ABOUT US
Owning a gym and helping people get fit was always a dream of mine. When I first decided I wanted to be a gym owner, I thought I had to get out of Danville and start somewhere "better." After spending a few months living in a bigger city, I realized that what I was looking for was right here at home in Danville. Shortly after that, the idea of Old 97 CrossFit became a reality and we planted our seed in Danville's growing River District. We are proud to be serving the Danville area and we always will be.
We are more than just a gym, we are a family.
Contact us, schedule your intro, and let us walk with you on your fitness journey.
