WHAT IS CROSSFIT?
CrossFit is a strength and conditioning programme utilising constantly varied, functional movements performed at high intensity. At CrossFit Devil's Path we specialise in not specialising. All CrossFit workouts are completely scalable and can be embraced by anybody no matter what level of fitness they possess. For example, your Gran will have relatively less fitness levels than a 20 year old football player, however they can still train alongside each other carrying out identical functional movement patterns with just the reps and weights changing.
