What is CrossFit and why CF 584 of Burlington?

CrossFit by definition is “Constantly varied functional movements performed at high intensities over broad domains.” That’s nice! But what does that even mean? First off, the term functional fitness has become the go-to word for many boot camps and gyms that want to get people in the door. It’s no secret that many programs are using this to get great results. We use many different movements and exercises that fall into the functional fitness category. Between bodyweight, free weights, and odd objects, you will learn and experience some of the best functional fitness. Doing so at high intensities is where fitness comes in.

Fast? Yes! Intense? Yes! But, done so in a safe way. Which is much better regulated in a small group setting and not in a sea of people running and jumping around on the opposite side of the gym from the trainer. We are that resource YOU need to get the most out of your 1 hour a day in the gym. You may pay only $9.99 at other gyms, but what do you do there? What do you get out of it?  Getting the constantly varied workouts as opposed to the same 45 minutes of stations with 1 min. intervals and repeating rotations over and over again that get repetitive and only demands so much adaptation of your body. This is the classic CONDITIONING or the DEATH BY CARDIO idea. At CrossFit 584 we know that fitness is so much more.  Fitness is much more than just cardio or just strength. It’s the ability to overcome physical demands and adapt to the requirements of everyday life. From mowing the yard and gardening.To playing with the grandkids. Fitness effects everything we do on a daily basis.
