What Is CrossFit, Anyway?
CrossFit is a high-intensity fitness method that blends weightlifting, cardio, gymnastics, and functional movement. Workouts are constantly varied and typically done in group classes led by certified coaches who help tailor each session to your fitness level. It’s known for its community-driven atmosphere, mental toughness, and a push-you-out-of-your-comfort-zone kind of energy.
