CrossFit is a strength and conditioning programme that builds general physical preparedness for all of life's challenges. A blend of gymnastics, weightlifting, and mono-structural endurance, it does not specialise. It will never plateau.

It is fun, creative, and, most importantly, it works. It teaches you to do common things uncommonly well, while developing a base of strength and stamina on which you can build an active lifestyle.

Tan Mei Sian, Director of CrossFitGTX said "Functional fitness includes squatting, reacting, rotating, picking things up from the floor and putting things away over your head which mimic everyone's everyday life movement. These functional exercises condition your body to move more efficiently through real-life activities and help prevent injury.
