At South Tryon Athletic Center CrossFit, we know hard work pays off and we believe in using a variety of movements to create your best workout. We use a combination of elements such as Olympic weightlifting,
gymnastics, sprinting, rowing and core condition to improve overall flexibility, strength, speed, endurance and agility. Instead of monotonous and boring workout programs we have
drastically different WOD’s so every workout is unlike any other. We like to keep it non repetitive and focus on different movements to provide your body with long-term success. The best
part of our philosophy? The camaraderie by working with people who cheer you on and deliver support every step of the way.

Improvements in endurance, stamina, strength, and flexibility come about through training.

- By contrast improvements in coordination, agility, balance, and accuracy come about through practice. Practice refers to activity that improves performance through changes
in the nervous system. (7 – 10)
- Power and speed are adaptations of both training AND practice. (5 & 6)
