ABOUT
BALLAST
CROSSFIT
Ballast CrossFit is much more than just fitness. We’re a unique, diverse, and hardworking family of striving athletes seeking to better ourselves mentally and physically through exercise, nutrition, and camaraderie.
WHAT IS CROSSFIT?
CrossFit is the principal strength and conditioning program for many police academies and tactical operations teams, military special operations units, champion martial artists, and hundreds of other elite and professional athletes worldwide.
Our program delivers a fitness that is, by design, broad, general, and inclusive. Our specialty is not specializing. Combat, survival, many sports, and life reward this kind of fitness and, on average, punish the specialist
The CrossFit program is designed for universal scalability making it the perfect application for any committed individual regardless of experience. We’ve used our same routines for elderly individuals with heart disease and cage fighters one month out from televised bouts. We scale load and intensity; we don’t change programs.
The needs of Olympic athletes and our grandparents differ by degree not kind. Our ancestral hunters and gatherers, modern-day athletes, and housewives have found their best fitness from the same regimen.
The CrossFit prescription is “constantly varied, high-intensity, functional movement.” No aspect of functional movements is more important than their capacity to move large loads over long distances, and to do so quickly. (Courtesy of CrossFit, Inc).
