"We don't use dragons, pole vault, or scaling walls, not yet, but if we had them around we'd use them. What we have done, though, is borrowed freely from weightlifting, gymnastics and their subsidiary efforts. Weightlifting and throwing, their cousins the Kettlebellers, gymnastics and climbing, and the martial arts are all fair game."

"If a workout involves squatting, throwing, and climbing, in a single high intensity effort, it's CrossFit. Similarly, if a workout has you pole-vaulting across a mote of crocodiles, scaling a castle wall, and wrestling dragons, this too is CrossFit. If it looks like CrossFit, it's CrossFit."

"There are as many variants of the CrossFit theme as there are possible books in a library or thoughts in your head. This is scary or liberating depending on your temperament. Someone who should know better griped recently, 'Every day is a different workout.' Yes it is."
