Railroad CrossFit, 351 Fairview Avenue, Hudson, NY (2026)

Hear from Bri, a member of Railroad:

1. I joined Railroad because I could not stay consistent with my own training and I really struggled with pushing myself working out alone.
For me trying a new approach proved incredibly helpful and totally worth the money.
I would encourage anyone who is struggling in any area with their personal fitness to at least try it out.
Those were my personal reasons but I can 100% recommend Railroad to anyone.
And if you have never worked out, I cannot think of a better place to start.
The training is very solid and longevity focused, the coaches are not only very good at what they do but also care about everyone on an individual level.

2. Two fears I had were a) I wouldn’t stay strong enough not working out every day and b) I wouldn’t improve if I wasn’t training with people as good or better than me all the time. I have come to see that the consistency of a few days a week adds up and is infinitely better than going hard every day and then dropping off for a month.
Joining Railroad I have been able to commit to attainable attendance goals and it has led to more time spent working out in the long run.
Additionally I have come to appreciate the beauty of the range of different people and fitness levels that attend Railroad.
There is a place for everyone, everything can be scaled to be harder or easier and there is always something to learn or pass on to others.
Partner workouts have become a favorite of mine regardless of whether we are on the same fitness level or not.

3. Railroad has become a fun part of my life!
I really enjoy getting to workout with everyone who goes there, and learn from all the coaches.
I have really been learning to mentally push myself over the past few months.
What is especially exciting is noticing things that are easier outside of the gym.
Cardio was an area I really struggled with mostly from the mental side of just trying to get through it.

Since doing crossfit I have become much better at running and biking, and I have been learning to embrace the suck and enjoy it instead of feeling like I can’t and giving up.

We help adults in their late 30’s to 70’s become healthier, fitter and stronger.

Adults at Railroad love the experience and thrive because of:

•Guidance,
•structure,
•Intentional program design,

And

How do you stay committed to your workouts, training two to three+ a week when life’s plate gets full, you feel pulled in a lot of directions or are feeling stress and the demands or emotions of what’s occurring in your world?

What a great question.

A few things come up, that may be relatable, provide stimulating thoughts or ideas to inquire further / test within yourself and observe and implement within your own process.

Here are two lines, declarations, consciously chosen ways of being and daily creations, from my personal document:

I am the daily choices that honor my health, well being and longevity.

I am the environment where health thrives.

I speak these multiple times a day.

They are places I come from and what I live into each day.

This includes how I sleep, what I eat, walks, alone time, slowing down to be with my breath, consuming less distractions, working with my own coach, building habits that support my overall well being.

Including my movement practice.

When it’s 7pm at night and I don’t want to do my shoulder rehab series…

When I don’t feel like working out on a particular day…

When I don’t want to prepare a meal…

When negative or disempowering thoughts are prevalent and feel frequent…

I will pause, observe the thought or thoughts that are occurring — and I make a choice.

And sometimes that choice takes will power.

It takes choosing discomfort over comfort.

Not giving in to my excuses or limiting stories.

And I often reflect on who I want to be and then I take action.

I get up and do the shoulder series routine.

I change my shoes and begin warming up and moving my body.

I get out the food to prepare the meal.

I drop non useful thinking and ask myself what’s really true?

I’ve spoken with a few people lately about schedules, life demands and such.

And how easy it is to not prioritize ourselves, our workouts if we aren’t scheduling things around them.

A skill I encourage all people to build is scheduling things around your workout times.

It’s less important when you workout, morning, mid day, evening and more important your consistently working out 2 to 5x a week.

And this isn’t just about “getting in a workout.”

At it’s core…

It’s our stress relief.

It’s taking care of my entire body today and for the future.

It’s the ripple effect that comes out of it.

I sleep better.

I make better food choices.

My mood is better.

It’s connection and camaraderie.

It’s about continuing self trust and reliance.

I follow through.

I am being my word with myself.

And it’s feeling better than when I started.

I can come in low mood, lower energy, coming off feeling unwell, and always leave feeling better.

Feeling accomplished.

Feeling supported.

Feeling as if I deposited into my health of today and health of tomorrow.

If I keep letting things get in the way, aren’t taking agency of my schedule or my lifestyle habits and let too much get in the way of training consistently I run the risk of my health, fitness and overall wellness declining.

Slowly at first.

Then with more time compounding.

And this doesn’t just affect me.

I can’t care for others, my family, my community, my clients, if I am not taking care of myself consistently.

I am in the camp of taking a bold stand for myself, first and foremost when it comes to my health and my fitness.

I encourage if that thought hasn’t crossed your mind, to consider it for yourself as well.

Not for me, not for Railroad.

For you.

For your own well being.

For those you love dearly around you.

