Crossfit's of Charlotte

Join CrossFit enthusiasts around the world on September 17th for a test of your mettle while also raising funds for three charities.

Over 2,500 CrossFit affiliates around the world have been invited to participate in the 6th Annual "Fight Gone Bad" event benefiting the Special Operations Warrior Foundation.

What IS CrossFit?
"CrossFit is the principal strength and conditioning program for many police academies and tactical operations teams, military special operations units, champion martial artists, and hundreds of other elite and professional athletes worldwide."

"Our program delivers a fitness that is, by design, broad, general, and inclusive. Our specialty is not specializing. Combat, survival, many sports, and life reward this kind of fitness and, on average, punish the specialist."

"The CrossFit program is designed for universal scalability making it the perfect application for any committed individual regardless of experience. We've used our same routines for elderly individuals with heart disease and cage fighters one month out from televised bouts. We scale load and intensity; we don't change programs." - CF HQ website
