Welcome to Sport of Fitness - Personal Training and Nutrition Information  Sport of Fitness is a CrossFit affiliate founded in January 2009. The term "Sport of Fitness" was coined from the founder of CrossFit, Coach Greg Glassman, after discovering the competitiveness and intensity found in his athletes when performing the workout of the day.

When workouts resemble competitive events they become sport and no one wants to finish last in a race.  For this reason a person will push themselves to the limit each and every workout. Whether you're trying to beat the clock or someone else performing the same workout, it is this kind of intensity that produces favorable results in a short period of time.

CrossFit is a general strength and conditioning program based on high intensity functional movement.  To learn more about CrossFit click here.   

Quotes from athletes when asked how they felt during a CrossFit workout:

"I felt like I was dying, I've never felt more alive."

"I felt as if I were hanging by a thread."

"Every time I got one (rep), I suprised myself."

Fitness in 100 Words: Eat meats and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and no sugar.  Keep intake levels to support exercise but not body fat.  Practice and train major lifts: Deadlift, clean, squat, presses, C&J, and snatch.  Similarly, master the basics of gymnastics: pull-ups, dips, rope climb, push-ups, sit-ups, presses to handstand, pirouettes, flips, splits, and holds.  Bike, run, swim, row, etc, hard and fast.  Five or six days per week mix these elements in as many combinations and patterns as creativity will allow.  Routine is the enemy.  Keep workouts short and intense.  Regularly learn and play new sports. (CrossFit Journal, October 2002)

OurGoal: To train an athlete to achieve his or her desires, whether it be to live a longer and healthier life for their family or to compete and take first place in the CrossFit Games.  In the words of Coach Glassman, "The needs of olympic athletes and grandparents differ by degree not kind."

CrossFit is for everyone. The workouts are infinitely scalable.

"The place where this evaluation becomes substantially more complex is when one person tries to compare their level of fitness to another. Men, women and children have always competed and sought to establish hierarchies. We want to know where we stand relative to others. This inherent desire for comparison and human achievement is both necessary and sufficient for the birth of the sport of fitness."  (Tony Budding, Capacity, Standard, and Sport CrossFit Journal, June 2008)
