Weekend Workout Feb 9 & 10th, 4:00PM Gleason Park


CrossFit Oakland....
Lest you think CrossFit is only for bury thugs with bald heads and a propensity for grunting, one of our bedrock principals is universal scalability. Here Annie is in the top position of one of our foundational moves, the front squat. The bar setup she uses mimics the size and feel of Olympic bars and plates, but the whole assembly is a managable 35 pounds, and allows her to practice her form before moving on to heavier weights. The workouts can allways be scaled to accomodate the needs of any althlete (usually scaled down, but sometimes up).

"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 terrorist hunters, skiers, mountain bike riders and housewives have found their best fitness from the same regimen."

-Coach Gregg Glassman, founder of CrossFit
