DOZENS of people having been experiencing the health benefits of a new fitness revolution that has taken the United States by storm.

After two years of planning and research, fitness expert Terry Anderson and his wife, Vikki, an experienced businesswoman, have brought CrossFit to their hometown, Newton Aycliffe.

And, during a recent open weekend, the couple invited the public to try out the revolutionary strength and conditioning programme for free at CrossFit All Out, their gym at North Field Way, in Aycliffe Business Park.

Mr Anderson said: "I am so passionate about CrossFit because after training hard all of my adult life, I've seen first-hand the amazing results from CrossFit, the fantastic community spirit between members, which is highlighted by the support and encouragement of each other, regardless of their fitness levels.”
