What I love about Albany CrossFit is going to the "gym" and having a structured workout each day. No thinking required. I see myself coming forever because I'm afraid of what would happen if I didn't come back! My biggest improvement has been my leg strength and I know it's hard to believe, but my cardio....Read More
What I enjoy the most about Albany CrossFit is the people. I'm nearly 30 years old, and have had the same group of friends since middle school. I've made connections at Albany CrossFit that I know will be long lasting relationships for years to come. There truly is something about the challenges of CrossFit you...Read More

For folks who competed in athletics in their youth, a common complaint is you never find an outlet...Read More

Amongst the many great athletes that show up each and every day, there is one athlete that truly stands out. This athlete goes by the nickname DC. Within...Read More
Bill Craft goes by many names, "Wild Bill," "Wall Street," or simply Bill. Since joining the Albany CrossFit community in October 2012 (shout out to that Boot Camp class), Bill has immersed himself in everything we have to offer.

Written by Alex Cadmus This might be a biased post from my point of view because I've seen Pete progress to where he is today from the very beginning.The first day he stepped into boot camp, with his long slicked back hair under a backwards hat; "just call me 'Gannon,'" he says.

It's rare that the honor of Member of the Month to be given to an athlete in such a short time, but with Nick Germano leaving Albany this week, and the way he clearly defines all the characteristics we look for in a MOM, we couldn’t have him leave without knowing how much he...Read More
