Never heard of CrossFit before? Or maybe a friend won’t shut up about CrossFit? Don’t be intimidated by what you see on our blog. All exercises prescribed in the “Workout of the Day” (WOD) are adaptable (scalable) to suit your personal fitness and skill level, and will help you reach your fitness goals faster and more effectively than any other programme out there.
CrossFit Auckland Coaches are highly skilled at CrossFit methodology, exercise progressions and regressions, and group coaching. Clients of our daily WOD classes vary in age, fitness and exercise experience.
A video demonstrating the concept of ‘scalability’ is featured below. Every workout, and every exercise is adaptable. Everyone can CrossFit! And if you don’t believe us, almost every member of our club came to us never having done CrossFit before. Go ahead and read what they have to say here: CrossFit Auckland Testimonials.
And when you have time, you can read more about CrossFit training methodologies in this Free Issue of the CrossFit Journal.
Everyone Can CrossFit
Yes, CrossFit has a reputation for being for elite athletes. It has definitely made monsters out of ordinary people, no doubt.
But to say that CrossFit is only for the elite is to miss the point entirely.
It’s for people who’ve never gotten off their couch, too. It’s for young and old alike. It’s for heroes, soccer moms, and desk jockeys. It’s for the timid, the shy, and the brave.
All of us have a home in CrossFit Auckland. Stop wondering if you can, and know that achievement is as simple as trying…
CrossFit is for all of us.
Here’s a wonderful success story about a young women, Veronica Garza, who switched to a paleo/grain free diet to control auto-immune disease, combined with CrossFit training at G7 to achieve weight loss, improved mobility and strength. Watch her journey…
Benefits of CrossFit Workouts
CrossFit closely mimics day-to-day tasks improving your balance and coordination, which makes it truly functional and useful exercise. It exploits and develops the strength of your core muscles (stomach, hips and lower back) bringing more control and explosive power to your movements.
CrossFit “fitness” means you can expect improvement in 10 physical attributes. These are Cardiovascular/Respiratory Endurance, Stamina, Strength, Flexibility, Power, Speed, Co-ordination, Agility, Balance, and Accuracy.
CrossFit offers a powerful workout in less time; forcing the muscle groups to work together builds lean muscle and burns calories fast. Remember that these movements encourage the development of lean muscle, not size, and the more lean muscle you have, the more calories you’ll burn at rest and exercising – priceless in terms of losing fat.
We use a huge range of exercises and equipment which means variety and challenge, and less chance of your getting bored. You share the cost of a highly expert coach making superior training affordable. For the average price of one personal training session per week, you train 3+ times per week!
