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.

Power Output = CrossFit

As you may have read before, your power output (or work done per given time) is directly proportional to your level of fitness. If you know your work and power output in a given workout, you've got a number from which you can compare your results to other people. Now there is an easy way to calculate this... with the Work and Power Output Calculator.

Check Out your Power Output using the link above on some of your most feared WOD's.

Power Output
"Fran" = 214.17 watts / 157.96 ft-lbs/sec
"Cindy" = 150.59 watts / 111.07 ft-lbs/sec
"Grace" = 252.52 watts / 186.25 ft-lbs/sec
"Cindy-Grace" = 164.85 watts / 121.59 ft-lbs/sec
