CrossFit is constantly varied functional movements performed at a high intensity.
CrossFit has been and always will be a safe space for all regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, fitness level or age.
CrossFit is empirically driven, clinically tested and community developed. CrossFit defines fitness as: increased work capacity across broad time and modal domains. Capacity is the ability to do real work, which is measurable using the basic terms of physics (force, distance and time). Life is unpredictable (much more so than sport) so real world fitness must be broad and not specialized, both in terms of duration and type of effort (time and modal domains).
The magic is in the movements. All of CrossFit’s workouts are based on functional movements. These are the core movements of life, found everywhere, and built naturally into our DNA. They move the largest loads the longest distances so they are ideal for maximizing the amount of work done in the shortest time (intensity).
By employing a constantly-varied approach to training, these functional movements at maximum intensity, lead to dramatic gains in fitness. Intensity is essential for results. The more work you do in less time, the more intense the effort.
While it challenges the world’s fittest, the CrossFit program is designed for universal scalability, making it the perfect application for any committed individual, regardless of experience.
