CrossFit Press On

Specialties

At CrossFit Press On, you will find a family of all types of athletes that share the same passion. We focus on metabolic conditioning combined with gymnastics and heavy lifting. We strive for functional movements and quality of life. Meaning, everything we do in our box translates into the real world. We want Grandma to be able to carry her groceries inside or give athletes the ability to carry someone out of a burning building in an emergency. Our number 1 priority is safety. We live by Mechanics, Consistency and Intensity. We focus hard core on the basics and technique. Once we have mastered a movement and become consistent with it, we increase the intensity (i.e. more speed and more weight). Once we feel we have mastered these movements, we go back to the basics because that is our way of staying grounded and focused. We want to be able to carry large loads long distances quickly by performing constantly varied movements, which is CrossFit. Get in shape and look better naked!

History

Established in 2014.

Established in Alaska while serving in the military. We had about 40 athletes at CrossFit Press On in Alaska. Just when we were ready to expand, we decided to get out of the military and settle down for our family so we took a job in NYC and moved to Bloomfield!

Meet the Business Owner

Amber C.

Business Owner

I went to Auburn University where I got my Public Relations Degree. I have been an athlete most of my life. I played basketball, soccer and ran cross country all through my junior high and high school years. When I was in the Army for 6 years and discovered CrossFit because my husband was doing it for his physical fitness in the Army. I doubted the program and resisted against it for a while until I started noticing my husband’s performance improving and his body changing. He talked me into doing a workout with him and I finally decided to do one. I could not believe how out of shape I was and how much I actually enjoyed the workout. I was hooked. I got certified as a CrossFit Level 1 and Level 2 Trainer and started coaching while continuing to train as an athlete. Even though I am certified, I am well aware this accomplishment merely opens the door. I am always pursuing my education in this industry. I live the lifestyle and I am passionate about helping others reach their goals.
