Arguably the fastest growing sport today, CrossFit is making fitness cool again and in the process introducing a new generation of athletes to barbell movements.
As a training method, CrossFit is a great way to achieve well-rounded fitness because of the emphasis on full-body movements and compound lifts. It also wraps programming up into group classes, promoting a competitive but also supportive community. The main CrossFit site is crossfit.com.
As a sport, it takes everything up another level and demands high proficiency to mastery of a wide domain of skills. You can find out more about competitive CrossFit at games.crossfit.com.
