What is Crossfit

CrossFit is elite fitness for everyone. Our athletes range from 20- 65 years old and do all sorts of different work in law, film, finance, journalism, medical, being an awesome mom, university student, and business. Our classes and private coaching are based on the CrossFit philosophy originally developed by Greg Glassman after his many years of watching, working with, and coaching all types of people – from those merely interested in general fitness to elite athletes.

CrossFit workouts are comprised of constantly varied functional movements (like pushing, pulling, squatting, lifting, running) executed at high intensity. The workouts themselves are completely scalable, which means that a new participant and a CrossFit veteran can complete the same workout with changes in load and intensity. CrossFit workouts will help you get fit and add to any sport-specific training regime.

Is CrossFit Right for Me?

If you are someone who:

  • Is looking to get in shape but can’t face going to a gym;
  • Has lost interest in your gym routine;
  • Thinks you don’t have time to exercise;
  • Is looking to get faster or stronger in your sport, OR
  • Is no longer seeing results with your current training regime;

Then CrossFit is for YOU. Our classes take place in downtown Vancouver, close to BC Place and Yaletown. Every workout is different, and since you will rarely do the same thing twice, you are less likely to lose interest or get bored than if you were doing the same circuits at the gym three days a week. Because our workouts are rarely more than 45 minutes long they can fit into even the busiest schedules. Perhaps most importantly, since we opened our doors in November 2008, our athletes have seen dramatic changes in their speed, strength, performance, and body composition.
