What Is CrossFit ?

Started as a maverick gym in Santa Cruz, CrossFit has spread worldwide, becoming the principal strength & conditioning program for police academies and tactical op's teams, military special operations units, champion martial artists, & hundreds of other elite and professional athletes worldwide. Why? Because CrossFit works...FAST.

CrossFit delivers a fitness that is, by design, broad, general, and inclusive. CrossFit's specialty is not specializing. Daily life, like many sports and professions, (and even combat) requires broad levels of fitness. CrossFit's program is designed for universal scalability making it the perfect application for any committed individual regardless of experience. The needs of Olympic athletes and our grandparents differ by degree not kind.

Our Method:

We train exclusively using methods and principles of CrossFit. The workouts are functional, varied and intense, but scalable to any ability level. Results are dramatic and rapid. We focus on improving the physical competence of our clients in each of the ten recognized fitness domains:

     1. Cardiovascular/Respiratory Endurance
         The ability of the body systems to gather, process and deliver oxygen.
     2. Stamina
        
    The ability of the body systems to process, deliver, store and utilize
         energy.
     3. Strength
        
    The ability of a muscular unit, or a combination of muscular units, to apply
         force.
     4. Flexibility
        
    The ability to maximize the range of motion at a given joint.
     5. Power
        
    The ability of a muscular unit, or combination of muscular units, to apply
         maximum force in minimum time.
     6. Speed
        
    The ability to minimize the time cycle of a repeated movement.
     7. Coordination
        
    The ability to combine several distinct movement patterns into a singular
         distinct movement.
     8. Agility
        
    The ability to minimize transition time from one movement pattern to
         another.
     9. Balance
        
    The ability to control the placement of the bodies center of gravity in
         relation to its support base.
    10. Accuracy
        
    The ability to control movement in a given direction or at a given
         intensity.

     

    The beauty of this list is that it touches upon all the characteristics that an athlete, tactical operator, mother, father, etc., needs if they are going to thrive in the world. Throughout the course of the day/week/life each of us will touch upon these. Our quality of life will be defined by how well we can meet (or exceed) these requirements.
