The aim of CrossFit is to forge a broad, general and inclusive fitness. We have sought to build a program that will best prepare trainees for any physical contingency — not only for the unknown, but for the unknowable. After looking at all sport and physical tasks collectively, we asked what physical skills and adaptations would most universally lend themselves to performance advantage. Capacity culled from the intersection of all sports demands would quite logically lend itself well to all sport. In sum, our specialty is not specializing. CrossFit is many things. Primarily, it’s a fitness regimen developed by Coach Greg Glassman over several decades. He was the first person in history to define fitness in a meaningful, measurable way (increased work capacity across broad time and modal domains). CrossFit itself is defined as that which optimizes fitness (constantly varied functional movements performed at relatively high intensity). CrossFit is also the community that spontaneously arises when people do these workouts together. In fact, the communal aspect of CrossFit is a key component of why it’s so effective. Today, CrossFit, the company, provides accredited training seminars throughout the world. We publish several websites providing extensive free content, including workouts, training and support for becoming fit, as well as a growing Journal of extended instruction. We have a worldwide network of more than 5,500 affiliated gyms and more than 35,000 accredited CrossFit Level 1 trainers. And, we have created the Sport of Fitness, known as the CrossFit Games, where we crown the Fittest Man and Woman on Earth. In 2003, we started a “new” blog that would spur a revolution in the fitness industry. The contents were simple: the date, a picture, the Workout of the Day (WOD), and usually some provocative nugget of information. Check out our first full month of posts back in May 2003. Anyone with an Internet connection and the willingness, curiosity and bravery to try it, could. From this simple blog and a single gym in Santa Cruz, Calif., there sprung an immense community of fitness enthusiasts who have learned the movements, tested the theory and accumulated a huge amount of data supporting Glassman’s equation:

Member testimony from Kayla:

I was missing the competitiveness I used to have playing sports, and found that in CrossFit. I was really scared to start, but after the first week I fell in love and go almost everyday. The part I love the most about CrossFit is you can do any workout, everything can be scaled to your level so you never have to feel like you can’t do it.

🇺🇸 USA! USA! USA! 🇺🇸
Bringing home the GOLD for both Women’s & Men’s Hockey One Nation!

Now let’s bring that same energy to Friday Night Lights 🔥

Here’s what to expect:

• Doors open at 4:30pm
• Heats run every 30 minutes
• We’ll kick off with movement standards + group warm-up
• Then it’s time for Open Workout 26.1
• No strength portion this runs like a normal class

If you arrive 15 minutes late, you’ll need to wait for the next heat.
Doors roll down around 6:30pm.

We’ll have boxes/chairs set up so you can watch and cheer. A whiteboard will list heat times so you can rally behind your favorite member.

Afterwards, we’ll either hang at the gym and order food in or head to a nearby spot.

Let’s pack the house. Bring the noise. 🇺🇸🔥

We are more than a gym. We are community, family, and friends. Congratulations to the newlyweds Caitie & Jake Docking

Member testimony from Amiya:

Why crossfit?? Hi I’m Amiya, I was a competitive gymnast for 15 years and loved the high intesity workouts but when that came to an end I completely lost my passion for working out. I tried traditional gyms and different classes but nothing seemed to spark that love again that I had for working out… until I made a call to Blackhorse and talked about coming to try out a class. Everyone was so welcoming and willing to help me understand exercises. Although I’ve only been a member for a few months, I can confidently say that it has changed my life in so many ways already, from pushing myself harder than I thought I could, to having an amazing community to turn to about anything. Whether you’ve never stepped foot into a gym or you’ve been working out your whole life BlackHorse could be the perfect fit for you!
