WHAT IS CROSSFIT?
The CrossFit Program was developed to enhance an individual’s competency at all physical tasks. Our athletes are trained to perform successfully at multiple, diverse, and randomized physical challenges. This fitness is demanded of military and police personnel, firefighters, and many sports requiring total or complete physical prowess. CrossFit has proven effective in these arenas.
Our athletes are trained to bike, run, swim, and row at short, middle, and long distances guaranteeing exposure and competency in each of the three main metabolic pathways.
CrossFit Higher Ground programming is designed to be measurable, observable and repeatable. Anyone and everyone from all ages and athletic abilities can be an athlete at CrossFit Higher Ground.
Our program is unique in its ability for all movements to be scalable. CrossFit is more than just a fitness program. It’s a LIFESTYLE.
Our training methods provide the most effective tools for you to excel in anything and everything you do inside and outside the box through the ten general physical skills.
