History

Established in 2009.

Penny Hughes, the owner of CrossFit Chronic, has an extensive and diverse fitness background. For the last twenty-​four years, she has worked with the premier gyms in the Tidewater area, honing her coaching skills and developing unique programs to suit the wide-​ranging needs of her clientele. Her workouts have become renowned for their variety, integration, muscle confusion focus, and, most importantly, results! As her reputation for results grew, it became clear that Penny’s clients were far more interested in training with her, than simply poning up the monthly fee for a traditional gym with the same old equipment and the same old classes. It was a natural transition for Penny to open her own gym. SHIFT in Oct. 2009.

On Shifts 4 year anniversary they became a CrossFit affiliate. A long time goal of Penny’s for more than a year. Welcome to CrossFit Chronic. We look forward to meeting you.
