Space is limited to 8 people in each of the 6am and 6pm classes. Sign up here!
A really nice article on CrossFit that is aimed at the CF curious. It presents what we do in a non scary, everyone-can-do-it light, which is correct.
CrossFit: Redefining Fitness Inside and Outside the Box
In almost every way, CrossFit has turned the conventional wisdom of fitness on its head. This is largely because the big picture in CrossFit is overall well-being, achieved through nutrition and fitness, coupled with a philosophy of incremental improvement and sense of community.
With its prescribed method of "constantly varied, high-intensity, functional movement", CrossFit's approach is not to specialize, but to improve each person's competency at all physical activities. This is achieved through carefully programmed Workouts of the Day or "WODs" that combine Olympic weightlifting, gymnastics (rings, pull-ups), and running, rowing, biking and swimming -- performed in a high intensity sprint that lasts anywhere from an excruciating five minutes to an agonizing 30 minutes. Especially grueling "Hero WODs" are held periodically to honor fallen heroes and remind CrossFitters to think beyond themselves.
