What is CrossFit?

CrossFit is a workout method characterized by safe, effective exercise and sound nutrition. CrossFit can be used to accomplish any goal, from improved health to weight loss to better performance. The program works for everyone—people who are just starting out and people who have trained for years.

The magic is in the movements. Workouts are different every day and modified to help each athlete achieve his or her goals. CrossFit workouts can be adapted for people at any age and level of fitness.

Are all CrossFit gyms the same?

CrossFit isn't a franchise (like your local Pizza Hut); instead, it’s an affiliate. That means every box has its own individual programming and style. It’s not one-size-fits-all. CrossFit is a brand that allows each gym to create their own workouts, culture, and goals.

What KV’s CrossFit class is like

Kensington Valley’s CrossFit classes last an hour, broken down into four different components: a warm-up, strength or skill, workout of the day or WOD, and cool down or mobility session. We perform workouts at relative intensity at each individual’s pace. At Kensington Valley our workouts are prescribed at varying intensity levels with the majority at 85% percent intensity level. That means you leave feeling great and ready to tackle the day not dead and completely sore where you cannot function the rest of the day. That is what sets us apart from other facilities in the area. We have taken the approach of general fitness and health above all else. By focusing on science and effective mixture of intensity levels (heart rate training zones) we can complete a healthy well-rounded person.
