Sports vs. Life

Competitive athletes have specific skills and drills to help them get prepared for competitions. These drills mimic body movement, time duration and physical patterns that you would face during your event. The rules to the game are already set before the competition starts. You know exactly how far to run, how high to jump and when the event will start or end. These types of events require a very specific training called “Sports Specific” training.

What about real life? Do you know when a friend will ask you to help move? Can you predict when an emergency is going to happen?Life is unpredictable. We need to be ready for the unknown and unknowable. So how do you train for unexpected? It’s called CrossFit. The movements we practice at CrossFit I-5 involve your entire body. Routine is our enemy. We test the limits of fitness with high levels of intensity. We teaching our students how to efficiently move large loads, over long distances and do so very quickly.
