Entrepreneur to hold grand opening for gym | Families

COVINGTON,KY (FOX19) — CrossFit Covington will host it’s Grand Opening March 5, from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Customers can enjoy a free CrossFit workout at 10 a.m. and free Yoga at noon. 

First time entrepreneur, Emily Wagner is excited to bring Northern Kentucky a unique fitness experience, specializing in CrossFit, Yoga and Thai Bodywork.

CrossFit workouts include weightlifting, bodyweight exercises, cardiovascular activities and gymnastics basics. Yoga classes will feature a mix of styles but will primarily follow the Ashtanga series. Thai Bodywork is an ancient healing system blending yoga and massage.

“From the type of equipment to the style of workout, it is far different from any traditional gym.” Wagner said.

Along with the free CrossFit workout and Yoga, there will be t-shirts for sale, refreshments and prizes. The grand prize is a free one-year CrossFit Covington membership.

A technical sales representative, Wagner started doing CrossFit in June 2009 and decided to create CrossFit Covington in October 2010. She loves the camaraderie it brings. Every workout is scaled according to the individual's fitness level and done in a group setting.

“CrossFit Covington inspires motivation through personal attention, from not only the dedicated staff, but also from fellow classmates.” Wagner said.
