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.
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 cage fighters one month out from televised bouts. We scale load and intensity; we don’t change programs.
The needs of Olympic athletes and our grandparents differ by degree not kind. Our terrorist hunters, skiers, mountain bike riders and housewives have found their best fitness from the same regimen.
CrossFit is a program designed around constantly varied, functional movements, executed at high-intensity.
The reason for our variance in daily workouts ties directly to our goals at CrossFit: prepare the athlete for whatever, whenever. Every day at CrossFit Minneapolis is different, every day is a new task oriented adventure. You’ll be great at some, and struggle through others, but only by developing our athletic deficiencies can we truly become strong individuals.
Functional movement are embraced due to their organic nature – that is, we were designed to execute them. They are safe, natural, and carry worth outside of the gym. Most importantly, functional movements such as the squat, the dead-lift, the clean, the thruster, and the pull-up are unparalleled in their ability to elicit power. Don’t believe me? Come in and experience just how explosive these movements really are.
Finally, the desire to execute our workouts with intensity is where the magic happens. By ratcheting up the intensity, relative to one’s ability, we’ve found an exponential increase in power output, and overall efficacy. It might be a tough concept to wrap your head around in a paragraph, but stop in for a free consultation and introductory work out and experience just what it is we do.
Call, email, or just stop in to see firsthand what we do at CrossFit Minneapolis. If it’s not for you, no big deal. If you find that it is, you’ll be glad you gave it a try.
