TOTAL ATHLETICS CROSSFIT

CrossFit. What is it?

Constantly varied functional movement performed at high intensity

  • Functional movements are movements you use almost every day. The movements can include hinging, pushing, pulling, bending, kneeling and so much more.

  • Movements in CrossFit can consist of Olympic lifting, gymnastics and cardio to help you find your healthiest self

  • Modifications (or as we say, scaling options) are always available. Bad knee preventing you from getting to the floor? Perfect, we can find a solution to ensure you are safe but still pushing yourself to achieve your goals.

  • Total Athletics CrossFit will not encourage poor movement patterns that could result in injury. We will correct, refine and give alternatives if necessary.

  • Small class sizes means the coach has the time to point out where your form is faltering, and how to better move your body.

  • Yes. Everyone can do CrossFit regardless of age, injuries and current fitness levels. The program is modified for each person to help him or her safely become healthier and fitter. Grandparents and Olympians can perform modified versions of the same general workout.

  • No matter what your current fitness level is, you can start CrossFit. Every workout is infinitely scalable, and designed to help you succeed, improve your fitness, and move you toward your goals.

  • Yes. CrossFit training is very safe, and sitting on your couch is actually incredibly dangerous. In CrossFit boxes, credentialed trainers provide precise instructions and coaching to help people move safely and efficiently, helping people avoid all the diseases that come from inactivity, obesity and poor nutrition.

  • CrossFit holds a uniquely elegant solution to the greatest problem facing the world today: chronic disease. The CrossFit program—constantly varied high-intensity functional movement coupled with meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch, and no sugar—can give you a pass on chronic disease. If you are not sick, know that fitness provides a great margin of protection against the ravages of time and disease. Fitness is and should be “super-wellness.” To improve or preserve your health, do CrossFit.

“CrossFit is hard. We aren’t going to sugarcoat it. But that’s what makes it so empowering. You will soon be able to do things you never thought you could do before. You will be able to flip onto your hands into a handstand, climb a rope, or even get your first pull-up one day.

But it doesn’t happen overnight.

Use your first class to get a taste of CrossFit, learn more about the affiliate, and have fun. You will learn more with time.”
