2012 CrossFit Games Begin Feb. 22nd

CrossFit is defined as constantly varied, high intensity, functional movement. CrossFit provides a high-intensity, strength and conditioning program that focuses on all ten components of optimal physical fitness:

Cardiovascular/Respiratory Endurance – the ability of the body systems to gather, process, and transport oxygen
Stamina – the ability of the body to process, store, deliver, and utilize energy
Strength – the ability of a muscular unit, or combo of muscular units to apply force
Flexibility – the ability of maximizing range of motion at a given joint
Power – the ability of a muscular unit, or combo of muscular units to apply maximum force in minimum time
Speed – the ability to minimize the time cycle of a repeated movement
Agility – the ability to minimize transition time between one movement pattern to another
Coordination – the ability to combine several distinct movement patterns into a singular distinct movement
Balance – the ability to control the placement of the bodies center of gravity in relation to its support base
Accuracy – the ability to control movement in a given direction or at a given intensity

CrossFit is the principal strength and conditioning program for many police academies and tactical operations teams, military special operations units, champion martial artists, and hundreds of other elite and professional athletes worldwide.

Our program delivers a fitness that is, by design, broad, general, and inclusive. 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 terrorist hunters, skiers, mountain bike riders and housewives have found their best fitness from the same regimen.
