com 701 Murvihill Road Valparaiso 219-465-2040 topfuelcrossfitvalpo.com Since 1913 Top Fuel CrossFit has provided exercises to strengthen bodies with an emphasis on functional workouts. “Our functional workouts reflect movements people use at work or play,” says Dustin Shurlow, owner of the Crown Point location.
Chris Shimley owns the Valparaiso location. The exercise classes also foster camaraderie, Shurlow says. “It’s fun and they see results.
It’s community based so people are very encouraging for each other.” The classes offer feedback, taking the guesswork out of the process, Shurlow says. Participants' ages range from 13-75, and workouts can be modified to ability level.
“The programs are so important because they help you in ways you hope to maintain for the rest of your life, like squatting, sitting and getting up from the couch and picking things up off the ground,” says Shurlow.
