Now the principal strength and conditioning program for many police and military organizations around the world, from the beginning the aim of CrossFit has been to forge a broad, general and inclusive fitness.  We use constantly varied, high intensity, functional movements incorporating gymnastics, weight lifting and aerobic conditioning.  The workouts are inherently safe due to the functional nature of them as apposed to people doing non-functional movements on ineffectual gym equipment used in conventional gyms. 

Our workouts are by design universally scalable making it perfect for any committed individual regardless of age or experience.  We have prescribed CrossFit workouts for both our surf club athletes and general population ages 15-70 with great success for all.  The secret is we train for functional movement as the needs of our surf club athletes and their grand parents differ by degree not kind.

CrossFit recognises 10 general physical skills to being physically fit. They are cardiovascular/respiratory endurance, stamina, speed, strength, flexibility, power, coordination, agility, balance and accuracy. You are as fit as you are competent with each of these 10 skills. At Crossfit we are always looking to improve each of these skills as combat survival, most sports and life in general reward people with these skills.

Please note that the CrossFit Journal is also available on line which is designed to support the CrossFit community with ongoing and continually updated training advice, theory and techniques.
