CrossFit – What is it?

CrossFit is for you if you:

  • Are no longer seeing results with your current training regime;
  • Are looking to get faster or stronger in your sport;
  • Have lost interest in your gym routine;
  • Thinks you don’t have time to exercise.

CrossFit FAQ’s

CrossFit is a strength and conditioning fitness methodology that promotes broad and general overall physical fitness. It is not sport-specific. The workouts are based on functional movements. They are performed at high intensity, brief (often 20 minutes or less) and do not use weight machines. The workouts typically call for athletes to work hard and fast, often with no rest. In addition, many CrossFit gyms use scoring and ranking systems, transforming workouts into a sport.

CrossFit maintains that proficiency is required in each of 10 fitness domains: cardiovascular/respiratory endurance, stamina, strength, flexibility, power, speed, agility, balance, coordination, and accuracy. CrossFit uses free weights, kettle bells, gymnastics rings, pull-up bars and many calisthenics exercises. CrossFit may call on athletes to skip, run, and row, climb ropes, jump up on boxes, flip giant tires, and carry odd objects. They can also squat and throw medicine balls against walls.

The CrossFit program is designed for universal scalability making it the perfect application for any committed individual regardless of fitness level or experience. We use our same routines for elderly individuals as we do athletes, marines, fire fighters or regular gym attendees. We scale the load and intensity of each work out; we don’t change programs.
