CrossFit Training in 100 Words
“Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and no sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise but not body fat. Practice and train major lifts: Deadlift, clean, squat, presses, C&J, and snatch. Similarly, master the basics of gymnastics: pull-ups, dips, rope climb, push-ups, sit-ups, presses to handstand, pirouettes, flips, splits, and holds. Bike, run, swim, row, etc, hard and fast. Five or six days per week mix these elements in as many combinations and patterns as creativity will allow. Routine is the enemy. Keep workouts short and intense. Regularly learn and play new sports.”
— Greg Glassman, CrossFit Founder
But, I’m sure you are looking for a more in depth look at what CrossFit is along with it’s methodologies and principles as well. So, let us elaborate…
Crossfit is:
- A fitness program that is supported by measurable, observable and repeatable facts.
- Empirically driven, clinically tested and community developed.
- A method to establish a hierarchy of effort and concern that builds as diet and nutrition, metabolic conditioning (cardio plus), gymnastics (bodyweight exercises), weightlifting, and sport.
- Much, much more!

The short answer is: it’s unlike anything else you’ve ever done! CrossFit has changed the way the world looks at Fitness. is a strength and conditioning program designed to improve the 10 physical characteristics/domains…
- Strength
- Power
- Cardio-respiratory endurance
- Stamina
- Speed
- Flexibility
- Agility
- Accuracy
- Balance
- Coordination
But, stopping there would be doing CrossFit a great disservice. So, be sure to check out the CrossFit Journal for more info. In the meantime, here is how CrossFit Turbocharged accomplishes much of what we say and more….
First, let me tell you what a typical CrossFit Class Is Like. Each class involves a complete warm-up, a skill practice (the learning a new lifting technique or body movement for example), the primary workout, and a cool down session that involves mobility/flexibility routines to ensure TOTAL Fitness.
Furthermore, each class is only one hour out of your day (some beginner classes even less). And, you don’t even need to train every day for optimal results. In fact, CrossFit training is not recommended to be done every day of the week.
More isn’t always better. You’ll gain more in this one hour session than the average person would in a 3 hour session at a “Globo Gym” (This the name we give to large, traditional health club chains).
Second, every session utilizes your entire body with a heavy emphasis on the core. The workouts are balanced to include strength and conditioning along with many other aspects of fitness. Every workout session is guided by one or more of our CrossFit trainers to ensure you will get the personal attention you need to ensure success.
Not only does this make CrossFit extremely efficient, but it lets your body burn fat and build muscle at the same time. This is not just “cardio” or just “strength training”. This is both and more.
You have a highly trained coach with you every step of the way (unlike a standard gym where you work out solo or have to pay a personal trainer who doesn’t know CrossFit’s revolutionary, empirically driven methods and principles) to make sure you are doing things correctly and safely. All while doing it with positive reinforcement and affirmations. Our trainers are here to help you, not scold you.
Third, there’s no need to mess with time-consuming workout plans. Everything is taken care of…you just show up ready to give it your best and everything else is taken care of. Your workouts are carefully programmed for to provide you with optimal performance and results.
You will not be using fancy machines that are ineffective, but rather anything from gymnast rings to Olympic Lifts to help you achieve optimal fitness results. Sounds crazy right? Keep in mind that almost all top athletes utilize Olympic Lifts to take their fitness level to new heights. There is a reason for that and we help you to understand why. You’ll realize just how enjoyable working out with these different tools can be.
Being functionally fit requires that you have a strong core. CrossFit’s “Core To Extremities” principle is a simple fact. Whole body movements all begin with core being engaged first. This is our power source and the energy is transferred to our extremities.
Fourth, we get you to dig deeper than ever before which is when results truly happen. Most results are nothing short of mind-blowing. You’ll literally watch your body transformation take place.
Finally, you have a great support network. Some of of the nicest people in the Cherry Hill, NJ area are right here at CrossFit Turbocharged. These training partners will hold you accountable and call you when you don’t show up or don’t give it your all. And, you’ll appreciate this and ultimately do the same in return.
And, while vanity is second to health and fitness to us, CrossFitters typically build the body of their dreams…faster than they ever thought possible. It happens organically through the CrossFit methods of training.
