CrossFit is constantly varied, functional fitness at high intensity. CrossFit helps cultivate a well-rounded representation of fitness through a variety of movement patterns, time domains, and loading. CrossFit specializes in not specializing – in other words, we train it all.

You want to run a marathon faster, add CrossFit to your training. You want to improve your triathlon time, add CrossFit to your training. You want to run your first 5k or just be able to chase your kids around? Add CrossFit to your life. Through our training, we will improve your: Endurance, Stamina, Strength, Flexibility, Power, Speed, Coordination, Agility, Balance, & Accuracy.

You will be introduced to our foundational movements (squatting, pressing, and pulling movements) through our On-Boarding program in a small class setting at our own pace. Once you’re in our group classes, our professional coaches will be with your every step of the way and continue to help your progress. Our classes average 8-12 people per class. This allows for our coaches to develop real relationships with our members and keep everyone moving safely. Your fellow classmates are your team, friends, and family.

We believe in our community, and lifelong relationships are made here!

Licensed Massage Therapist 

Danielle E. Bakle 

Danielle is currently the Massage Therapist at The Retreat, located inside CrossFit 4185. 

Before joining us, she was a Cosmetologist for 17 years when she decided to make a change. She researched Massage Therapy and decided that she could incorporate therapy into her salon business. Danielle ended up finding massage to be so much more rewarding that she quit doing hair altogether. In 2010, she enrolled in the Therapeutic Massage program at Ivy Tech Northeast, where she earned an Associate's Degree in Health Sciences. 

Danielle started her career at Massage Envy right out of school and has been there the last 7 years, being their Lead Therapist for 4 years. 

Her modalities include Swedish, Sports, Deep Tissue, Trigger Point Therapy, Prenatal, Oncology, and Shiatsu/Acupressure. 

Certifications include Hot Stone Therapy, Oncology, Reflexology, Cervical/Neck specialties, and Acupressure for Migraines and Sinus. 

After 10 years of massage, Danielle is still in love with it and loves healing her clients. 

When she's not massaging, you can find Danielle spending time with her husband and their five children! As a side hobby, Danielle runs a gourmet cheesecake business!  Danielle looks forward to providing healing and wellness to everyone in the CrossFit Family♥️
