“Crossfit is an empirically based, clinically tested and community-generated sport”, says Greg Glassman, co-founder of Crossfit.
Crossfit is a high-intensity workout that tests a person’s strength and endurance. It consists of movements such as squats, deadlifts, lunges or push-ups, and involves the use of ropes, weights and jump ropes. Crossfit is also known for its movement to address gender inequality and empower women through innovative actions.
