Bridger CrossFit.

CrossFit is a strenBridger CrossFit Box Jumpsgth and conditioning program based on constantly varied functional movements executed at a high intensity.  (See also What Is CrossFit?

Break it down for me! 

Constantly varied is just that.  Every day, at Bridger CrossFit, we do something different.  Sure, we repeat workouts sometimes.  We'd have to, or else there would be no way to measure progress.  Constantly changing things up not only gets our athletes in fabulous shape, but it always keep 'em guessing and they never get bored.

Functional movements are movements found in everyday life.  They are safe, effective, efficient, and found in nature.  They utilize multiple joints and whole muscle groups.  An example would be the squat, which is a functional movement.  The hamstring curl and leg extension are not functional movements (and combined don't begin to approximate what a squat will do for you), because they are isolating one muscle. 

IMG_8964Functional movements are also extremely powerful.  For all you physics nerds out there, that means that they can move large loads long distances and quickly.  Power, baby!

Intensity is power.  The average power of your workout is exactly equal to its intensity.  Refer to the functional movements paragraph above.  Functional movements are powerful.  

Intensity is not always fun, but intensity is the single variable most closely associated with the greatest return for your investment, when it comes to health and fitness.  That is, short but intense workouts have a much greater positive impact on one's health and fitness than do longer bouts of moderate exercise, especially when looked at on a per-minute basis!

We understanPOD090606d that intensity is relative to the individual.  Each and every time you walk through our door, you will be trained at your ability level.  As you progress and your fitness level increases, the workouts will become more challenging, and ultimately the level of intensity is your responsibility.

 Okay, I get it now.  Tell me more about what you do at Bridger CrossFit.

We offer group classes, which are instructor-led.  In our group classes, the workout of the day (WOD) is scaled to the ability of each athlete, and everybody performs the same workout, or some version of it.  Additionally, we offer personal training for individuals who are not ready to jump into group classes, or who have additional needs or interests (such an endurance training, limited range of motion, etc).
