CrossFit

Founded in 1974, CrossFit is a fitness and health program comprised of constantly varied functional movements performed at relatively high intensity.

In fact, there are more than 13,000 CrossFit affiliates across the globe.

The CrossFit program delivers a fitness that is, by design, broad, general, and inclusive. It is designed for universal scalability making it the perfect application for any committed individual regardless of experience. These routines have been used for elderly individuals with heart disease and cage fighters one month out from televised bouts. The program is the same for everyone, but with scaled load and intensity.
