What is CrossFit?

Matthew Pierce

CrossFit is a strength and conditioning program aimed at creating proficiency in all of the 10 general physical skills flexibility, cardio respiratory endurance, stamina, speed, coordination, balance, accuracy, strength, agility, and power.  The program was developed by Coach Greg Glassman through many years of watching, working with and coaching all types of people – from those considered “normal and average” to top athletes. Coach Glassman’s idea- take what worked best from the sports and movements that create the most versatile athletes (gymnastics, weightlifting and metabolic conditioning) and throw out the rest.   If a workout or particular movement proved to be challenging, functional and effective, it stayed in the system.  If not, it was dropped. What remains is CrossFit- the most effective fitness and conditioning system in the world!
Since the CrossFit program is grounded in functional movements its great for anyone looking to see results!  Workouts are scaled by intensity, load, and repetitions to meet the needs of any individual and any fitness level.  At CrossFit Canton you'll find stay at home moms, grandmothers, executives, sale-persons, fitness beginners, and "average Joes".
Our workouts are quick, intense and built around exercises that are athletic in nature and mimic movements found in everyday life - pushing, pulling, running, throwing, jumping, dragging, lifting, carrying and so on.  We utilize medicine balls, kettlebell training, power lifting, Olympic lifting, pull up bars, rowing and numerous other physical activities that are functional and challenging.
Each class is led by a CrossFit certified Coach who will teach you how to perform exercises and movements safely and effectively while motivating and encouraging you to do your best!
