NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2015
Ask any serious fitness nut, and they’ll tell you: The only thing better than feeling the burn is not having to leave Howard County to do it. Thanks to Top Tier Columbia, they don’t have to.
“We chose Columbia [for our newest gym] because it represents a largely untapped market for a world-class, full-service CrossFit facility,” says Erin Whipple, manager of the Reebok-recognized establishment, which offers an array of classes – from gymnastics and rowing to kids’ sessions.
Newbies unfamiliar with CrossFit – an intense weight-lifting-slash-cardio regimen designed to leave you ripped and revved – shouldn’t feel nervous about venturing into the 26,000-square-foot space in the Dobbin Road corridor, assures Whipple. “Everything in CrossFit can be scaled!” she says. Translation: All women, from the super-fit to the mildly curious, will be welcomed with open arms (and be handed the appropriate dumbbell to sculpt their own arms).
So even if you’ve never hoisted a kettle ball or dry-heaved your way through a series of burpees (look it up), you’ll find something at Top Tier Columbia that’ll get your heart pumping. And isn’t it time you got those spandex leggings out of mothballs, anyway?
