Primarily, it’s a fitness regimen developed by Coach Greg Glassman over several decades. He was the first person in history to define fitness in a meaningful, measurable way (increased work capacity across broad time and modal domains). CrossFit itself is defined as that which optimizes fitness (constantly varied functional movements performed at relatively high intensity). CrossFit is also the community that spontaneously arises when people do these workouts together. In fact, the communal aspect of CrossFit is a key component of why it’s so effective. About CrossFit Hereford
CrossFit Hereford was established in 2013 when it became an official affiliate. Prior to this, Coach Charlie and Will set up their own classes approximately 10+ years ago, training outdoors which started off with a group of friends, to then expand via 'word of mouth' to a healthy class of 20+ participants. Classes have always been multifunctional and alternative which so happened to coincide with CrossFits method when we discovered it. CrossFit Hereford has now built itself up due to the commitment of the athletes and Coaches who have been with us since day 1. The atmosphere created at the workouts have been nothing but welcoming, inclusive and inspiring to all new athletes. Its this atmosphere which has brought together all athletes to form what we like to call our 'CrossFit family'. No matter the ability, fitness level or attitude to fitness, everyone is encouraged and included in order to help in anyway possible to achieve their personal goals. The Coaches of CrossFit Hereford
