WELCOME TO CROSSFIT BLACKFIRE

Everyone wants to know the shortcut to ultimate fitness. Is it through Gymnastics, running, weightlifting, calisthenics, plyometrics, isometrics? Crossfit Blackfire knows the answer - You have to do all of them!

Introducing CrossFit Blackfire, Andheri West's only official CrossFit box. CrossFit, a high-intensity fitness programme incorporating elements from several sports and types of exercise. CrossFit is constantly varied functional movements performed at high intensity. All CrossFit workouts are based on functional movements, and these movements reflect the best aspects of gymnastics, weightlifting, running, rowing and more. These are the core movements of life. They move the largest loads the longest distances, so they are ideal for maximizing the amount of work done in the shortest time. Intensity is essential for results and is measurable as work divided by time—or power. The more work you do in less time, or the higher the power output, the more intense the effort. By employing a constantly varied approach to training, functional movements and intensity lead to dramatic gains in fitness. The community that spontaneously arises when people do these workouts together is a key component of why CrossFit is so effective, and it gave birth to a global network of CrossFit affiliates that number over 13,000. Harnessing the natural camaraderie, competition and fun of sport or game yields an intensity that cannot be matched by other means. The CrossFit program is driven by data. Using whiteboards as scoreboards, keeping accurate scores and records, running a clock, and precisely defining the rules and standards for performance, we not only motivate unprecedented output but derive both relative and absolute metrics at every workout. This data has important value well beyond motivation. Overall, the aim of CrossFit is to forge a broad, general and inclusive fitness supported by measurable, observable and repeatable results. The program prepares trainees for any physical contingency—not only for the unknown but for the unknowable, too. Our specialty is not specializing. While CrossFit challenges the world's fittest, the program is designed for universal scalability, making it the perfect application for any committed individual, regardless of experience. We scale load and intensity; we don’t change the program. The needs of Olympic athletes and our grandparents differ by degree, not kind.

A breakdown of the three key elements of CrossFit by CrossFitHQ.

The workout was simple: three rounds for time of a 400-meter run, 21 kettlebell swings at 1.5 pood and 12 pull-ups. In other words, Helen. "Thought I'd be pretty good at it," Karl Steadman of CrossFit 3D says when describing his first CrossFit workout. But after the initial round, he was "in a world of hurt." "If I look back on it, I cringe now," Steadman adds. Meanwhile, Jami Tikkanen of CrossFit Thames in England tested out CrossFit with a workout calling for four rounds for time of a 400-meter run and 50 squats. He was doing martial arts at the time, training 10 hours a week and doing 100 squats as part of his warm-up. When he saw the workout, he remembers thinking, "This is going to be a good day." But after the second round, Tikkanen started to slow down and take breaks. "Turns out that that fitness (I had been doing) did not translate to real life," he explains. Still, despite years of CrossFit, Steadman says workouts remain grueling. "It never gets easy," he says. "You just get faster." Post your first CrossFit workout and its effects to comments.

Transcript You haven't heard of CrossFit? Let me tell you about CrossFit. CrossFit is a lifestyle in which you are prioritizing your health. The ability to do many different things at a high level of intensity. I think it's the absolute best way to help you reach your fitness goals. For me, it's making me happy. A fun way to get fit with a lot of people. The last person finishing is the just as important as the first one. It's this team atmosphere that ends up making you better as an individual. It's camaraderie, that family that you end up building and the energy that you get back from it yourself, that's CrossFit to me. You come to a CrossFit gym everybody knows your name, everybody loves you and you're a part of something bigger than just getting a workout. CrossFit gave me that something extra that I kinda needed in life. It's my outlet, I love it. It's my passion. It's commitment. CrossFit is a sport now. I like the challenge, I compete with myself, I'm healthier, I am stronger. Even though I was sore, I was, you know, getting a little discouraged, you know ... I felt accountable because my community, or I felt accountable to my class because they were looking for me there. Finding CrossFit and then having to work really dang hard for whatever your goal is ... whether its to compete or just get a damn pull-up. I love it 'cause the workout's different everyday, I can come in and I don't know what I'm doing. Everyone is welcoming, everyone is cheering you on. They don't let you quit even if you wanna quit. We all share this experience, which is emotional. It doesn't look emotional, it looks like people working out ... but it's emotional. I mean it's raw, it's intense, it's incredible, it's freakin' awesome. I'm gonna keep doing it for a long time, I hope. CrossFit, to me, is a fitness program where the reward for doing well is the ability to express your fitness in everyday life in as many different planes or as many different activities that you can possibly imagine. People walk through the door and say, 'Hey, where's all the machines?' We're the machines!
