CrossFit, Personal Training and Boot Camps
What is CrossFit? CrossFit Ancaster offer a “minimalist program” and this is reflected by the functionality and limited number of our exercises and the simplicity of the equipment we use compared to most commercial gyms. An Olympic weight set and a place to do pull-ups and dips is essential for CrossFit. Gymnastics rings and parallettes, plyometrics boxes, Dynamax medicine balls, dumbbells, kettlebells, climbing rope, and Concept II Rowers all play a part in our program.
Our program delivers a fitness that is, by design, broad, general, and inclusive. Our specialty is not specializing. Combat, survival, many sports, and life reward this kind of fitness and, on average, punish the specialist.
The CrossFit program is designed for universal scalability making it the perfect application for any committed individual regardless of experience. We’ve used our same routines for elderly individuals with heart disease and cage fighters one month out from televised bouts. We scale load and intensity; we don’t change programs.
This is how you get started in our program. CrossFit Fundamentals is a 4 week program designed to educate new participants in our CrossFit methods, how our programs work, and take people through the basics of the CrossFit exercises. This class prepares athletes for moving into group classes with a firm grasp of movements and intelligent substitutions for exercises that suit their specific needs.
