Where should I park?

VIEW ANSWER

STREET PARKING is easy to find before 9am. It's free before the hours of 8am and after 6pm, with variable meter pricing between those hours.

The MONTCLAIR PARKING GARAGE is a convenient and reasonably priced option. The first 20 minutes are free and CRUfit sells discounted parking for $1 per hour (purchase validation stickers at our front desk before you leave the club). The garage is located at 6235 La Salle Ave, two short blocks from CRUfit. The automobile entrance to the garage is located at the top of La Salle. Use the pedestrian exit on the Medau Place side to walk down to CRUfit. The Garage is open: Monday - Saturday 7AM-9PM. Sunday 8:30AM-6PM (Free Parking All Day)

What shoes do I need for cycling class?

VIEW ANSWER

The majority of our bikes are set up for use with regular athletic shoes* or bike shoes with SPD cleats. We also have four bikes that are compatible with older-style LOOK cleats and two bikes which are compatible with the newer LOOK Keo cleats. When signing up for a cycling class, you'll be prompted to choose a bike and the bikes with special pedals are designated on the Cycling Theater Map. *NOTE: regular athletic shoes with harder, less-flexible, soles can be more comfortable for those with sensitive feet.

Are there locker rooms?

VIEW DESCRIPTION

Both Men’s and Women’s locker rooms are equipped with lockers, restrooms, showers and dry saunas. We will have hand towels for guests while they workout, but you will need to bring full towels if you wish to shower.

Should I use a Heart Rate Monitor?

VIEW ANSWER

If you are training at CRUfit regularly, we suggest that you consider adding heart rate monitoring to your program. A heart rate monitor helps you identify when you are getting fitter (more work getting done at the same heart rate, faster heart rate recovery, etc.) and can also help you identify when you may need additional recovery time.

Most of our Concept2 rowing machines will work with heart rate monitors that send an ANT+ wireless signal. We have several rowing machines will work with heart rate monitors that send a Bluetooth wireless signal.

VIEW ANSWER
