Crossfit Philippines 

 

 

When In Manila and looking to get in shape like never before, then cross fitness is the new way to go! I was more than excited to check out this event put together by Reebok and man did I learn a lot of cool new things!

Apparently, crossfit is being considered the “Sport of Fitness” as it’s a type of workout that really challenges your whole body like never before. First of all, only certified Crossfit trainers can set up their own gyms, or “box” as they call it. Secondly, the really cool thing about doing crossfit is that the exercise routine changes EVERYDAY.

 

You heard it right. Every time you go back to the gym, there will be a new routine for you to conquer! Pretty cool huh! Even cooler is how top gyms from all over the world have created permanent sets, named after girls, and they post their scores for the world to see and you can sort of challenge yourself to do one of these sets.

CrossFit is a strength and conditioning program designed to help people gain a broad and general fitness. Designed to prepare people for any physical challenge, CrossFit programming concentrates on constantly varied functional movements performed at high intensity to achieve overall physical fitness.

 

All workouts are scalable to any fitness level, age or experience. Training can be done anywhere – in a garage, at home, in a park, or a school – but is often done at a local CrossFit affiliate’s gym, called a “box.”, Every day, CrossFitters complete a “Workout of the Day” (or WOD) and post their results online or on the whiteboard in their box. The WOD gives CrossFitters a unique opportunity to compete, track their progress, share experiences and achieve their own goals.

CrossFit is as much a fitness-inspired lifestyle as it is a strength and conditioning program, and the tight-knit CrossFit community is an essential factor in contributing to the success of the CrossFit program. Working hard, sharing the experience with others while striving towards a common goal, and being able to compete against yourself, the clock, and your fellow CrossFitters provides the same motivation found in many sports, and is one reason why CrossFit is called The Sport of FitnessÔ.

 

CrossFit encourages people to work on their weaknesses as well as their strengths every time they are in the gym. Learning new skills, achieving personal records, tapping into the competitive drive and empowering men and women of all ages is what happens on a daily basis in a CrossFit box.

Outside of the box, CrossFit supports a balanced, moderate diet to optimize fitness performance, health and wellness, since proper nutrition is a key foundation for fitness.

 

To date, there are more than 2,700 CrossFit affiliates in more than 57 countries around the world, including the first Reebok|CrossFit box, which opened at Reebok World Headquarters in Canton, Massachusetts in September 2010.

 

I’ll be sending a WhenInManila.com writer to try out one of the gyms here in the Philippines soon and we’ll get you the full scoop then! But here’s a little more info below:
