At ICWA, we believe everyone is an athlete, and all athletes need to train to improve or maintain optimal fitness. When you prefer training that affords the benefits of a community, workout variability, personal and interpersonal competition and push-you-to-your-limit challenge, then CrossFit may be the best training option for you. And ICWA is home to one of the best CrossFit boxes in town—Big Barn CrossFit.
CrossFit is Cross Training
When you choose CrossFit, you are choosing a training program designed to “improve fitness and health” across domains using functional movements. In other words, CrossFit will help you improve:
Improved fitness in these areas can enhance your sports performance as well as just make it easier to complete tasks in your daily life and avoid injuries.
CrossFit will not help you specialize. It is not a substitute for a sport-specific training program. However, it may be combined with a sport-specific training plan for best results.
CrossFit is Scalable Training
CrossFit’s founder designed this training system to be suitable for everyone, regardless of age, sex/gender or fitness level. Everyone can do CrossFit because the workouts involve functional movements performed at high intensity. Intensity is created by repetition and time limits, and these factors can be ramped up or down to suit your fitness level and prevent injury.
Is CrossFit the Training Program for You?
Anyone can do CrossFit, but whether or not CrossFit is your preferred training program is a personal decision. You can find out by taking an introductory class at Big Barn CrossFit for free! Our trainers will show you how to properly perform the movements that make up the foundation of every CrossFit workout. We will answer your questions and introduce you to the online resources that let you do CrossFit at home when you just can’t make it to the box.
