CROSSFIT DURHAM IS EXPANDING!

Beginning next week, we will be chopping down the wall that divides us with the yoga studio and taking on an additional 2000 square feet of training space!

Here’s a list of some of the equipment that we expect to be part of our expansion:

- A brand new, 34′ Pullup Cage from Rogue Fitness that will include 8 built in squat racks, smaller diameter pullup bars, pullup bar space for up to 40 athletes at once (bigger than this)

- Indoor Artificial Turf for sled pushes and sprints (see how it may look)

- Pendlay Barbell Kilogram Competition Weights (colorful and shiny)

- 3 Pendlay 20kg Bars (check it out)

- 1 Pendlay 15kg Bar (check it out)

- 6 Standard 45lb WOD bars

- Slam balls ranging from 15 to 30lbs (slam away here)

- Jerk Boxes for jerk training and other Olympic lifts (see them)

- 2 Rogue Yoke Racks (squat on them, carry them, push them - (check it out)

- Climbing Ropes

- New multi-height plyo boxes (like these)

- Climbing Peg Board (see one)

- Gibson Ring Trainers (see them)

- Atlas Stones (in action)

- Physician’s Scale (like this)

- Vertical Jump & Reach Board (how high can you go?)

Here are some of the things we are working to add in the near future to enhance your training and overall experience at CFD:
