What is CrossFit?

 

CrossFit is essentially cardio, gymnastics and strength training rolled into one eclectic, efficient package. We perform pullups, pushups, handstands and box jumps.  We lift weights, swing kettlebells, climb ropes and throw medicine balls.  We run, row, jump rope and use gymnastics rings. We mix all of these elements together in challenging and creative ways so that you never get bored.     

Our coaches are responsible for ensuring that your workout is not easy nor impossible, that your form and range of motion are correct, that your speed and intensity are appropriate, that the exercises and weights are adjusted to your fitness level, and that you have a plan for long-term success.

By committing to our program, you will learn new skills, improve your nutrition habits, get stronger, feel and look better and improve your quality of life.

Don't Eat Soy!

"Excess intake of soy can have adverse hormonal effects involving the reproductive organs and the thyroid. Soy decreases testosterone so men may experience low libido and decreased sperm count. Women may experience an array of symptoms since the thyroid gland will also be affected. When there is too much soy in the system, a woman may complain of fatigue, low libido, heavy menstrual flow, cramping, infertility, depression, hair loss, dry skin and weight gain. It is the genistein that has been blamed for the "irreversible damage" to the enzyme that synthesizes thyroid hormone."

- Excerpt from "Risks and Benefits of Soy" via Charles Poliquin
