What is Crossfit?

According to Crossfit.com, CrossFit is the principal strength and conditioning program for many police academies and tactical operations teams, military special operations units, champion martial artists, and hundreds of other elite and professional athletes worldwide.

The Crossfit program delivers a fitness that is, by design, broad, general, and inclusive. Crossfit's specialty is not specializing. Combat, survival, many sports, and life reward this kind of fitness and, on average, punish the specialist.

The CrossFit program is designed for universal scalability making it the perfect application for any committed individual regardless of experience. The program has been used, with the same routines, for elderly individuals with heart disease and cage fighters one month out from televised bouts. Crossfit scales load and intensity; we don’t change programs.

The needs of Olympic athletes and our grandparents differ by degree not kind. Our terrorist hunters, skiers, mountain bike riders and housewives have found their best fitness from the same regimen.

Thousands of athletes worldwide have followed the Crossfit workouts posted daily on this site and distinguished themselves in combat, the streets, the ring, stadiums, gyms and homes.
