The crew at Integrated Fitness hosted the Powerlifting Seminar I filmed a couple of months ago out in Pittsburgh. They have a unique location for their facility which used to house a number of batting cages and youth rec teams. Because of this location several youth athletes have started getting a dose of CrossFit in their training and seeing results. Check out Integrated Fitness’ facilities in this video.
