What is CrossFit?
For some it is a “killer workout,” a means of getting bigger or leaner, a way to get off the couch or simply a break from the mundane global gym routine. Whatever one’s definition may be, it goes far beyond “commonly varied functional movements performed at high intensity.” The term encapsulates and applies the spirit, passion, and strength of an individual derived from and spreading to all experiences of life. It is a union of the body and self, bringing awareness into a being so that they may live in the present moment spiritually, mentally, emotionally and physically balanced.
