CrossFit is a core strength and conditioning program designed to elicit as broad an adaptational response as possible. CrossFit’s programming is built on Constantly Varied, Functional Movements, executed at High Intensity. CrossFit is not a specialized fitness program, but one that develops General Physical Preparedness (GPP) — a deliberate attempt to optimize physical competence in each of ten recognized fitness domains.
10 General Physical Skills:
- Cardiovascular & Respiratory Endurance
- Stamina
- Strength
- Flexibility
- Power
- Speed
- Coordination
- Agility
- Balance
- Accuracy
So What Does That Mean?
The CrossFit Program was developed to enhance an individual’s competency at all physical tasks. Our athletes are trained to successfully perform multiple, diverse, and randomized physical challenges. Each day your workout will be different than the day before (Constantly Varied). Your workouts will include full body movements that mimic natural movements you perform on a daily basis — carrying grocery bags to your car? That’s a farmer’s walk. Picking a heavy box up off of the floor? That’s a deadlift (Functional Movements). Finally, your workouts may be 5 minutes long or an hour long, but you will be tired when you are finished (High Intensity). Every workout will improve your fitness level in at least one, if not several, of the 10 physical skills mentioned above.
Our goal is to help our members become stronger and more efficient in day-to-day activities. Our athletes train for life.
Who Can Do CrossFit?
Easy answer. Everyone.
CrossFit is designed for universal scalability making it the perfect application for any committed individual regardless of experience. It is used many police, fire, and military personnel for its ability to prepare for everything and anything. 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.
