CrossFit is a strength and conditioning program. The aim is to prepare you to deal with life's challenges, the 'Unknown or Unknowable' in CrossFit parlance. We will improve your Strength, Power, Speed, Stamina, Cardio Respiratory Endurance, Coordination, Agility, Balance, Accuracy and Flexibility. It is easy to see how the lack of any of those components of fitness could lead to injury or death under the wrong circumstances. These components of fitness also give you a yard stick to measure other approaches to fitness and wellbeing E.g. Is your current program addressing all these points or are you leaving a gaping hole in your capability? CrossFit has been adopted by the US Navy SEALs, Canadian Army, US Marines and is huge in the Special Forces community. These are groups and organisations with the resources to do back to back testing in tightly controlled groups of people. When organisations as resistant to change as the military take off in a different direction, you know that there is a good reason for it.

Our workouts are constantly varied, you will never do two days the same, two weeks the same or two months the same. This keeps things interesting and increases the impact of each workout as your body will not have conditioned itself to deal with the challenge. If your workout does not make you ache, it isn't driving your adaptation (E.g. you are not getting any fitter). CrossFit gives you maximum fitness for your time invested. Another advantage of having your workout written for you and not knowing what's coming is that you can't avoid the things you don't like doing. We find there are greater benefits addressing a weakness than polising a strength.
All of our workouts are high intensity which means you don't have to be working for hours to see amazing results. Typically, workouts are 5-25 minutes long with the rest of the hour taken up by strength, speed, agility, flexibility work. High intensity workouts combined with mobility work and nutritional advice will improve pretty much all of your health indicators. For example, we would expect to see body fat drop consistently, blood triglycerides drop to healthy levels, good/ bad cholesterol levels to head towards ideal. You get community at CrossFit Central London. No one trains in headphones, everyone knows everyone's name. People actually talk to each other. CrossFitters are a cool group of people to hang out with.
