Crossfit Hard Shells, Gaithersburg

Form is king at Crossfit Hardshells. Before anyone lifts a barbell or swings a kettlebell, they take introductory classes that teach the proper way to do so. And just because they graduate to regular CrossFit classes doesn't mean that the trainers stop paying attention. Rather, the staff adjusts weight amounts, reps, and the number of people sitting on your shoulders to ensure that everyone is equally challenged. Their workouts change daily to include a mix of high-intensity functional movements, performed with equipment such as ropes, plyometric boxes, and pull-up bars.
