CrossFit is suitable for everyone, regardless of age or fitness level. Why?
\nBecause every movement we do during a class at CrossFit Affinity has options for all levels.
\nAll of our classes are fully coached, correct movement patterns are taught, to ensure effectiveness and minimise risk of injury. Our certified coaches ensure that every person in the class is working at the right level of intensity for them. This means every class is achievable but also challenging, so that you are working towards reaching your fitness goals.<\/p>\n
So what is CrossFit?<\/p>\n
Constantly varied functional movement at high intensity<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n CrossFit is the world’s most effective fitness program, and can be used to accomplish any goal, from improved health to better performance. The program works for everyone \u2014 people who have never worked out and those who have trained for years share equally in the benefits of CrossFit.<\/p>\n CrossFit is a core strength and conditioning program, the prescription being “constantly varied functional movements performed at high intensity”.<\/p>\n CrossFit is also a lifestyle, characterised by safe, effective exercise and sound nutrition. People who do CrossFit come in all shapes and sizes and all ages.\u00a0 CrossFit workouts are challenging, but are infinitely scalable.\u00a0 When you pair the fitness stimuli of these workouts with sound nutrition, you get a program that is more transformative than anything you’ll find elsewhere and when you join one of the thousands of independently owned CrossFit gyms around the world, you become part of a strong, supportive community ready to lift you up and celebrate your successes, great and small.<\/p>\n Constantly Varied<\/strong><\/p>\n You\u2019ll see new workouts programmed every day: workouts with different movements, rep schemes, loads, and time domains. That doesn\u2019t mean the workouts are random \u2014 CrossFit programming strategically varies the workout stimulus so you\u2019re prepared for any and all physical tasks.<\/p>\n Functional Movements<\/strong><\/p>\n Have you ever picked something up off the floor? Sat down in a chair and stood up again? Placed items up on a shelf? If so, you\u2019ve performed deadlifts, squats, and shoulder presses. In CrossFit, we train these types of movements because they are the movements life demands.<\/p>\n High Intensity<\/strong><\/p>\n In CrossFit, we focus first on moving well with consistency, and then we work on increasing intensity. But a workout that\u2019s intense for one person may not be for another. Intensity is relative, which means the goal is to work hard within the limits of your own physical and psychological capacity, because that\u2019s where the results are. If you\u2019re working hard, chances are you\u2019re getting fitter.<\/p>\n Nutrition<\/strong><\/p>\n Nutrition plays a critical role in your health and fitness.\u00a0 The CrossFit lifestyle promotes sound nutrition through simple guidelines – base your nutrition on lean proteins, vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch, and no sugar.\u00a0 Just eat real food, avoid processed foods, and you’ll see the benefits in your health and fitness.<\/p>\n Infinitely Scalable<\/strong><\/p>\n CrossFit is a broad, general and inclusive fitness program.\u00a0 The needs of a CrossFit games athlete and a grandparent differ by degree, not kind.\u00a0 In other words, CrossFit works for every body, and every movement and workout has scaling options.\u00a0 With appropriate scaling, anyone can make fitness gains by working at their relative level of physical and psychological tolerance.<\/p>\n Yes you can do CrossFit!<\/p>\n Want to learn more about CrossFit?
