CrossFit™ was developed by Greg Glassman. CrossFit™ defines fitness in a meaningful, measurable way: increased work capacity across broad time and modal domains. CrossFit™ is constantly varied functional movements performed at high intensity. All CrossFit™ workouts are based on functional movements, and these movements reflect the best aspects of gymnastics, weightlifting, running, rowing, and more. These are the core movements of life. They move the largest loads the longest distances, so they are ideal for maximizing the amount of work done in the shortest time. Intensity is essential for results and is measurable as work divided by time—or power. The more work you do in less time, or the higher the power output, the more intense the effort. By employing a constantly varied approach to training, functional movements and intensity lead to dramatic gains in fitness. At Crossfit Zion, we have successfully trained and helped thousands of professional athletes, teens, soccer moms, and more with their fitness journey for over 12 years.

CrossFit memberships are more expensive because they offer smaller class sizes (about 10 people), individual care, professional coaching, and a wide range of training possibilities. Unlike regular gyms, where many members don't show up, 65-80% of CrossFit members attend daily. The unique atmosphere, personalized attention, and variety of classes and events at Crossfit Zion contribute to the higher cost.

WOD is basically an abbreviation of Workout Of the Day. Each day there is a new workout, they are often posted online at the box´s website and of course written on the board when you come in to work out.

The first CrossFit class will be an introductory class where you are taught the right movements and will have to do some wod that beginners are able to do. You will learn some of the lingo. Don’t show up to a regular CrossFit class without having any experience in sports. The first class will be relatively hard but should not kill you.

CrossFit agrees with anyone, no one is too old or too out of shape or anything. You will improve your strength and stamina by doing CrossFit, no matter from where you start. The workouts are always varied so they keep being fun while still challenging. The coaches are well educated and will help guide you through every workout and issue that you could possibly have.

CrossFit stands out due to its variety and functional movements that engage multiple joints, unlike traditional bodybuilding. The workouts are constantly varied, ensuring you never get bored and are always prepared for the unknown. At Crossfit Zion, we offer diverse training options, including Crossfit, Barbell programs, Hypertrophy, and Athletic Training, tailored to fit your lifestyle.

You can measure your fitness progress through various metrics such as Cardio/Respiratory Endurance, Stamina, Strength, Flexibility, Power, Speed, Coordination, Agility, Balance, and Accuracy. These improvements make daily tasks easier, like walking up stairs or carrying groceries. For numerical tracking, consider stepping on a scale, taking progress pictures, or doing a body fat measurement.

No. the CrossFit community is there to cheer you on, if anyone is mocking people they might get kicked out. Crossfitters are all about support, in the box everyone there is on the same level. Train for yourself and on your level and get praised for what you accomplished.

No. You are never too old to try CrossFit. Just be careful to regard your age and background. If you are older than 40 and have never done any exercise in your life, then you should not compete with the 20-year-old. You can always show up and do you best, and even be better than some of the younger ones. Even if you are closer to 76 years than 40 you can still show up and I guarantee that every single person in the box will cheer you on.

You don’t need to be strong or fit at all, you get that by doing CrossFit. Many beginners can't lift the empty barbell at first. The coaches will help you decide what weights you should work with in the beginning.

It is always a possibility of getting hurt in any kind of sport. However, if you listen to your coach and follow the instructions you should be okay. Be careful to warm up every time and listen to you body. If you are too tired or your mind is not in the box, there is more risk of injury.

Most coaches ask in your first class if you have any injuries or any problems in your body before starting the workout. If you have back problems for example the coach will help you find a way to reduce the strain on your back with a scaling option.

Scaling in CrossFit means adjusting the intensity level to your level. If you are not that strong, scale by using a lighter weight. If you cannot do pull ups, get an elastic band or do a ring row instead. By being able to scale every exercise, CrossFit is something that every single person can do, at their level.
