Our Classes
Training takes place in small groups. Group training offers a high level of personal attention with the addition of positive peer influence. Natural camaraderie, competition and fun of sport yield an intensity that is unparalleled and cannot be experienced in one-on-one training.
About CrossFit
In a nutshell, CrossFit is a fitness program developed for the real world. It is comprised of scalable, functional movements that are constantly varied and done at high intensity. What does that mean?
Functional movements - movements that we see in every day life. Getting up out of a chair is a squat. Picking up a bag of groceries or a child is a form of dead lift. Putting dishes away on an overhead shelf is a shoulder press. When we practice these movements, we develop strength and muscle recruitment patterns that help us perform every day activities with agility and ease.
Constantly varied - each day there is a prescribed WOD (workout of the Day). The workout might contain weightlifting movements, gymnastic movements such as pull-ups or ring dips, or traditional aerobic activities such as running, rowing or jumping rope. Some workouts are done for time, some for a score, and some for max weight lifted.
Life doesn’t come at us as “3 sets of 10″. Why should we exercise that way?
Intensity - one of the greatest benefits of CrossFit is its efficiency. Workouts rarely last more than 30 minutes. This means you can be in, warmed-up, worked-out, and out the door in an hour or less. This may sound impossible but the key is in the intensity, NOT the duration, of the workouts we do. You will accomplish more in a 10-15 minute CrossFit wod than you will in 30 minute run or bike ride.
Sound Intimidating? Not all of us are elite athletes. Many of us are not athletes at all! But we are human and therefore made of the same stuff. The exercises done at CFR can be scaled to challenge any level of fitness or age group from the chronic couch potato to the Olympic competitor to the retired senior, and anyone in between. The beauty of the program is that it can start wherever you are, and take you as far as you want to go. So what are you waiting for?
