What is CrossFit?


You've probably heard people talk about CrossFit, but maybe you haven't tried it... or even really knew what they were talking about.

CrossFit describes its strength and conditioning program as “constantly varied, high intensity, functional movement with the stated goal of improving fitness which it defines as "work capacity across broad time and modal domains." Workouts are typically short—20 minutes or less—and intense, demanding all-out physical exertion. They combine movements such as sprinting, rowing, jumping rope, climbing rope, flipping tires, weightlifting, carrying heavy objects, and many bodyweight exercises; equipment used includes barbells, dumbbells, gymnastics rings, pull-up bars, kettlebells, medicine balls, and boxes for box jumps.
