Before CrossFit came along, there wasn't a working definition of fitness. You could look the word up in a dictionary, but the definition is subjective and inapplicable. CrossFit defined fitness and established a program unique in its effectiveness and efficient in its delivery. CrossFit is a general physical preparedness program that has affiliates in every country throughout the world.
As affiliates, we are not required to follow rules handed down from CrossFit Inc. This means that each CrossFit gym has it's own unique style.
At CrossFit CWE, we bias slightly towards mobility, strength and skill development. Those two areas are where people need the most work. We have a deep belief in a fitness that lends itself generally well to any type of physical activity whether that be playing basketball or being a soldier on the battlefield. Running, lifting, jumping, pulling, pressing, squatting and the requisite mobility that goes along with those things are the fundamental aspects of what we do, and to be able to do them with a certain amount of intensity is not only normal for humans, but necessary to live life without unnecessary difficulties.
We strive for fitness, not wellness. Wellness is halfway in the coffin, and you want to be as far ahead of wellness as possible.
We put a lot of emphasis on the transferablility to everything outside the gym. We want you stronger, faster and leaner, and we want to change the way you move at everything. So when we teach you to deadlift, this should change the way you move furniture in your living room. When we teach you how to clean a barbell, this should help you get a fellow soldier off the ground and to safety on the battlefield. When we integrate nutrition into what we do, we end up with the perfect formula. If you want the freshest breath of air in your fitness and measurable results, you must come workout with us.
