What is CrossFit?

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. Crossfit uses the same routines for elderly individuals with heart disease and cage fighters one month out from televised bouts. CrossFit scales loads and intensity; it doesn’t change programs. These routines are used in a class format, with all athletes working at the same time, motivating one another, to achieve the best performance possible.


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 regiment.


Thousands of athletes worldwide have followed the CrossFit workouts posted on the main page and distinguished themselves in combat, the streets, the ring, stadiums, gyms, and homes.


CrossFit is an infinitely scaleable program designed to help every individual achieve their highest ready state possible so that they are able to engage in anything that comes their way in a successful manner.
