Gymnastics

Why do I still SUCK at Gymnastics?

Gymnastics serves as a fundamental discipline within CrossFit, requiring a blend of strength, flexibility, and precision.

Emphasizing bodyweight exercises and movements such as handstands, muscle-ups, and levers, gymnastics within CrossFit demands a mastery of one's body control and spatial awareness.

Practicing gymnastic movements is vital for overall athleticism and performance enhancement in CrossFit workouts. It develops core strength, balance, coordination, and agility, essential for executing various functional movements efficiently. Moreover, mastering gymnastics fosters a deeper understanding of body mechanics, enabling athletes to perform complex movements with greater efficiency and reduced risk of injury. In the realm of CrossFit, where versatility is key, gymnastics training proves indispensable for achieving optimal performance and unlocking one's full athletic potential.

Here’s WHY we do Gymnastics...

MOVEMENT EFFICIENCY and EASE

Gymnastics movements emphasize proper body mechanics, body awareness, and efficient movement patterns. Mastering these skills enhances efficiency in other CrossFit exercises, such as kettlebell swings, box jumps, and wall balls, leading to improved performance and reduced energy expenditure.

VARIED, FUNCTIONAL, FUN.

Gymnastics, although challenging, can be a great variation from typical weightlifting and cardio exercises. It also keeps us stimulated because we are learning new skills all of the time!

INCREASED FUNCTIONAL STRENGTH

Strength is required for proper form, and proper form is required to demonstrate body control. As such, gymnastics has a clear emphasis on strength in body-weight movements. More than anything else, strict form establishes mastery in a movement, and for this reason we promote strict movement before we apply momentum
