Getting Started at CrossFit Santa Cruz Central

What is CrossFit?

CrossFit is a strength and conditioning program built on constantly varied functional movements executed at high intensity. The CrossFit approach challenges an individual at their current level of fitness and progressively moves each person to greater levels of fitness. 

CrossFit can be adapted to all ages and ability levels. We have proven success with children, elite athletes and adults of any age who want to improve their health and fitness.

Did you know? CrossFit started in Santa Cruz and is now an international fitness program with thousands of affiliates worldwide. The original CrossFit gym was about 200m from CrossFit Santa Cruz Central's current location on Research Park drive in Soquel, California.