And keep perspective along the way.

Something is better than nothing.

10 Pushups beats doing nothing.

A 1 minute plank hold strengthens your core.

A 1-2 minute wall sit or bunch of Air Squats serves you.

A 10-30 min walk beats sitting all day.

Putting your phone down and writing / journaling / reflecting beats scrolling for 10-20 minutes.

Preparing a healthy home cooked meal, or even a balanced snack beats eating fast food, processed food or skipping eating all together.

A 30-45- or 60 minute workout will always be better, leave you feeling better, than binge watching netflix, working that extra hour or wherever we allow ourselves to get hung up and let our own self care slip off.

Even when it’s early.

Even when it’s late.

Even when it’s inconvenient or our motivation is low or not there.

Choose yourself.

loving you, Coach Shawn

Community.

One of the best parts of our gym is the people.

Every day, amazing people walk through our doors.

They’re welcoming, supportive, humble, and genuinely happy to see others succeed around them.

They willingly better and challenge themselves.

They create and support upholding an inclusive accepting atmosphere.

That kind of community makes a difference.

Training is more enjoyable
when you’re surrounded by people who encourage you, are excited to see you, celebrate your wins, and help you through the tough days.

Showing up is easier.
Challenges are more manageable.

The hard work becomes a lot more fun and doable.

That’s what happens inside here everyday.

Railroad is a great gym with great people,
more than a place to workout...

It’s a place where people learn together, grow together, overcome challenges together and lift each other up and help one another become better, together.

It’s no surprise that because Ken (photo’d here) and his wife who’ve been training at Railroad for over a decade, their two younger sons are active themselves.

In fact their kids began fitness in a kids program we had years ago and now are cross country and track superstars.

Ken and Maria both lead by example as parents in prioritizing health and fitness.

They are busy, have full time careers, live 40 minutes away, have their own stresses, have had injuries or setbacks they’ve overcome...
They could create excuses…

instead they create consistency.
They create results, action and prioritize their health and fitness through it all.

And in doing so it supports their entire family and their actions around health.

The ripple effect is profound…

And a special shout out to Ken,
who recently ran a 6:37 1 mile run on Memorial Day at 51 years young…with relative ease.

A inspiration to not only his boys and wife - yet to all of us.

Fitness compounds.

As do healthy choices, actions and decisions.

Choose your health always

Amazing !

Fred is an inspiration. Not only by what he can do, by who he is.
Through what he represents.

Consistency.
Longevity.
Strength.
Capability.
Great attitude and outlook.

Fred has been a part of Railroad for years,

And Fred is that!

Way to go Freddy!

Betsy 😊 performing a kettlebell march.

(She’s holding 53lb in each hand 😮)

She is training her core…

Your core does a lot more than help you look good at the beach.

It’s involved in nearly every movement you make throughout the day.

Getting out of a chair.
Climbing stairs.
Reaching into a cabinet.
Carrying groceries.
Playing with your kids, grandkids, animals.
Walking across an uneven surface.

Your core helps stabilize your spine and transfer force between your upper and lower body.

When it’s weak, everyday movements can feel less secure and put more stress on your joints and back.

A stronger core makes everything easier.

better balance, better posture, more confidence moving through daily life, and less vulnerability to strains, aches, and injuries.

And core training isn’t about having or seeing six-pack abs.

A strong core is about a body that feels strong, capable, resilient and ready for whatever life demands or presents.

Ever notice how different you feel when you leave the gym compared to when you walked in?

The workout didn’t solve every problem waiting for you outside these walls.

The emails are still there.
The challenges still await.
Life still happens…

Yet somehow your shoulders feel a little lighter.
Your mind feels a little clearer.
You have a little more patience, a little more energy, and a better outlook on the day.

That’s one of the biggest reasons we train

Most adults spend their days taking care of everyone and everything else.

Work deadlines.
Family responsibilities.
Appointments.
Endless to-do lists.

30 minutes to an hour in the gym is one of the few times you get to focus on yourself.

Take care of you and be taken care of.

You move, you sweat, you breathe, you laugh, and for a little while the noise gets turned down.

That’s a huge part of why people leave with a smile on their face.

You de stress, feel better, poured into you with great people, and had a good time doing so.

Most adults miss feeling capable and confident in their bodies.
They miss the play and exploration of being a child.

A seated box jump isn’t just about jumping on a box.

It’s knowing your body can respond when you ask something challenging or new of it.

It’s trusting your legs, your mind, your ability…

Trusting yourself.

The people at Railroad, build, rebuild and preserve capability.

What would you try if you trusted your body a little more?

Sometimes you need evidence.

Evidence that you’re stronger or more capable than you think.

We help people see, build and experience their evidence.
