What is CrossFit?
CrossFit is a core strength and conditioning program that improves all aspects of fitness through constantly varied functional movement done at high intensity. CrossFit combines body weight exercises, weight lifting, and cardiovascular conditioning for a challenging, fun, and effective fitness program. Equally important, CrossFit is a community of people who work together to achieve their fitness goals. Intensity and community are what make CrossFit effective.
