CrossFit Generation works exclusively with compound, functional movements and shorter, high-intensity cardiovascular sessions. CrossFit replaced the lateral raise with push-presses, the curl with pull-ups, the pec dec with pushups, and the leg extension with squats. CrossFit prides itself on compound and functional movements and high-intensity or anaerobic cardio.
CrossFit Generation optimizes physical competence in each of the 10 recognized fitness domains: Cardiovascular and respiratory endurance, stamina, strength, flexibility, power, speed, coordination, agility, balance and accuracy.
The gym combines weightlifting, gymnastics and cardiovascular drills that are short, efficient, and effective. The intensity is scaled to different ages and levels of fitness.
