On Saturday (July 19) Ansonia Mayor David Cassetti blew the whistle to signal the start of Ansonia’s new fitness center boot camp.
The Riverwalk Cross Training Center, LLC is located at 1 Chestnut St.
The Riverwalk Cross Training Center is a specialty fitness center designed to focus on one-on-one training and startup classes.
The owners, Robert Calabrese and Jonathon Gonzalez (Channel 12 News’ meteorologist) are both personal trainers and wanted to open a facility that provided innovative programs that can’t be found in a traditional fitness center.
Those programs include classes like kettle ball, insanity, functional training classes, classes for seniors and, of course, boot camps.
The mayor said he is happy with the new business.
“I teach boxing to children and I know the importance of fitness and strength training,” Cassetti said in a prepared statement. “I encourage everyone to take advantage of these programs. I am excited that the residents of Ansonia and others will have a variety of new programs to choose from and an alternative to traditional fitness centers. We welcome them and are pleased they have found a new home in Ansonia.”
