What is CrossFit?

CrossFit is a back-to-basics strength and conditioning program. A program that delivers a fitness that is, by design, broad, general and all-inclusive. It combines constant variation, intensity, and functional movements in Workouts of the Day (WODs) to produce dramatic changes in strength, stamina, and body shape. We don’t use isolation machines or treadmills…we employ dumbbells, kettlebells, barbells, olympic lifting, pull up bars, joint mobility, tires, running, complex conditioning, agility drills, plyometrics, rowing, and just about anything else that will increase strength and freedom in your everyday movements. CrossFit movements are functional and based on the natural movements of human beings.

We focus our clients on optimizing physical competence in each of 10 recognized fitness domains:

1. Endurance
2. Stamina
3. Strength
4. Flexibility
5. Power
6. Speed
7. Coordination
8. Agility
9. Balance
10. Accuracy

“That’s great and all…but can I do it? Is CrossFit for me? It looks really hard!” YES! It is for you and you can do it! The CrossFit program is designed for universal scalability making it the perfect fitness program for any individual regardless of experience.

WHAT IS CROSSFIT FOOTBALL?

It is a strength and conditioning program designed for football players and participants in contact sports, and is an excellent fitness program for anyone wanting to get the benefits of training like an athlete.

We use organic functional movements performed at high intensity to simulate the demands placed on an athlete during a football game. Football is a game of seconds and inches. CrossFit Football knows the demands placed on players during the game and the distances they will have to travel. With this in mind, we can replicate the stresses and situations a player will face on the field. By combining high intensity movements with a comprehensive strength and speed program, the result is a training program that is unparalleled in the industry.

How do we know CrossFit Football’s programming works? Because it has been designed by NFL players and some of the top coaches in the world. Not only has it been created by top athletes, but it has been used to compete at the highest levels of professional sports. The utility of this program is not theoretical; it has not been designed by someone that thinks it might work, but by athletes and coaches that have dominated at the highest levels of competitive athletics.

The CrossFit Football program is designed to work for all players regardless of age or experience. The loads, distances, times, intensity, and programming can be scaled, and the program has been designed to meet the needs of athletes at all levels of training advancement.

Every football player needs to be strong in mind, heart and body. He needs to be fast and explosive. He needs to be able to perform when tired and exhausted. This applies to NFL players the same as it applies to Pop Warner.

CrossFit Football meets these needs, for all players.

CrossFit is best explained through the actual experience of it so come and participate in a W.O.D. and accomplish what you previously thought was impossible!
