* I have moved most all of this site to a new website. I’ll leave Excel In Cycling up for another season. But for any updates please go to www.4thehealthofit.net

* This year’s indoor cycling workouts will take place in Bath Township at the CrossFit Energy trainingstudio on 1930 North Cleveland-Massilon Road (corner of Ira and Clev-Mass).
From Akron - Take 77N to the Ghent Road exit.  Turn left.  Ghent Road will turn into Cleveland-Massillon Road.  Follow this road North past Bath Road.  The next major intersection is Ira Road.  It is located just before Ira on the left - right across the street from Ken Stewarts Lodge. From Cleveland - Take 77S to the Wheatley Road exit (Route 176).  Exit and Turn Right.  The first intersection you come to is Cleveland-Massillon Road /Brecksville Road.  Turn left.  Continue for about 7 minutes and the facility is just past Ira Road on the Right.
I’m very excited about bringing the Excel In Cycling workout program to owner Kyle Rowse’s brand new fitness facility. The studio can hold over 50 athletes comfortably, and has high ceilings with 6 overhead ceiling fans for max air circulation. The first workout is Wednesday, December 2. I’ll have more information on the Indoor Cycling page in the next week with respect to the weekly schedule and package prices. If you’d like to see the studio and what Kyle has to offer click on www.crossfitenergy.com Enjoy the next month of off season before we crank it up again..........Pete
