We are not your typical gym. We are a training facility. We strive to break away from the current, flawed fitness model we see so prevalent in America. You won’t find mirrors, fancy equipment, and a juice bar. What you will find are all the tools necessary to build elite levels of fitness. In most gyms, these tools are relegated to a dark, dusty corner; at CrossFit Innovate barbells, dumbbells, rowers, kettlebells, wall balls, rings, pull-up bars, and other “basic“ and “old-school“ fitness implements are cherished above all else.

What is CrossFit?

Defined simply; constantly varied functional movement executed at high intensity.

Constantly varied: No recognizable routine or pattern to the order of training or the selection of movements. Why? To develop a body that is physically prepared for the unknown and unknowables of life, we must implement a training program the mirrors the goal. We view routine as the enemy and embrace randomness.

Functional movement: Movements that are inherent in nature. No one designed them. They are effective and, more importantly, efficient. They are safe, even at post maximal loads.

High intensity: This is relative to the individual and subjective. That is why we scale (reps, distance, time, load, etc.). To ensure that every individual doing the WOD is getting a high intensity workout, relative to their current level of work capacity and tolerance, using the same movements. We scale intensity, we don’t modify the routine.

What is the goal of CrossFit?

Increased work capacity across broad time and modal domains.

Work capacity: The ability to do work (force x distance). Therefore; increased work capacity obviously means the ability to do more work (more than you could before).

Broad time domain: In relation to work capacity, the ability to do more work no matter how long the duration…or the ability to do more work in a given amount of time.

Broad modal domain: In relation to work capacity, the ability to do more work no matter.
