CrossFit Legitimus Grand Opening Celebration

Join in Saturday from noon to 3 p.m.

CrossFit Legitimus owners Brian Smith, Mark Izzo, and Jen Conlin welcome the public for an open house from noon to 3 p.m. Saturday. 

Featured will be a team workout that does not require sign-up but rather is a scrambles event. Your team will be chosen for you when you show up. Working out is not mandatory.

A barbecue will follow the workout. Details on the Workout of the Day, which begins at 12:30 p.m. will be announced.

CrossFit training “combines weightlifting, sprinting and gymnastics.” 

Smith said the regimen is for men and women, even teens, of all abilities, and that workouts are “timed and goal-oriented,” with each participant working at his or her particular fitness level.

Brian Smith and Mark Izzo live in Canton and have been involved in CrossFit for almost two years. The two friends work together and Brian turned Mark onto Crossfit when Brian came across CrossFit while working in Watertown. Brain and Mark both meet Jen through CrossFit when she began coaching the two men.

From there a friendship started and the three eventually formed a partnership and decided to open the Canton studio.

CrossFit Legitimus is located on 130 Dowd Ave. in Canton.

Well said Mr. Franks! A new town garage is needed, but not at that price tag. The town leadershipRead More needs to offer a far better option to the voters than this. I am also voting NO...

Hey Larry, Wyatt asked you for the other 3 sites. Lets hear your answer and why exactly you feelRead More they will work. The EDA has been saying garbage like that for over a year. The Board of Selectman asked them three times to share their data. Of course they delivered nothing yet continue to say there is a better way. They have had plenty of times to show a better plan.

Hear, hear, Sarah. The real reason people are opposing this plan is a "not in my backyard"Read More attitude--it has nothing to do with cost. If so many people in town were so concerned about wasteful expenditures, we would have heard them complain about $3.6 million for a track and field! When the "dumb" location argument failed to make headway, the opponents to the "dumb" garage plan, acting purely out of self-interest and not for the common good, switched to a financial argument. You can't fool me: I voted yes.

@Larry. What are the 3 sites?

@Steve. Kudos! Nice to see some common sense and decency. The actions of "Citizens for aRead More Better Canton" have been shameful to say the least - attacking critics, distributing misleading information and attacking the good people who volunteer their time to make Canton a better place to live.

It makes me chuckle when someone spends weeks mudslinging, finger pointing, and pot shotting untilRead More the targets of their harassments speak up and then they decide the game is over, well sorry, I have only just begun. I was sickened by the behavior of certain people at the town meeting scheduled to discuss this garage project. Most of them where given a script to read using lies and incorrect numbers to attack members of town boards and commission. They attacked the intelligence, ethics, and integrity of members of the Board of Selectmen, Board of Finance, Permanent Municipal Building Committee and project consultants. You have even managed to involve our neighbors from Barkhamsted in your May 15 Patch submission, referring to them as “Hairshirt wearing radicals who don’t wash their cars”, again full of incorrect numbers and misinformation. I am attending a Board of Ethics Meeting tonight to defend myself from mud slung on me by those finger pointers trying to distract from the facts at hand. These very same people told this town that they wanted a football field and they wanted a pool. They said that the folks in Canton deserved these things. They understood that these things came with a price tag and they were ready to pay it. Funny how the song has changed now that we have changed our focus to a much less glamorous project. Perhaps if we were proposing a hockey rink or an equestrian team $5.4 million wouldn’t be so much.
