CLARKSBURG -

CrossFit 1863 is the first-ever CrossFit exercise facility to open in Harrison County.

It invited the public for a open house event on Saturday.

Co-owner of the new location, Mindy Layne, described the workout as a "strength and conditioning program built around functional movements."

Some of the typical movements include lifting, rowing, jumping rope, and sprinting.

Layne said workouts can be as short as 3 minutes, but don't usually last much longer than an hour.

"Basically people want to workout in a short timeframe and that's what CrossFit can offer," Layne said.
