We believe in general physical preparedness, to be ready for the unknown and unknowable, aka life and sports. The CrossFit stimulus of constantly varied high-intensity functional movement coupled with meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch, and no sugar—prepares you for the demands of a healthy, functional, independent life and provides an edge against chronic diseases and incapacity. This stimulus is elegant in the mathematical sense of being marked by simplicity and efficacy but simple does not mean easy. In a nutshell, our training philosophy includes balancing various elements in your life to put your health first.
