Welcome! When you walk into a CrossFit gym, you never have to walk alone and unguided through a sea of bulky equipment and mind-numbing machinery. Instead, you’ll work with a coach and others like you who will help you move and feel better. When you walk into a CrossFit gym, you’ll get the sense that we’re in this together.
We want to fuel a revolution in fitness that advocates the pursuit of function, not form - that measures performance, not anatomy. We want rings and bumper plates in our gyms, not machines. We believe that where you train is less important than how you train and that who you train with matters more than what gear you have. We know this can be done in little boxes and we've proven that the garage is as good as an environment as any for forging elite fitness.
