NW Crossfit

We have two private fitness facilities, Greenlake and Bellevue, that provide elite personal and group fitness coaching to individuals seeking to reach the peak of their fitness potential. Our programs are designed for universal scalability making it the perfect application for any committed individual, regardless of experience. Our belief is that through the CrossFit training method, optimal health and longevity can be achieved for anyone: students, housewives, athletes, seniors and the general fitness enthusiast. CrossFit is a core strength and conditioning program. It is a program designed to elicit as broad an adaptational response as possible. CrossFit is not a specialized fitness program but a deliberate attempt to optimize physical competence in each of the ten generally recognized physical skills which are cardiovascular and respiratory endurance, stamina, strength, flexibility, power, speed, coordination, agility, balance and accuracy. We only use functional exercises that are primal in nature. For instance, if we dropped you in a jungle for 6 months and had hidden cameras everywhere we would witness you performing the following movements in order to survive: crawling, walking, running, jumping, climbing, squatting, lunging, lifting, carrying, throwing, swinging and swimming. There may be sub elements of pushing, pulling, twisting etc., but mainly every movement you perform would be full body compound movements using the arms and legs through the core. Failure to perform any of these movements well would have a dramatic impact on your survival. Notice there are no bosus, swissballs or machines in the jungle, since recent evidence has shown that working out on unnatural objects only make you good at working out on unnatural objects. It is not practical in using them as a means to increase your effectiveness in the real world, unless of course you lived in an unstable rubber room.
