A REVOLUTION IN FITNESS
CrossFit was founded in 2001 and can be used to accomplish any goal, from improved health to better performance. CrossFit is so effective it may feel like magic, but in truth, it’s a formula — a formula that works. It’s the formula for everything we do, from forging elite fitness to preventing and reversing chronic disease. It’s the inputs that give us the outcomes, the results that have revolutionized an industry and changed millions of lives for the better.

WHO WE ARE: OUR COACHES AND COMMUNITY
CrossFit welcomes and unites people of all ages, abilities, and goals around a methodology that is accessible and effective for all. We train, persevere, and progress together. We build strong local communities that drive unparalleled progress and a deep sense of belonging. For the millions out there who have experienced the transformative power of our methodology and the unwavering support of our community, CrossFit is a match struck in the dark. And for the millions more who have yet to experience the magic of CrossFit, we invite you to join us.
WHAT WE DO AND WHY CROSSFIT IS FOR YOU
The CrossFit program drives unparalleled results. This means CrossFit actually makes people fit, and we make them fitter faster and more safely than any program out there. Our results are universal, predictable, and repeatable. Our methodology works for everyone, can be scaled for anyone, and continues to work long term. It’s not magic, it’s just what happens when you put in the work — results follow. And once you get a taste, you want more of it. It’s how we revolutionized an industry, and changed millions of lives — and will change many more.
CROSSFIT IS THE BEST WAY TO BE YOUR BEST
CrossFit workouts are challenging but worth the effort. And your effort is measurable and you’re going to share your results with visible scores on the whiteboard. This fosters accountability and courage. And because CrossFit workouts can be scaled for anyone — meaning we adjust our workouts by degree, not kind — everyone knows the challenge you’ve faced and you're respected and welcomed for your effort no matter who you are or where you land on the whiteboard. These are key ingredients that build genuine camaraderie.
“IF WE DO NOT KNOW IT WORKS, IF WE CANNOT PROVE IT BASED ON MEASURABLE, OBSERVABLE, AND REPEATABLE RESULTS, WE WILL NOT TRY TO SELL YOU ON IT. NO SNAKE OIL OR FITNESS HACKS HERE. MAKE THE CHOICE EACH DAY TO BE CONSISTENT WITH BOTH EXERCISE AND NUTRITION AND YOU WILL GET RESULTS.

EXPERIENCE THE MAGIC OF CROSSFIT
CONSTANTLY VARIED
CrossFit has some famous benchmark workouts, like Fran and Murph, that we repeat on occasion to see how our fitness has improved. But most of the time, you’ll see new workouts programmed every day: workouts with different movements, rep schemes, loads, and time domains. That doesn’t mean the workouts are random — CrossFit programming strategically varies the workout stimulus so you’re prepared for any and all physical tasks — but it does mean you’ll never get bored.
FUNCTIONAL MOVEMENT
Have you ever picked something up off the floor? Sat down in a chair and stood up again? Placed items up on a shelf? If so, you’ve performed deadlifts, squats, and shoulder presses. In CrossFit, we train these types of movements because they are the movements life demands — whether we practice them or not. They are essential to independent living. And when we use these movements to move large loads over long distances, quickly, we develop power, which in turn develops tremendous strength and body control.
HIGH INTENSITY
No matter what you’re looking for from your workouts — feeling better, looking better, sleeping better, being stronger — intensity is the most effective way to get you there. In CrossFit, we focus first on moving well with consistency, and then we work on increasing intensity. But a workout that’s intense for one person may not be for another. Intensity is relative, which means the goal is to work hard within the limits of your own physical and psychological capacity, because that’s where the results are. If you’re working hard, chances are you’re getting fitter.

“When I first walked into Crossfit Valley Center, I was a little intimidated. I was not a weight lifter, and as I looked around, I didn’t see the familiarity of the “gym” I was used to. I was just going to peek my head in and “check it out”. When I opened the door I was greeted by Coach Destiny and she invited me to try the “wod”. I hesitated but decided to give it a go. After this one “WOD” I could tell I was really going to like it here! Everyone was so friendly and positive. I took the on boarding training with Coach Erin and learned the basics of crossfit. After just 6 months, I am hooked! If you like working out with friends, you should definitely give it a try!”
— Erin Holtz
“I was on a mission to lose weight and I was very hesitant about doing crossfit as it seemed too intense for me. But after my friend lost about 70 pounds in 6 months I wanted to give it a shot. I signed up at CrossFit Valley Center and had my 1st 4 sessions with Erin. She put my mind at ease and was very professional. I started small with the sweat camp and destiny is a fantastic instructor. I love the atmosphere, every time I walk in I get a lot of hellos and good mornings from other members.”
