"CrossFit is a strength and conditioning program built on constantly varied, if not randomized, functional movements executed at high intensity."
- Coach Greg Glassman

What is CrossFit?

CrossFit is a lot of things and not just one thing.  It’s a fitness regimen developed by Coach Greg Glassman over several decades, where fitness is defined in a meaningful, measureable way (increased work capacity across broad time and modal domains).

All of CrossFit’s workouts are based on functional movements and each work out (called WOD – workout of the day) varies.  CrossFit optimizes fitness (constantly varied functional movements performed at relatively high intensity); it is also the community that spontaneously arises when people do these workouts together.

CrossFit focuses on all ten elements of optimal physical fitness:

1. Cardio/Respiratory Endurance
2. Stamina
3. Strength
4. Flexibility
5. Power
6. Speed
7. Coordination
8. Agility
9. Balance
10. Accuracy

CrossFit is not easy and it’s not simple.

To be fit and physically competent to handle all of the challenges in life is no small endeavor.  As you work to become a fitter and healthier person, you will need to learn about:

Movement – how to move safely and effectively.

Fitness – what it means to be fit: its definition, the supporting theories, and how to go about attaining it in real life.

Nutrition – eat a healthy diet to ensure sufficient nutrition that includes meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch, and no sugar.  Keep consumption to levels that will support exercise, but not body fat.
