WHAT IS CROSSFIT TRAINING

Crossfit Training is constantly varied functional movements performed at high intensity. All Crossfit Training workouts are based on functional movements, and these movements reflect the best aspects of gymnastics, weightlifting, running, rowing and more. Intensity is essential for results and is measurable as work divided by time — or power. The more work you do in less time, or the higher the power output, the more intense the effort. By employing a constantly varied approach to training, functional movements and intensity lead to dramatic gains in fitness.

Overall, the aim of Crossfit Training is to forge a broad, general and inclusive fitness supported by measurable, observable and repeatable results.

The program prepares trainees for any physical challenges.

Struggling to lose weight? High Intensity workout is for you. This will translate to a release of lactic acid and also a boost in your metabolic rate. You will be on calorie burning mode for 12 to 14 hours after your workout, depending on how intense it was.
