A new fitness business called CrossFit Davidson has opened in a warehouse on Depot Street in Davidson. Its co-owners – Jason and Jane Elizabeth Huff – say it’s an “atypical gym” where daily cross-training classes focus in three areas: Olympic lifting, gymnastics, and conditioning.
The business was holding a grand opening Friday night, April 8, from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m., including a CrossFit Games event. Crossfit Davidson is at 305 Depot St., in the back building of the Metrolina Warehouse complex.
