What is CrossFit?
CrossFit is more than just a fitness regimen. CrossFit is a lifestyle that challenges participants to the core. Focused on strengthening and conditioning the body, CrossFit combines varied functional movements performed and executed at high intensity. The program is not a short term practice, but rather an overall fitness program that requires long term commitment and dedication. CrossFit was started in 2000 by Greg Glassman and Lauren Jenai: two physical fitness trainers who envisioned a regimen that mimicked real-life activities. There are numerous routines that fall under the CrossFit umbrella. The routines largely consist of weightlifting and weight training, gymnastics and metabolic conditioning.
