Sand and Steel Fitness Offers Free Classes To Military & Veterans

Sand and Steel Fitness, a top-rated personal training and fitness gym, recently located to a new, larger training facility in Alexandria, Virginia, is pleased to offer free yoga and CrossFit classes to all members of Team Red White and Blue. Team RWB is a nonprofit organization that enriches the lives of America’s veterans by connecting them to their community through physical and social activity.

In November, Sand and Steel Fitness moved to 5418 Eisenhower Avenue in the heart of the West End neighborhood. Working with the Washington, DC, chapter, Sand and Steel will offer free classes to Team RWB members, also called Eagles, from throughout Northern Virginia, suburban Maryland and the Nation’s Capital. The gym is conveniently located near the Van Dorn Metro and the Van Dorn Beltway exit, and offers plenty of free parking.

“Sand and Steel is honored to provide classes to all area military heroes and their families,” said owner and lead trainer Paul Roberts. “By providing free classes in gentler yoga and high-energy CrossFit, our team hopes to meet everyone’s exercise preferences. We are so grateful to have this opportunity to thank these heroes on a sustained basis through free fitness options.”

Participants must first be members of Team RWB, then they can sign up for these Sand and Steel classes. SSF’s yoga classes teach the 88 basic poses and which variations are the best for personal alignment. The CrossFit Alexandria classes are vigorous for those wanting to get into shape quickly. Both offerings are specially designed for veterans who may have mobility challenges due to past injuries. All workouts are scaled to individual levels of fitness and modified to accommodate any issues. Eagles should fill out the 10-minute client intake form before their first classes, then register for classes at least six hours in advance. Active duty military, FBI, CIA and law enforcement officers with government credentials are eligible for service discounts.
