking to achieve.
The bathrooms and changing rooms are extremely clean and well maintained.
Extra Classes at the Gym:
The Box offers no extra classes but you are most welcome to stay back and work on the aspects you would like to improve on, with the help of the team. The nice thing about a community fitness center - it makes you feel like you not just belong, but you own it. Great job CF Chakra! We love!
Ambience:
The nicest thing about the Box is the use of open space! Sunlight fills up the place during the day and fluourecent lights do the job at night.
The music compliments the Workout of the Day which of course you've figured changes every time.
Staff and Trainers:
Crossfit Chakra Team are extremely professional, friendly and always want to help. They play a big role in keeping the members motivated throughout the workout.
Summary:
Crossfit Chakra encompasses Community. With Crossfit taking over the world, we are excited to see a Box open here in Pune.
The Sport of Fitness mimics daily work relying heavily on strength and conditioning.
Crossfit consists of Structured workouts that revolve around functional training.
A must try for all true fitness enthusiasts.
