CrossFit workouts are functional, varied and intense. The needs of Olympic athletes and the elderly differ only by the degree of weight for the workout not by the kind of workout. There is a unique social bond that forms when you join a CrossFit box. Everyone works together to accomplish pushing past their physical barriers helping each other every step along the way.
We have many people say that before they try CrossFit they need to get in shape first. This is absolute rubbish! No matter the shape you′re in you will be challenged. In fact many athletes have found that the more fit you become the tougher the workouts are. The reason behind this is simple. As a novice you are unsure of your limits. So the tendency is to stop short of full exhaustion. As you get faster and therefore fitter in the workouts you push that preconceived limit further and further until you are very near your actual tipping point This is where the “magic" of CrossFit training lies.
