Developed over a number of years by former
gymnast Greg Glassman, CrossFit is a unique
fitness regimen that combines weightlifting,
gymnastics, sprints, calisthenics and other
whole-body exercises like squatting, rowing,
and rope climbing.

3.  CrossFit workouts are short, highly
intense, and always changing. Unlike
other gyms that are filled with a variety
of cardio equipment and resistance
machines, CrossFit gyms consist of mostly
open space interspersed with weights,
medicine balls, and dumbbells on the
floor and climbing ropes and gymnastic
rings hanging from the ceiling.

4.  CrossFit has become an extremely popular
exercise program in recent years. Today,
the CrossFit company oversees a growing
network of over 5,500 affiliate gyms and
more than 35,000 accredited CrossFit
trainers in countries around the globe. The
company also recently launched the
annual CrossFit Games, which attracts more
and more competitors and spectators
annually.
