What Is CrossFit?

Started as a maverick gym in Santa Cruz, CrossFit has spread worldwide, becoming the principal strength & conditioning program for police academies and tactical op's teams, military special operations units, champion martial artists, & hundreds of other elite and professional athletes worldwide. Why? Because CrossFit works...FAST.

CrossFit delivers a fitness that is, by design, broad, general, and inclusive. CrossFit's specialty is not specializing. Daily life, like many sports and professions, (and even combat) requires broad levels of fitness. CrossFit's program is designed for universal scalability making it the perfect application for any committed individual regardless of experience. The needs of Olympic athletes and our grandparents differ by degree not kind.

A hang power snatch starts with the bar in the snatch grip (arms wide enough so the bar is about where the top of your zipper usually is), standing up so the bar is 'hanging' from your arms.

Bend the knees, and stick your butt back allowing you to explosively jump and shrug, taking the bar to full lockout overhead. Ideally, the arms should not aid in the movement. Only the jump and shrug should bring the bar overhead.

The results from the gym:
