What is Crossfit?

 

When you think of a “gym”, what comes to mind? If you are like most people you will think of rows of machines and banks of cardio equipment. Workouts are comprised of structured sets on a series of machines. You get a program card a brief show around and there you are left to fend for yourself. A few months go by and the novelty wears of and the results are no longer there. If they are not intimidating from the training point of view you are soon turned off by the sales people who have no real interest in real fitness.

 

What you get with CrossFit is Coaching by certified and experienced trainers, teaching you about real fitness, putting you on a leg press and making you go hard is not fitness nor is it effective. You pay us for our knowledge and advice and for us to be there for you.


CrossFit is suitable for any level of experience; the needs of an Olympic athlete to your average out of shape person are exactly the same. One is looking for Functional dominance the other Is looking for functional competence. By functional we mean to be able to do any of life’s physical challenges no matter what’s thrown at you. Look at the photos below that explains this.


We don’t use machines nor program cards, CrossFit is constantly varied functional movement executed at high intensity that teach you strength, stamina, flexibility, endurance, power, speed, balance, agility, co-ordination and accuracy. All scaled to suit your ability, CrossFit isn’t just another workout it’s a community of people who value true fitness taught by real trainers.

Have a look at these 3 photos, from what you can see is everyone is doing the same thing but on a different scale. Anyone who says you cant do these exercises obviously has no experience in scaling. The important thing to note is that no matter what level you are at, you should always be aiming for world class exercise and accept nothing less.
