What is CrossFit?

“CrossFit is a strength and conditioning program built on constantly varied, if not randomised, functional movements executed at high intensity.

 - Founder Greg Glassman

The Aim of crossfit is to forge a broad, general and inclusive fitness to prepare everyone for not only the unknown but the unknowable, crossFit's speciality is in NOT specialising. Crossfit is the "Sport of Fitness"
