If you’ve ever wondered what CrossFit actually is or what our workouts look like at Breathe CrossFit, this guide breaks it all down.
What is CrossFit?
CrossFit is defined as:
Constantly varied functional movement executed at high intensity.
Let’s break that down:
- ✅ Constantly Varied: Every workout is different to keep your body adapting.
- ✅ Functional Movements: Think squats, pulls, presses, running, jumping—movements that prepare you for real life.
- ✅ High Intensity: This doesn’t mean “all-out” every day; it means working at a challenging, sustainable pace for your level.
What Does a Typical Class Look Like?
Most classes have two parts:
1️⃣ Strength Piece – Focused on building strength with squats, presses, deadlifts, or Olympic lifts, with plenty of rest between sets.
2️⃣ Metcon (Metabolic Conditioning) – Combining cardio and strength into a high-intensity workout.
What’s the Philosophy Behind CrossFit?
CrossFit is built on The 100 Words of Fitness, a simple guide to eating, training, and living well.
💬 “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.”
The variety, functional movements, and intensity combined with smart nutrition is what gets results—whether your goal is fat loss, strength, or better overall health.
Why CrossFit Works
Workouts are never the same, so you never plateau.
Functional movements translate to real-life strength.
You get stronger, faster, and fitter all at once!
