An Introduction to CrossFit

CrossFit is a “minimalist program”.  This is reflected by the functionality and limited number of our exercises we perform, and the simplicity of the equipment we use compared to most commercial gyms. An Olympic weight set and a place to do pull-ups and dips is essential for CrossFit. Gymnastics rings and parallettes, plyometrics boxes, Dynamax medicine balls, dumbbells, kettlebells, climbing rope, and Concept II Rowers all play a part in our program.

The CrossFit program is designed for universal scalability, making it the perfect application for any committed individual regardless of experience. We’ve used our same routines for elderly individuals with heart disease and cage fighters one month out from a televised bout. We scale load and intensity; we don’t change programs.

CrossFit has been called “The Sport of Fitness” because it re-introduces personal athletic achievement and performance to training. The mindset at the start of each workout is to be stronger, move faster, more efficiently, with better form than ever. This is why even after years of training CrossFit style, scores and times in workouts continue to drop and athletes continue to improve. Its hard, fun, exciting, challenging and will push you to be your absolute best!

How Do I Know if CrossFit is Right For Me?

If you are someone who:

  • Is looking to get in shape but can’t face going to a typical gym
  • Has gotten bored with your gym routine
  • Thinks you don’t have time to exercise
  • Is looking to get faster or stronger in your sport
  • Is no longer seeing results with your current training regime, OR
  • Just straight up wants to look good naked

Then CrossFit Sausalito is for YOU. Every workout is different, and since you will rarely do the same thing twice, you are less likely to lose interest or get bored than if you were doing the same circuits at the gym three days a week. Because our workouts are rarely more than 40 minutes long they can fit into even the busiest schedule. Perhaps most importantly, since we opened our doors in February of 2010, our athletes have seen dramatic changes in their speed, strength, performance, and body composition.
