There’s 8,000-square-feet of unused space behind Play Louisville, and by mid-April it will be a new gym called Totally, In Top Shape CrossFit Gym.
The area around the Butchertown nightclub at 1101 E. Washington St. has boomed with development in recent years, but the back section of the building has gone largely unnoticed.
Crossfit has a habit of fostering transformations, though.
This empty warehouse space with its own entrance on Buchanan Street is likely no exception.
Come October, Katie Blieden and her business partners, Michael Hadley, Bill Mayo and Ryan Danner, will be guiding their clients through functional fitness workouts. The practice involves a combination of weightlifting, gymnastics, running, rowing and a variety of other practical movements, and it's got a reputation for driving dramatic physical changes.
Membership will start at about $145 a month, but they intend to offer founding member rates when they announce the grand opening.
The partners considered several other sites and neighborhoods when they decided to start their own gym. Butchertown is on the rise, though, Blieden told me, and they were eager to rise with it.
Their new gym will be just an eyeshot away from the new Louisville City FC stadium. It’ll neighbor Copper & Kings distillery, which just opened a rooftop bar earlier this spring. Todd Roman, one of the owners of Play, has a small apartment development in the works just to the west of the club. There's been no shortage of restaurant and retail additions in that neighborhood in recent years, too.
There’s more to the neighborhood than the development, though, Hadley told me.
Butchertown has a reputation for being inclusive and building a strong community, and those are principles of Crossfit, too.
The workouts can be scaled to fit almost any fitness level, Hadley told me. No matter where you are in your life or your fitness journey, Crossfit workouts can be adjusted to fit your ability.

"I just couldn't take it anymore, and unleashed my forces at the person who was irritating me. I had no idea the energy of my rage could cause such destruction," says Anna. Despite the ruination her anger has caused, Anna says she has no regrets. "I actually wish I knew I had this ability sooner!" Anna laughs. "There are a lot of people and things I could have eradicated from my life in this way."

whale spotted in illinois river A humpback whale was spotted near Morris IL in the Illinois River today. The sighting comes just days after 2 Great White Sharks were seen frolicking in the same area. While not impossible, it does seem unlikely. It is thought that the whale may have followed the sharks as they sometimes do in the wild. The whale would of had to travel over 1250 miles to get to this location. The Marine Biologist Association will be in town for a full investigation. Until we have answers, we are asking folks to keep their pontoons and fishing boats docked.

two great white sharks found swimming in mississippi river near saint louis, missouri. While it is not entirely impossible, it is incredibly uncommon for salt water dwelling creatures to stay for lengthy periods of time in fresh water. However, two Great White Sharks have managed to survive the trip and make their way up the Mississippi River somehow. Believed to have started as a mating couple, the two are assumed to have swam the 920 mile journey from the mouth of the Mississippi River that is connected to the Gulf Of Mexico. Officials in Saint Louis have contacted the Missouri Conservation Department and will likely have a team in the river soon to capture the two lost sharks.
