THE FIRST CROSSFIT
STANDARD OF FITNESS

There are ten recognised general physical skills. They are cardiovascular/respiratory endurance, stamina, strength, speed, flexibility, power, coordination, agility, balance, and accuracy.

You are as fit as you are competent in each of these ten skills. A regimen develops fitness to the extent that it improves each of these ten skills.
Importantly, improvements in endurance, stamina, strength, and flexibility come about through training.

THE SECOND CROSSFIT
STANDARD OF FITNESS

The essence of this model is the view that fitness is about performing well at any and every task imaginable. This model suggests that your fitness can be measured by your capacity to perform well at these tasks in relation to other individuals.

The implication here is that fitness requires an ability to perform well at all tasks, even unfamiliar tasks, tasks combined in infinitely varying combinations. In practice this encourages the athlete to disinvest in any set notions of sets, rest periods, reps, exercises, order of exercises, routines, periodization, etc.

THE THIRD CROSSFIT
STANDARD OF FITNESS

There are three metabolic pathways that provide the energy for all human action.

Total fitness, the fitness that CrossFit promotes and develops, requires competency and training in each of these three pathways or engines.

Balancing the effects of these three pathways largely determines the how and why of the metabolic conditioning or “cardio” that we do at CrossFit.

Favoring one or two to the exclusion of the others and not recognising the impact of excessive training in the oxidative pathway are arguably the two most common faults in fitness training.

The Next Fitness Intensive
Are you bored at the gym?

Let's face it, the gym is always the most exciting place to be and truth be told, more people don't get the results they desire. So, why waste your time at the gym?

The CrossFit Victoria Fitness Intensive is a structured, varied, scalable, intense series of group workouts held over a period of six weeks. It's held outdoors (although we have indoor facilities if it rains), no weight machines, no treadmills, no mirrors, just proven fitness training methods.

"It's better than going to a gym. Training with a group of people makes you push a bit harder." - Garry, East Melbourne

It's suitable for everyone, no matter the level of experience, physical condition or ability. We will scale the workouts so that you get the most benefit possible. We will have you doing things you didn't think you could and you will see results.

"I am doing 200% more exercise than I otherwise would and am pushing myself much harder as part of a group than I would just heading out solo or even with a friend." - Heather, South Yarra

The next intensive stars on May 7 and places are filling fast. Read on for more information or register now.
