WHAT IS CROSSFIT

The Perfect Fitness Program For Any Committed Individual

The CrossFit program is designed for universal scalability making it the perfect application for any committed individual regardless of experience. We’ve used our same routines for elderly individuals with heart disease and professional athletes. We scale load and intensity; but the program remains the same. And so does the effectiveness of the results.

CrossFit is many things. Primarily, it’s a fitness regimen developed by Coach Greg Glassman over several decades. He was the first person in history to define fitness in a meaningful, measurable way (increased work capacity across broad time and modal domains).
CrossFit itself is defined as that which optimizes fitness (constantly varied functional movements performed at relatively high intensity). CrossFit is also the community that spontaneously arises when people do these workouts together. In fact, the communal aspect of CrossFit is a key component of why it’s so effective.

CONSTANTLY VARIED

We believe that preparation for random physical challenges—i.e., unknown and unknowable events that occur in everyday life—is at odds with fixed, predictable, and routine regimens. By constantly varying our workouts we have found to get a much better overall improvement in our participants.

FUNCTIONAL MOVEMENTS

The magic is in the movements. All of CrossFit’s workouts are based on functional movements. These are the core movements of life, found everywhere, and built naturally into our DNA.

HIGH INTENSITY

Intensity is essential for results and is measurable as work/time. The more work you do in less time, the more intense the effort. We’ve learned that harnessing the natural camaraderie, competition, and fun of sport or game yields an intensity that cannot be matched by other means.

We Offer Training To Suit Any Fitness Level
