Top CrossFit Gyms In South Florida

CrossFit has taken off in a frenzy in recent years with good reason. The fitness discipline focuses on combining various types of workouts such as weight lifting, gymnastics and aerobic exercise for strengthening and conditioning. The workouts vary each day for consistent results and the high-intensity sessions only use the body's natural movement. Participants take part in Workout of the Day (WOD) group sessions to increase metabolism, strength and fitness, get lean and improve flexibility. These South Florida CrossFit gyms offer memberships to get involved with the fitness discipline as well as other offerings including nutrition consultations, competitions and more.
