What is CrossFit?

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

The CrossFit program is for everybody from elite athletes, firemen, LEO to office or construction workers, housewives, children. Despite the apparent rigor it is scaleable for young and old alike. It combines elements of gymnastics, Olympic weightlifting and metabolic conditioning to achieve an exceptional level of functional fitness.
“The needs of Olympic athletes and our grandparents differ by degree not kind.” — Greg Glassman

“We have taken high intensity, constantly varied, functional workouts and distilled load, range of motion, exercise, power, work, line of action, flexibility, speed and all pertinent metabolics to a single measure…usually time.” — Greg Glassman
