CrossFit is a fitness program developed by Coach Greg Glassman which was designed to improve general health and athletic performance for anyone at any level.
It is an ideal training regime for anyone who wants to get fitter and stronger. CrossFit training methodology includes weightlifting technique, gymnastics skills, metabolic conditioning as well as strength training. We use functional movements that strengthen the core.
Our gym is equipped with kettlebells, medicine balls, barbells, jump ropes and pull-up bars. We go back to basics and work with functional movements. The exercises that we do are the same movements that you use during your daily life. In other words, movements that are useful to you as a human being.
By offering a constantly varied program, you will never get bored in our classes. We offer a different workout every day, in which we vary in exercises, repetitions, weights and duration. This makes our training program not only super fun but also challenging.
We use workouts with functional movements, constantly varied executed with high intensity, to achieve the results you are looking for. Intensity is a shortcut to results, and every workout can be adjusted to your fitness level. Young or old, everyone works towards the same goal, to become stronger and fitter.
With our program you work on improving the ten physical properties of fitness: cardio respiratory endurance, stamina, strength, flexibility, power, speed, coordination, agility, balance and accuracy. With this we prepare you for every physical challenge in life.
World-Class Fitness in 100 words:
“Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and no sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise but not body fat. Practice and train major lifts: Deadlift, clean, squat, presses, C&J, and snatch. Similarly, master the basics of gymnastics: pull-ups, dips, rope climb, push-ups, sit-ups, presses to handstand, pirouettes, flips, splits, and holds. Bike, run, swim, row, etc, hard and fast. Five or six days per week mix these elements in as many combinations and patterns as creativity will allow. Routine is the enemy. Keep workouts short and intense. Regularly learn and play new sports.” – Greg Glassman
EXTRA CONDITIONING CLASS 🔥
To help you take your cardiovascular endurance to the next level, we’re expanding our conditioning offering. In addition to our succesfull Friday Conditioning class, we’re adding a brand new session on Wednesdays, focused on VO2 Max & Threshold training.
Both classes are designed to improve your aerobic capacity, stamina, and overall fitness—perfect whether you’re training for a specific event or just want to push your limits.
Conditioning | VO2 Max & Threshold
Wednesdays at 8 PM
This new class targets two essential endurance systems: VO2 max (your body’s ability to use oxygen) and threshold (your ability to hold a hard pace). Together, they’re key to improving performance and building a solid aerobic engine.
Led by Coach Steve—a seasoned trail runner with multiple ultra marathons under his belt—each session starts with a clear explanation. Steve trains alongside you, but he’s always open to questions.
Conditioning
Fridays at 5 PM
This class focuses on longer efforts and higher volume. Less skill, more grind. It’s ideal for HYROX athletes, obstacle racers, trail runners, or anyone wanting a tough conditioning workout to cap off the week.
Also coached by Steve, who brings his deep experience and energy to every session. He is excited to help you with everything you need to prepare for an event.
Both classes are open to all levels. Join us and start building serious endurance.
