What is CrossFit?

 

CrossFit is the principal strength and conditioning program for many police academies and tactical operations teams, military special operations units, champion martial artists, and hundreds of other elite and professional athletes worldwide.

Our program delivers a fitness that is, by design, broad, general, and inclusive. Our specialty is not specializing. Combat, survival, many sports, and life reward this kind of fitness and, on average, punish the specialist. CrossFit is aimed at developing an equal balance of strength, endurance, and mobility through a variety of almost randomly selected exercises that closely mimic natural human movement. These movements are performed for short, medium, and long durations at as high of an intensity that each individual can physically and psychologically tolerate within their current fitness level.

 

The fitness needs of Olympic athletes and our grandparents differ by degree not kind. Our terrorist hunters, skiers, mountain bike riders and housewives have found their best fitness from the same regimen. 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 cage fighters one month out from televised bouts. We scale load and intensity; we don’t change programs.

Even though we offer nutritional recommendations, our program is not merely about weight loss. It's about life-long health and fitness. By taking you out of the ambient comforts of a typical commercial gym you will challenge yourself to new levels and discover hidden abilities. It comes down to attaining your genetic potential, both in health and fitness, and CrossFit has been empirically proven to direct every marker of health in the direction of wellness.
