What is Crossfit

Welcome to CrossFit CONNECTION.

Congratulations on taking this important step to becoming the fittest and healthiest you can be. CrossFit is the BEST fitness and health program. When coupled with proper nutrition Crossfit will get you in peak condition in a fraction of the time it takes with other programs.
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. It is also being implemented in nursing homes with the elderly…..if you fit somewhere in between it can probably help you.

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 professional athletes. We scale load and intensity; we don’t change programs.

The needs of Olympic athletes and our grandparents differ by degree not kind. Our soldiers, skiers, mountain bike riders and housewives have found their best fitness from the same regimen (Courtesy of CrossFit Inc.).

Crossfit was developed in Santa Cruz California by Greg Glassman in the Late 90′s. Greg’s mission was to develop a CODE for FITNESS via Clinical trial, i.e. measuring inputs and outputs. Much like the LINUX operating system was created out of a gift culture and is free for anyone to download, Crossfit is open source, there are no franchising fees, no gimics to sell and anyone can access this “code” via http://www.crossfit.com.
