Welcome to ChalkBox in 2018!

Why your new year resolutions should be training at Chalkbox

Decades, and billions of dollars later, and not one "leader" of the fitness industry has been able to define fitness, until now.  CrossFit has defined fitness as "an increase in work capacity across broad time and modal domains".  What this means is that the fittest people on earth should be great in everything, but specialize in nothing. 

Training at Chalkbox is like doing mini competitions

This friendly competition motivates people like nothing else. Whether you're competing with your own previous score, or competing with a friend in class, you will be shocked how much more fun this makes working out.  This is especially true if you're a former athlete who thinks he or she has lost that competitive drive.  CrossFit will awaken something inside of you, and the feeling is addictive and amazing.

We use an app at ChalkBox which you can use on your phone. Via this app you can keep score of everything you do. This is where we are different from any other gym. We follow the progress of our members constantly and make sure every single member gets fitter and stronger.

ChalkBox is not just a gym but a community

Sure, it may seem intimidating at first, but you'll quickly realize how supportive the CrossFit community is and how this is just part of the thread that binds it together. You will never have to workout alone again.  Not only will you benefit from expert coaching and a huge online community to discover and share stories with, but you'll also develop relationships in the gym that truly make training fun. This encourages consistency, which is extremely difficult to find in other programs. The people in your gym become your teammates, and you're likely to bond quickly with anyone you meet at the bank wearing a CrossFit tee shirt. People are passionate about this for a reason, it's up to you to find out what that is. Read more about our community via this link.

At ChalkBox we prepare you for ANYTHING

CrossFit trains multiple metabolic systems, as opposed to just one like in most sports.   There are three metabolic pathways that produce the energy to perform any activity: the phosphagen, glycolytic, and the oxidative systems.  Most programs focus on one or two of the systems making you a specialist, but weak in the others.  CrossFit trains you to become a well rounded athlete, spending time in all three time domains and improving your work capacity in any activity that you do.  Soooo... the next time you encounter a bear you'll have a choice. You could either take the bear down in one swooping lash, wrestle with it until it is too fatigued to fight back, or run away from it for hours on end... phosphagen, glycolytic, oxidative.

At ChalkBox we improve health and physic

Functional movements are named as such for a reason.  They make us more functional. They help us move more efficiently and prevent injuries in our everyday lives.  Combined with a diet that promotes longevity and performance, you will feel better, perform better, and have more energy even as you get older.  Though Crossfit is almost exclusively concentrates on athletic performance, a result of this training is a very lean muscled look. For instance, the actors in the movie 300 did CrossFit for 3-6 months before the movie and they were ripped! This truly is the closest thing to a fountain of youth that we have.

At ChalkBox you can't hide your weaknesses

The workouts will keep you honest and force you to attack your weaknesses, making you a better all around athlete.  This is something that nearly everyone avoids when training on their own, which severely limits progress.  In other words, don't be afraid of your weaknesses, or exercises that you "hate”, face them head on with relentless determination and you will get results you never thought possible.
