Absolutely not. The purpose of CrossFit is to become healthier and fitter. Come in and start working toward your goals today with the best fitness program that exists and let us help you get there.

We recommend at least 4 days per week, ideally 2 days in a row with a rest day in between. The more consistent you are, the more results you will see.

Constantly varied workouts are a critical component of the CrossFit methodology. Doing different workouts every day prepares us to handle anything life throws at us, from the unknown to the unknowable. CrossFit’s specialty is not specializing. We want to be good at everything but not world-class at anything. We understand what our deadlift looks like if we can run a 4-minute mile and, conversely, what our mile time looks like if we can deadlift 800 lb. By nature, specializing in one area causes deficiencies in many other areas. We’d much rather have a 5-minute mile and 500-lb deadlift. CrossFit owns this middle ground of excellent capacity across the full spectrum of challenges.

Intensity is relative and is based on each individual's physical and psychological tolerances. Intensity is where the good stuff is that allows us to achieve our goals; it’s essential, however we all have unique tolerances. In CrossFit, our program differs by degree not by kind allowing you to train for physical dominance (a competitive athlete) or for physical competence (longevity of life). This is precisely why we scale workouts, in order to find the appropriate intensity for each individual.

Functional movements are “natural,” meaning they are not movement patterns used only at the gym. Rather, these movements are found everywhere in human behavior and arise spontaneously as a response to life. For example, getting up out of a chair requires an air squat; picking up groceries from the floor, a deadlift; getting a five-gallon water jug onto a table, a clean; placing items on a high shelf, a shoulder press. We also deem functional movements “essential.” These are the movements life demands — whether we practice them or not — which makes them essential to independent living. When we lose the ability to perform functional movements, we also lose the ability to live independently.
