CrossFit is a principal strength and conditioning program that delivers fitness that is, by design, broad, general, and inclusive. It is the sport of fitness, combining cardio-respiratory, strength, and gymnastics all into one. Constantly varied,
high intensity, functional movements sum it up.
The program specializes in not specializing, which in turn creates a broad and high fitness level for its participants.
The CrossFit program is designed for universal scalability making it the perfect application for any committed individual regardless of experience. CrossFit allows for the same programming to be applied to elderly individuals with heart
disease and elite athletes. We scale load and intensity; we don’t change programs.
The needs of Olympic athletes and our grandparents differ by degree not kind. Military personnel, firefighters, police officers, skiers, mountain bike riders, and housewives have found their best fitness from the same regimen.
CrossFit is fitness defined.
CrossFit is an exercise concept by former gymnast Greg Glassman, was originally developed as an exercise program combining training techniques from various sports that could benefit everyone. This multi-faceted fitness program, by scaling the intensity and skill level of each workout, has universal appeal and application; it is ideal for people of all ages and experience levels.
CrossFit is designed to improve fitness in ten areas:
Cardio/Respiratory Endurance
Stamina
Strength
Flexibility
Power
Speed
Coordination
Agility

The CrossFit program incorporates full body motions and specific body weight exercises including but not limited to: gymnastic movements, jumping, climbing, Russian kettlebell training, rowing, and more randomly combined movements at
various intensities with short rest periods to achieve optimal results.
Because each CrossFit workout will be constantly changing and consistently challenging, there is little room for your body to plateau, your results to stagnate, and for your routine to bore you.
The CrossFit training program: it’s hard; it’s simple; it works
