What is CrossFit?

CrossFit is a fitness and conditioning program developed through many years of watching, working with, and coaching all types of people – from those considered “normal and average”, to top athletes.  The theory – take what worked best from the sports and movements that create the most versatile athletes (gymnastics and weightlifting), and throw the rest out. Actually, the system really created itself – if a workout or an exercise proved functional and got great results (ie- challenged you to the bone), it stayed in the system. If not, well, you got the picture. CrossFit is what remains – bar none, the most effective fitness and conditioning system in the world!

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.

In implementation, CrossFit is, quite simply, a sport—the “sport of fitness.” We’ve learned that harnessing the natural camaraderie, competition, and fun of sport or game yields an intensity that cannot be matched by other means.

CrossFit is by design broad, general and inclusive. Its specialty is in not specializing, and its workouts elicit a maximal neuro-endocrine response from your body by taxing your body to its core with variety, intensity, and multiple joint, full body, functional movements.

Why CrossFit?  Results. Period.

About CrossFit Paragon

CrossFit Paragon was founded in June 2008.  After 20 years in the fitness industry, I continued to struggle with not only a way to quantify  substantial progress to my personal training clientele but I was also confronted with a constant battle to get them to work hard enough to make a difference.  The difference had to go beyond physical changes;  I had to make a difference in their outlook on life.

Then CrossFit!  The long and the short of it;  I sold all my globo-gym pin loaded machines, ellipticals, treadmills and embraced my new found passion with the organic simplicity of CrossFit.

This risk taught an extremely valuable lesson of trusting your heart in knowing what’s right.  There will always be people that tell you no so believe in yourself, stand strong and it will all come together.
