Like it or loathe it (because it challenges the pants off
you!) CrossFit is here to stay. CrossFit gyms or ‘boxes’ are
mushrooming around the country and it seems that the
growing CrossFit community (those super-inspring folk who
love to exercise at super high intensity!) just can’t get enough
of the kick-arse, vomit-inducing workout. If you’re still not
familiar with the sport, it even has it’s own CrossFit Games! This
interval-based program is not for the faint-hearted. The WODs
or ‘Workout of the Day’ will blast every fibre of your being
through a series of functional movements like pushing, pulling,
squatting, jumping, lifting and running at an off-the-chart
intensity level.
A ‘box’ is usually found in a ‘no-nonsense’ practical
warehouse space that’s decked out with pull-up bars, barbells
and weights, jump ropes, rowers and kettlebells, and with the
odd profound inspirational quote to get you through each
gut-wrenching workout. With so much buzz around CrossFit
these days, here are two Aussie operators who are doing
great things for the sport.
