FAQS

What is CrossFit?

Crossfit is a fitness regimen that was created in the U.S by coach Greg Glassman. CrossFit is described as "Increased work capacity across broad time and modal domains" The CrossFit program allows us to optimise our fitness by performing constantly varied, functional movements executed at high intensity, which includes elements of Weightlifting, Gymnastics, Powerlifting, rowing, kettlebells, body weight movements and much much more  . The program we follow looks to improve the ten key physical skills: 
1. Power
2.Strength
3.Flexibility 
4. Stamina
5.Endurance
6. Co-ordination
7. Agility
8.Speed 

9.Accuracy

10. Balance

At its core, Crossfit is concerned with improving an individuals general physical preparedness (GPP). An ability to take on unknown and unknowable tasks safely and efficiently. 

Do I have to be fit to start CrossFit?
In short, no. All you require is a positive attitude and the willingness to work hard and follow coaches instructions. Everything from weights, repetitions, distances, duration and intensity can be adapted to suit any individual or level of fitness. 

Whats an Intro Course? and why do I need to do one to start? 
We ask that all new members with little or no CrossFit experience complete an Intro Course. Our Intro Course is designed to take you through all of the fundamental movements we do in CrossFit, so that you can learn how and why we do things and also to teach you how to perform these moments safely. An Intro Course will be required at any reputable CrossFit or Functional Fitness gym worldwide.  At OzBox we feel this is a safe and responsible way of looking after the health, wellbeing and athletic potential of new members.
