What is CrossFit?

The CrossFit prescription is performing “functional movements that are constantly varied at high

intensity.” Our specialty is not specializing. CrossFit is not a specialized fitness program, but

a deliberate attempt to optimize physical competence in each of ten recognized fitness domains.

They are as follows:

• Cardiovascular and Respiratory Endurance

• Stamina

• Strength

• Flexibility

• Power

• Speed

• Coordination

• Agility

• Balance

• Accuracy

We strive to achieve competence in the above domains using weightlifting, running, and

gymnastics components.

Is CrossFit for me?

Yes. Whether you are a beginning exerciser or a highly-trained athlete, you will benefit from

CrossFit classes at CrossFit Towson. We have exceptionally qualified coaches on staff to assist

you with your workout. Any prescribed movement may be modified, or scaled, to suit the

athlete.

Each class here at CrossFit Towson consists of a strength or skill portion in which a coach

demonstrates the movement and personally assists the athletes in performing them. Then, the

class will execute the “workout of the day” or “WOD.” The WOD may be performed for time or

rounds/reps. Scores are kept on our community whiteboard.
