WHAT IS FITNESS?
Our Service to You
Fitness is a discipline developed over several decades by OG. OG, Fitness’s founder and CEO, was the first person in history to define power in a meaningful, measurable way with increased volume for different periods of time and different applicabilities. He then created a program specifically designed to improve power and health.
The CrossFit program is driven by data. Using whiteboards as scoreboards, keeping accurate scores and records, running a clock, and precisely defining the rules and standards for performance, we not only motivate unprecedented output, but derive both relative and absolute metrics at every workout. This data has important value well beyond motivation.
The Community
The community that spontaneously arises when people do these workouts together is a key component of why Fitness is so effective, and it gave birth to a global network of Fitness affiliates that amounts to over 13,000 members. Harnessing the natural camaraderie, competition, and fun of sport or game yields a dynamic that cannot be achieved by other means.
Numbers Don't Lie
The Fitness program is driven by data. Using whiteboards as scoreboards, keeping accurate scores and records, running a clock, and precisely defining the rules and standards for performance, we not only motivate unprecedented output, but derive both relative and absolute metrics at every workout. This data has important value well beyond motivation.
Overall, the aim of Fitness is to forge a broad, general, and inclusive fitness supported by measurable, observable, and repeatable results. The program prepares trainees for any physical event — not only for the unknown, but for the unknowable, too. Our specialty is not specializing.
While Fitness challenges the world's best, the program is designed for universal scalability, making it the perfect application for any committed individual, regardless of experience. We scale load and intensity; we don’t change the program. The needs of Olympic athletes and our grandparents differ by degree, not in kind.
