We offer a fun and exciting environment that has a real family atmosphere. We do things here that can get you kicked out of other gyms. We use chalk, drop weights, and make noise. We play your music (bring in what you want to listen to during your workout). We post workout results on the whiteboard for all to see. Creating both competition and camaraderie. There is always a coach present; observing and correcting during the workouts to make sure that you are moving correctly. We don’t just show you once how to do something and cut you loose. We are always there coaching you and pushing you to be your best.
“CrossFit is the principal strength and conditioning program for many police academies and tactical operations teams, military special operations units, champion martial artists, fire departments, and hundreds of other elite and professional athletes worldwide. Our program delivers a fitness that is, by design, broad, general, and inclusive. Our specialty is no specializing. Combat, survival, many sports, and life reward this kind of fitness and, on average, punish the specialist.
The CrossFit program is designed for universal scalability making it the perfect application for any committed individual regardless of experience. 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.
The needs of Olympic athletes and our grandparents differ by degree not kind. Our hunters, skiers, mountain bike riders and housewives have found their best fitness from the same regimen. Thousands of athletes worldwide have followed the workouts posted and distinguished themselves in combat, the streets, the ring, stadiums, gyms and home.” Courtesy of CrossFit, inc.
