CrossFit is a strength and conditioning program that is based on constantly varied functional movements executed at a high intensity.
Our program delivers a fitness that is, by design, broad, general, and inclusive (see also What Is Fitness?). Our specialty is not specializing. Combat, survival, many sports, and life reward this kind of fitness and, on average, punish the specialist.
The CrossFit program is designed for universal scalability making it the perfect application for any committed individual regardless of experience. We’ve used our same routines for elderly individuals with heart disease and cage fighters one month out from televised bouts. We scale load and intensity; we don’t change programs.
The needs of Olympic athletes and our grandparents differ by degree not kind. Our hunters, skiers, mountain bike riders and housewives have found their best fitness from the same regimen.
The magic is in the movement, the art is in the programming, the science is in the explanation, and the fun is in the community.
