Crossfit is a broad topic and the best place to learn about it is at www.crossfit.com. 

We do not currently offer Crossfit classes, but we do offer Crossfit through the personal training program.  We have options for 2, 3, 4, or 5 days per week. 

CrossFit - why do we use it?

Crossfit is a strength and conditioning program that is based around frequently varied functional movements executed at a high intensity. The Crossfit program is extremely demanding but dramatic results come very quickly. You will see an almost immediate reduction in bodyfat levels, increases in cardio respiratory endurance, muscular endurance, strength, and lean body mass.

The Crossfit program was originated by trainer and coach Greg Glassman in Santa Cruz, CA and quickly grew in popularity among the military, law enforcement, and firefighting communities based on the tremendous increases in physical fitness that the program provides.

Unlike some Crossfit trainers, I do not use Crossfit programming for beginners.  It has been my experience that Crossfit works best for those who are already fairly fit.  Crossfit simply takes you from good fitness to GREAT fitness.  If you believe you might fit this category then give me a call. 

The workouts are short and intense, and mix a variety of training modalities from free weights, kettlebells, running, rowing, medicine balls, etc. All the workouts are different and you will never be bored. Once you have tried Crossfit you will never go back to anything else, guaranteed.

Here is Troy, performing a pretty decent clean and jerk.  A little early with his arm pull, but that’s okay. Troy competes in an over thirty basketball league and is an avid golfer and wakeboarder.  Olympic lifts like the C&J help develop explosive power, and teach total body coordination.
