Certain brands gain such ubiquity that their name can become a catch-all for the generic product: Band-Aid, Kleenex, and recently CrossFit.
Though often imitated, CrossFit bills itself more as a lifestyle than a workout: exercises include elements of High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT), yes, but also weightlifting, calisthenics, gymnastics, and more while customizing to each practitioner’s abilities and goals. Add to that a focus on low-carb/zero-sugar nutrition, and the whole-body approach becomes apparent.
If you’re looking to get into the lifestyle, here are all the official CrossFit gyms available to you here in Westchester County.
Northern Westchester
CrossFit Somers X
54 Miller Rd, Baldwin Pl
845.628.4939
Westchester’s northernmost affiliate is a bit light on its website but you can still check the Workout of the Day (WOD), class schedule, and leaderboards, so what more do you really need? The gym itself has everything you need when it comes to fitness, with five to six daily classes on weekends, plus daily kids’ classes, yoga classes, and open houses.

Downstate CrossFit
565 North State Rd, Briarcliff Manor

Finally, a CrossFit gym that caters to our hatred for Westchester being considered “upstate.” With seven CrossFit classes each weekday and two on Saturdays, plus kids’ classes, weightlifting sessions, and cardio hours, this location offers a good balance of activities across age groups and ability levels (Despite some of us being Crossfit newbies, we got a great workout in without feeling crippled when we went for a drop-in this past summer).
