What is Crossfit?

Crossfit is an exercise methodology consisting of constantly varied, functional movements performed at high intensity with it's ultimate goal being the production of power. Crossfit is the most effective fitness program. No matter what your age or ability level, you will benefit. Not only will you see physical changes, you will acquire an increased mental toughness by completing these workouts consistently. You will set and achieve goals you never imagined....Yes, you can do 30 pullups straight!

Crossfit is demanding. Crossfit is mean. Crossfit does not apologize when you are lying on your back staring at the ceiling after a WOD.

If you have any desire to improve your physical body, whether it be for basic health or for elite athletic performance, Crossfit delivers.

Back to the basics...

Now the real Crossfit has begun. Until now, TowerGym has been an amateur Crossfit club......no longer. Crossfit 101 class started Monday night. We will begin by learning the 9 foundational movements of Crossfit, then moving on to the pull up, muscle up and snatch. From there we will move back to typical WOD's with the proper Crossfit prescribed programming.

Get ready boys and girls......now the real fun begins!
