Welcome to Crossfit 509
CrossFit 509 is a Human Performance Facility located in north Spokane which specializes in group training classes. The backgrounds of our clients are diverse, but their fitness needs differ only by degree, not kind. We train athletes of all ages and ability, housewives, students and grandmothers. Some of our clients are training for functional dominance; others are training to regain functional competence. All of our clients train using the same functional movements, while scaling the load and intensity for their individual abilities.
When you think of a “gym”, what comes to mind? If you are like most people you will think of rows of machines and banks of cardio equipment. Workouts are comprised of structured sets on a series of machines. The machines bear the majority of the load, setting an artificial line of action, forcing your body to follow its path. People sit on stationary bicycles, reading a magazine and getting in their 30 minutes of “cardio” before their strength training. Throughout these gyms there are a multitude of places to either sit down, or lay down to workout. There is no creativity, no variance, only a structured environment for the masses. Is this an effective way to train for everyday life?
The General Physical Preparedness path-
Our definition of fitness is the ability to perform well at any and all physical tasks, even unknown tasks. Fitness is not defined inside the walls of a gym; it is defined each and every day by your ability to deal with the challenges of life.
We train using movements that pre-date the modern gym facility and philosophy. Long before Gold’s Gym, our ancestors were squatting, running, jumping, pulling, pushing, climbing and throwing. By training with these movements, we are “reconditioning” our bodies to function in the manner that they were designed. We intentionally blur the line between strength training and cardio training, just as nature does.
