What is CrossFit?
CrossFit is constantly varied, functional movements performed at high intensity.
Constantly Varied - A different, FUN workout every single day. You will never be bored, and your body never gets too comfortable.
Functional Movements - We train the movements real life actually asks of you: picking up your kids, carrying groceries, reaching the top shelf, getting up off the floor. No bicep curl machines and no leg extension machines. Just your whole body learning to work together, so everyday life gets easier.
High Intensity - Every class is a full hour with a coach: a warm-up, hands-on teaching of the day's movements, the workout itself, and a cool-down. The workout portion is often 15 to 20 minutes of focused, hard work, and those minutes are what drive the results, and the energy you feel for the rest of the day. No more back and bi day followed by 45 minutes on the treadmill. Get in, do the work, get out, and get on with your life.
And…every bit of it is adjusted to fit your current fitness level. Same workout, your version of it, with a coach right there making sure it is right for you.
Our Mission
Our mission is bigger than fitness for its own sake. We want you to fully participate in your life, not sit on the sidelines watching it happen. So what does CrossFit count as fit?
The Definition of Fitness: Increased work capacity across broad time and modal domains. To put it simply, it means the ability to do more stuff, for longer periods of time, that are hard to do, and do them better than before.
CrossFit measures fitness through 10 general physical skills:
1. Cardio endurance - body’s ability to process oxygen
2. Stamina - muscles' ability to process glycogen (energy)
3. Strength - your muscles' ability to apply force
4. Flexibility - ability to maximize range of motion at a joint
5. Speed - ability to minimize time cycle of a repeated movement
6. Power - ability of the body to apply maximum force in minimum time
7. Coordination - ability to combine several distinct movement patterns into one movement
8. Agility - ability to minimize transition time from one movement pattern to another
9. Balance - control the body's center of gravity over its base
10. Accuracy - control movement in a given direction or at certain intensity
CrossFit will help you improve in all 10 of these domains leading to a healthier, more fit life.
