What Wiki says...
CrossFit advocates a mix of aerobic exercise, gymnastics (body weight exercises), and Olympic weight lifting. 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—30 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. These elements are mixed in numerous combinations to form prescribed "Workouts of the Day" or "WODs". Hour-long classes at affiliated gyms, or "boxes", typically include a warm-up, a skill development segment, the high-intensity WOD, and a period of individual or group stretching. Performance on each WOD is often scored and/or ranked to encourage competition and to track individual progress. Some affiliates offer additional classes, such as Olympic weightlifting, which are not centered around a WOD. The aim of CrossFit is to physically prepare people for whatever life might throw at them
What it doesn't say.....
CrossFit allows all types of people to take part in workouts together no matter what their age and ability. It captures peoples hearts and minds, gives them purpose in the gym and teaches them that no matter what, we are all in it together!
I have seen people change through CrossFit, not only physically but mentally, what i teach them in the gym transfers across into their lives and touches everyone around them.
CrossFit is not just a business to us, nor is it just a gym. CrossFit is 3 things to us 1. Community 2. Passion 3. Lifestyle
