Women in Business: Ursula and Patrice Kenny

Crossfit Croí in Athlone is wishing a Happy International Women’s Day to all its members, coaches, sisters, mothers, aunts, daughters, grandmothers and friends.

As a female-led fitness and wellness centre, Crossfit Croí believes in providing a space to cultivate a strong mind, body and soul for all of its ladies, in order to help them live happy and healthy lives. If a woman feels strong and fulfilled, the entire home benefits.

Crossfit Croí has classes to suit all ages and all levels of fitness.

If the fear of a gym is a deterrent, Crossfit Croí, based in Blyry Commercial and Business Park, can offer one-to-one or small group personal training sessions.

There are also ladies-only classes, in which an awesome bunch of ladies trains together and gets stronger every week.

With the current, long-overdue focus on women's health, everyone in Crossfit Croí knows the importance of strength training at all ages.

Even past menopause, women should be doing some form of resistance training to keep building bone tissue. This can add strength and maintain mobility to help women live more independent lives well into their 80s and 90s.

The community and social aspect of class and group training is extremely important for mental wellbeing.

Sometimes women are not acknowledged for the pivotal roles they hold in keeping the family functioning and managing a home, sometimes in addition to working full-time, while trying to live up to the "I can do it all" philosophy of social media. However, everyone knows that this is not the real picture.

Crossfit Croí is keen to acknowledge you ladies as coaches, sisters, daughters and friends, and to say thank you! Everyone in Crossfit Croí appreciates you and sees all that you do.

Crossfit Croí's fitness and wellness centre will help you straighten your crown, get back up each time you fall, and build a community of amazing ladies.
