East Chestnut Fitness

Get ready to go all in at the Oscar Lasko YMCA in downtown West Chester, PA.

Get started with a free trial class. No commitment is necessary.

 

All workouts are based on functional movements and these movements reflect the best aspects of gymnastics, weightlifting, running, rowing and more. These are the core movements of life. They move the largest loads the longest distances, so they are ideal for maximizing the amount of work done in the shortest time. By employing a constantly varied approach to training, functional movements and intensity lead to dramatic gains in fitness.
