The Work out of the Day (WOD).   
  
We tailor the workout of the day to the individual by scaling the load, reps, as well as the exercises.  We do encourage 100% effort for every workout.  We start each work out with a specific warm up, most commonly referred to as "everyone else's workout."  Then we begin the prescribed WOD.

What are the CrossFit Games?

The CrossFit Games are the ultimate test of fitness. It's a grueling three-day competition in which the world's fittest athletes compete in a variety of workouts. What are the workouts? Each year they change, and the details of them are not announced until a couple days before the event. This year the final event wasn't announced until thirty seconds before "3-2-1-GO!" This means that all year long, the athletes are training for a competition whose format is 'unknown and unknowable' - one of the underpinnings of the CrossFit methodology.

Check out Operation Phoenix!
 
This extraordinary effort was initiated by CrossFit Founder Greg Glassman.  This CrossFit initiative aims to raise the necessary funds to equip the entire United States Marine Corps with functional fitness equipment to increase combat preparedness, reduce injury, and strengthen unit cohesion. This will be accomplished through non-profit sales, corporate sponsorships, and individual donations. Every penny raised will go directly to "America's Fighting Force," the USMC.
