Become a CrossFit Athlete

Heavy barbell lifting.

Explosive box jumps.

Rope climbs like a boss.

These are some of the typical, in-your-face moves that CrossFit athletes face on a daily basis.

And we mean it when we say "athletes".

If you can swing 135 lbs or more up to your shoulders...

Bust out 3 sets of handstand push-ups...

And then finish it off with a 400m sprint...

You're gonna look like a frickin' athlete.

That doesn't mean building an athletic body that can lift, jump, and climb is going to be EASY.

Far from it.

That's we created this page - to give you stellar advice on how to beat any WOD that comes your way, and dominate the next box you enter.

On this page, you'll find some of the best resources and blog posts to crush fitness and bring out your inner athlete.
