Benefits of training at Crossfit
Connection: In a regular big box gym, you’re generally walking around with headphones in, not really communicating with anyone. At Crossift, everyone is on the same page. Either they’re doing the exact same workout as you, or they’ve similar goals and mindset.
If you need some equipment, you’ve got it for as long as you need, since everyone at Crossfit understands the aims of the workouts. Plus, you’ll always have a motivational buddy or spotter during your workouts.
If you’re doing something “wrong”, other Crossfitters will point it out and offer advice. In a regular gym, it’s unfortunate that most people will just look on with some disdain.
Personal victories: In a regular gym, no one wants you to succeed. It’s not that they want you to fail, they just don’t care. In Crossfit, we’re looking for you to do your best and we’ll scream encouragement to help you get that last rep, beat your previous time, or finally get a muscle up!
Instruction and attention. Crossfit aims to educate you with every class, providing you with instruction on how to better utilise your body. The reasons for exercising, diet tips, motivation. Our aim is for you to leave every session at Crossfit eager to come back, more knowledgable, more enthusiastic about fitness and knowing you’re on the right track.
Increase Fitness: In gyms and health clubs throughout the world the typical workout consists of isolation movements and extended aerobic sessions. The fitness community from trainers to the magazines has the exercising public believing that lateral raises, curls, leg extensions, sit-ups and the like combined with20-40 minute stints on the stationary bike or treadmill are going to lead to some kind of great fitness. Well, at CrossFit we work exclusively with compound movements and shorter high intensity cardiovascular sessions. We’ve replaced the lateral raise with push- press, the curl with pull-ups, and the leg extension with squats. For every long distance effort our athletes will do fi ve or six at short distance. Why? Because compound or functional movements and high intensity or anaerobic cardio is radically more effective at eliciting nearly any desired fitness result.
