What is CrossFit?

Ohs

CrossFit is a strength and conditioning program built of varied, if not randomized functional movements executed at high intensity.  There are three key components of that last sentence that need some explanation:

Varied -  Our program changes all the time.  We vary sets, reps, load, speed - everything.  Each workout is different and will challenge you in a new way.  This approach keeps you and your body guessing and certainly keeps things interesting.  We do occasionally repeat some 'benchmark' workouts to gauge our progress and set new goals.  

Functional -  There are no bicep curls in our gym!  Instead, you'll find deadlifts, squats, presses, pullups, dips and a plethora of other functional movements.  Our moves are unique in their ability to challenge the body and usually work move than one joint/muscle group at a time.  In short, these movements are hard and take some time to learn.  However, they are unique in their ability to produce results and that's why we use them. 

Intense -  In short, intensity is the key variable, if you're looking for results.  It doesn't matter what you want, be it bigger muscles, less body fat, more performance, etc.  All of our workouts will challenge you like none other.  However, intensity is an individual thing and what's intense for one person might be easy for someone else.  This is why all of our workouts are scalable and tailored to the individual.  

A typical class at CFDV starts with a 10-minute warmup.  Since many of our movements are complex and need regular practice, we spend the next 10-15 minutes on skill work.  After that, we hold the workout, which usually lasts between 15-30 minutes and is executed at high intensity.  Once the workout concludes, we have a short cooldown and stretch period.  

Contact us today to schedule a visit to our gym.  We are confident that no other strength and conditioning system produces the results that ours does.
