What is CrossFit?
A simple explanation for beginners. It’s not just a workout, it’s a fitness revolution.
More than
just a gym
CrossFit is a strength and conditioning programme built on three key principles that guarantee results.
It isn’t about random workouts; it’s a deliberate training methodology aimed at forging broad, general, and inclusive fitness.
01 Constantly Varied
Workouts change every day so you never get bored and your body never adapts to just one routine.
02 Functional Movements
Natural movements like squatting, pushing, pulling, and lifting—movements you use in everyday life, performed safely.
03 Relative Intensity
Workouts are performed at an intensity that is appropriate for your fitness level. We scale the load, not the standard.
"Crucially, CrossFit is designed to be suitable for all ages and fitness levels. Whether you are a grandparent or an elite athlete, the needs differ by degree, not kind."
What does a class look like?
Every CrossFit Teesside class is led by an expert coach who guides you from start to finish. You are never left to figure it out on your own.
Warm-up
Specific movements to prepare your body and practice technique.
Skill/Strength
Focused periods to learn new mechanics or build raw strength safely.
The WOD
The 'Workout of the Day'. High intensity conditioning tailored to you.
Cool Down
Mobility and stretching to aid recovery and prevent injury.
Is CrossFit Safe?
Yes. Changes in fitness only happen with consistency, and you can’t be consistent if you are injured. That’s why safety is our primary focus.
Our coaches correct your form in every single class. We strictly follow the charter of
"Mechanics first, then consistency, and only then
intensity."
The Methodology
We don't specialise in just one thing. We build capacity across ten physical skills to prepare you for anything life throws at you.
