CrossFit is the fastest growing strength and conditioning program on the health and fitness market. There are currently over 2500 gyms worldwide that offer intensive functional training and this number is rapidly growing. It is a vigorous workout that has elements of weight training, aerobics and gymnastics and is used by professionals in the civil service, for example, Police, Fire and Military personnel. With so many advocates what are the 5 benefits of CrossFit training?

1. Variety

• CrossFit routines are continually changing to improve strength and fitness in less time.
• Our speciality is not specializing says CrossFit founder and former gymnast Greg Glassman.
• Variety keeps the workout interesting and decreases boredom.
• Variety maintains the challenge making it fun.
• Your body will not plateau from repetition.

2. All round fitness

CrossFit prepares the body for all activities and sports by balancing 10 fitness categories:

• Heart and lung endurance
• Stamina
• Strength
• Flexibility
• Power
• Speed
• Coordination
• Agility
• Balance
• Accuracy

3. Great results in a short time crossfit training

• CrossFit training requires you to workout 3-5 days per week.

5. Can be done alone or with others

• Because CrossFit equipment is fairly inexpensive many people are setting up that kind of gyms in their own homes/garages. To practice CrossFit alone requires a good level of fitness to start with and also knowledge of how to perform the moves safely.
• Group workouts (at a CrossFit affiliate) are led by certified instructors trained to teach, motivate and modify the class around you. Being in a class setting with others will encourage you and help you push yourself harder than you would do alone.
