CrossFit is a strength and conditioning program that operates under the understanding that being fit is not just being able to run long distances or just being able to lift heavy weights. We seek to help people improve in all aspects of physical life. Our goal is to prepare people for whatever physical demands may come in life.
The difference in the physical needs of an athlete and a grandmother vary not by type but by intensity. For example: the wrestler lifting his opponent for a take down and the mother lifting her baby out of the car use similar movements to accomplish their respective tasks. We call this functional movement - the movements you perform every day. Similarly, we scale our workouts not by type, but by intensity and weight for each person performing them. Our program is designed so people of any age, gender, and fitness level can benefit.
