What is CrossFit?

CrossFit is a strength and conditioning system developed by Coach Greg Glassman in Santa Cruz, California in the late 90's. Coach Glassman's idea was to take the most effective movements from the gymnastics and weightlifting community to create the most versatile athletes. CrossFit is popular among the military, police academies, and tactical operations teams, and hundreds of other elite fitness and professional athletes worldwide. It has also been implemented in nursing homes, schools, and used in physical therapy.

One of the things that makes CrossFit unique is that it addresses the needs of both a de-conditioned person and an Olympic athlete. The only difference is in the speed, intensity, volume, and weight used. It's scalable, making it great for any committed individual regardless of age, gender, or athletic ability. CrossFit has used the same routines for elderly individuals with heart disease to prized boxers one month out from televised bouts. We scale load and intensity; we don't change programs. 

CrossFit delivers a system that is by design broad, general, and inclusive. Its specialty is not specializing, and it's workouts elicit a neuroendocrine response from the body by taxing it to the core with variety, intensity, and functional movements.

It's also constantly evolving. It takes what works best and eliminates what doesn't. CrossFit remains, the most effective fitness program to date. It has been called "The Sport of Fitness" because it reintroduces personal athletic achievement and performance to training. The mindset at the start of each workout is to be stronger, move faster, more efficiently, with better results. It's fun, exciting, challenging, and will push you to be your absolute best!
