What is CrossFit ?
CrossFit is constantly varied functional movement performed at high intensity. The movement change class after class.
Varied training
Every day we face all sorts of situations and we must be prepared for them.Functional Movement
The only thing is to reproduce and repeat day-to-day movement (like carrying your grocery, running to your job, filling the boot of your car …).High intensity
The intensity of the class is adapted to your level. If you want to improve though, if you do want to feel better, if you want to feel proud, you have to challenge yourself to get beyond your own limits.WOD
Warm-ups take approximately 20 minutes, skills training take 10 to 20 minutes, and the Workouts Of the Day take 10 to 30 minutes. A CrossFit session takes an hour and can fit any time schedule, even the busiest. No excuse. The variety of training is infinite. Every cycle is diffe-rent. You can’t get bored, and your body can’t get adapted to your routine. So we would be glad to say: ‘Don’t worry, you won’t get sore next time’, but that would be a lie.

3 points
Technique: you will learn the right moves & postures to begin with.
Rapidity: once you master the technique, your goal will be to perform the movement as fast as possible.
Length: now it’s time to perform a maximum of reps in a minimum of time. ‘More reps for bigger biceps‘.
The advantage of CrossFit
If you are too busy for training or hitting the gym, CrossFit is perfect for you as it does not take that much time and offers intense, short and effective training!
Who is it made for?
Contrary to what most people think, CrossFit is not only for an exclusive community of experienced athletes.
CrossFit is for all those who have already trained in their life… or have not. Weekend joggers, gym lovers, bar lifters, crazy cyclers…
All men, be they short, tall, muscular, strong, thin, fat, skinny… Those who feel well as well as those who would like to feel better.
Women can try it too, may they want to lose weight, to get strong, to sweat, to feel free, or just to have a moment for themselves alone.
Conclusion... Dare enter the BOX!
We swear once your warm-up is done, and after a few reps, push jerks, kettlebell liftings and WOD, you won’t be the same person anymore.
