About Us

Team break
We are not a typical gym - you will see this when you walk through our doors.

CrossFit is the principal strength and conditioning program for people of all shapes and sizes, from the highly specialized combat warrior to the grandmother trying to build enough strength to pick herself up after a fall. This is a fitness program that is, by design, broad, general and inclusive. We do not specialize. We generalize. Sports, combat, survival and life reward are just a few of the accomplished goals of our program. Our program utilizes the ten standards of fitness; cardiovascular/respiratory endurance, stamina, strength, flexibility, power, speed, coordination, agility, balance and accuracy. It's very hard exercise that works!

CrossFit provides individuals the opportunity to exceed their fitness expectations. This is delivered through expert coaching, high-quality equipment, convenient scheduling and exceptional exercise programs.

When a person exercises in a group, has fun and uses everyday functional movements; he or she is far more likely to exercise more often, eat better, have less injuries and lose weight while gaining muscle mass. Our program is provides all of the elements necessary for participants to achieve their fitness goals.

Give us six months and if you’re not blown away by your progress, then feel free to go back to the Globo-gym.

Our Difference

The difference between us and most other gyms and coaches is our dedication to overall health and fitness. We strive to provide the highest quality of training. You will see that the second you walk through the door. We have worked with the widest range of athletes and we don't believe the quality should differ between levels. We all deserve the same attention and service.
Athletes come to our gym to get an education of health and fitness. Our goal is not to hold your hand from class to class but rather to teach you how to become a better student-athlete. Progress is only limited by your desire and dedication to succeed and we are here to guide you along the way.


Mission

Lindsey Kelly-.(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)
Lindsey was first introduced to CrossFit in the Fall of 2010 by a co-worker
while living in Tucson, AZ. After completing four years of collegiate swimming at
an elite level, Lindsey was looking for a competitive, performance-based fitness
program to fill the void of competition and teamwork, and to aid in maintaining the
fitness she had acquired as a Division I swimmer.

Beginning with her freshman year at Lake Forest HS Lindsey’s team
placed in the IL State top three, placing 3rd, 2nd, and 1st for the first time
in school history with Lindsey contributing multiple state champion and All-
American honors, as part of a team whose Olympian coach promoted individual
growth that contributed and sacrificed for a team result. In addition, summer
coaching age group club swim teams partly inspired her to pursue a teaching
degree.
As a HS senior she was recruited to swim as a sprinter from one coast to another
but the University of Arizona seemed to be the best fit considering the head
coach fostered individual visions as well as a collaborative team vision.
Her collegiate career resulted in not only 3 personal national
championships, 3 broken American and NCAA records, but also a team, for
the first time in school history, placing 3rd, 2nd, and NCAA champions during
her four year involvement.
Lindsey maintained her passion for swimming by coaching with
dedication, passion, and responsibility, the renowned FORD Aquatics club
team while simultaneously pursuing her Elementary Education degree. Upon
graduating Lindsey was encouraged to train as a 2012 Olympic caliber Triathlete.
She chose not to proceed directly into a classroom due to the intense discipline
and commitment required for both paths, but soon found her true passion in
CrossFit. She continues as a committed, disciplined, and responsible individual
sharing the blessings she has historically chosen to nurture in her life while
helping other to strive for excellence. Lindsey continues to have a passion for
swimming, education and improving all around fitness and strongly believes
in the CrossFit system. She is looking forward to continuing her knowledge of
fitness and nutrition to thoroughly educate adults and children on the benefits of
CrossFit.
