The CrossFit program is constantly varied, functional movements, performed at high intensities. It is a strength and conditioning program that covers all 3 metabolic systems and all 10 major aspects of fitness (namely; endurance, strength, speed, stamina, power, balance, coordination, accuracy, agility and flexibility).
Congratulations! The fact that you have found us means you are curious about one of the fastest growing fitness movements on Earth. It doesn’t matter what brought you here: a devoted friend’s persistence, a coach or doctor’s recommendation, or maybe inspiration from the latest Reebok commercial…regardless, welcome to CrossFit Southampton!
The very first thing you will discover is that CrossFit does not discriminate. Whether you are 50 years old, or have just completed your 50th marathon, are recovering from injury or healing a broken heart, whether walking the dog is the only exercise you’ve had in years, or you’re someone training for the Iditarod or a powerlifting meet…CrossFit will help you achieve your fitness goals.
One of the things that makes CrossFit so unique is our community of people from literally every walk of life: stay-at-home parents, elite athletes, students, CEOs, members of the armed services, firefighters, you name it. CrossFit bodies – our bodies – come in every imaginable size, shape and age; and yet, our workouts every day, are designed for anyone to do them.
Yes, anyone.
“Scalability” is a word that you will hear frequently here at CrossFit Southampton. During each class, everyone does the same workout, but that workout will always have several scaling options. This makes it possible for all of us – with our different body types, personal goals and levels of ability – to work alongside one another safely. We motivate one another, cheer one another on, and sometimes participate in some healthy competition. But, ultimately, every workout is yours alone. Your workout = your pace.
Why not come and try us out for Free!!
All workouts are scalable, in that no matter what your level of fitness or experience, whether you’re a professional athlete or exercise beginner, it is the perfect application for any committed individual. We scale the load and intensity, we don’t change programs. We all have the same relative body mechanics and what we do is move the body the way it should be. We change how difficult those movements are and not the movements themselves.
The training is designed to identify and automatically strengthen underdeveloped areas of your fitness, that in other programs or workouts don’t happen.
Below is a great video from a CrossFit affiliate in Cleveland that will give you a better understanding of who is benefiting & what you can expect when doing this training.
