It was the sweatiest, toughest, most inspiring ribbon cutting — ever.
There was the citation and the giant scissors and the pretty red ribbon. There was clapping and cheering. Then . . . there were pull-ups and 20 non-stop minutes of people carrying other people on their backs . . . while running in a hot, humid garage bay.
Welcome to CrossFit Lowell.
Established by trainer Gina Tacconi-Moore last year, the training gym occupied a couple of temporary locations before settling in an industrial park on Foundry St. earlier this year. They have found their home.
For more information about the gym and what CrossFit, the strength and conditioning regiment that can be adapted to work for everyone regardless of age or ability, is all about, visit www.crossfitlowell.com.
