CrossFit
Constantly Varied Functional Movement at a High Intensity
CrossFit is a blend of gymnastics, weightlifting, and mono-structural endurance, it does not specialize. It will never plateau. It is fun, creative, and, most importantly, it works. It will teach you how to do common things uncommonly well, while developing a base of strength and stamina on which you can build an active lifestyle…a community that you want to be a part of.– CrossFit Journal
CrossFit started as a maverick gym in Santa Cruz, California in 1998. The founder, Greg Glassman posted his short, intense workouts on a blog every day (the “workout of the day” or, WOD) and encouraged his readers – mostly garage-gym enthusiasts – to post their results in the comments. CrossFit.com workouts are still posted daily, free for everyone, and followed religiously by many. The method attracts a lot of media attention (including many detractors) primarily because most workouts are only 10 – 15 minutes long, yet yield amazing fitness results in a short period of time.
CrossFit delivers a fitness that is, by design, broad, general, and inclusive. CrossFit’s specialty is not specializing. Daily life, like many sports and professions, (and even combat) requires broad levels of fitness. CrossFit’s program is designed for universal scalability making it the perfect application for any committed individual regardless of experience. You do NOT need to be ‘in-shape’ to begin CrossFit. “The needs of Olympic athletes and our grandparents differ by degree not kind. ” – Greg Glassman.
CrossFit workouts are comprised of functional movements – we squat, jump, run, throw and lift – and are constantly varied (workouts change every day) and are executed at high intensity. You’ll work hard, though not long, and you’ll achieve a level of fitness you never thought possible – no matter your fitness experience or athletic background. CrossFit works for EVERYbody!
Finally, and perhaps most importantly, CrossFit is an amazing community of like-minded, positive people with a common goal: to live a healthier more fit life. And, it is the CrossFit community that will keep you focused on your goals, working harder than thought you could and coming back when you want to quit. Whether you CrossFit in your garage in Clayton or at an affiliate in Hong Kong, the workouts are the same for everyone – and so are the results.[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”Private Coaching”][vc_column_text disable_pattern=”true” align=”left” margin_bottom=”0″]

Masters Programming (40+)
CrossFit is relied upon by many amateur and professional athletes to keep them in shape for their sport – especially the sport of fitness. After age 40, physical fitness is critical to not only being competitive in sports, but simply being able to participate. At Diablo CrossFit, we help our Masters-level athletes maintain and win with fitness as a foundation for success. We have a solid group of 40+ year-old athletes who compete in myriad sports, including 5ks, 10ks, marathons, triathlons, fitness competitions, Masters Track & Field, the CrossFit Games, rowing, car racing, and more. All of Diablo CrossFits workouts offer masters athlete scaling – from load adjustments to box-jump step downs – using a recommended completion time or volume as a basis for scaling. If you’re training for a specific sport, our coaches will help design a CrossFit schedule that accommodates your sport specific workouts and events. We’ll also provide Masters athletes with recommended accessory exercises to help improve areas of weakness tailored to your sport.
Masters Madness Class
If you’re ready to take to on the CrossFit Games as a Master, or try your hand at a local competition, or, if you simply want to take your workout to the next level, join our Masters Madness class! Every week our Masters athletes come together for a 90 minute class that starts with skill work, then onto strength training & efficiency work, followed by a metabolic conditioning workout that will leave you on floor. Our goal is to simulate the experience of competition while pushing your fitness to the next level.
