Who We Are

“Conditioning You For A Life Of Action”

Watch this short youtube video above to get a virtual tour of ITF and a better understanding of who we are and what we do.

We are a CrossFit community, whose “sole purpose for being” is to live a life of action by actively serving God, our families, our members and our community at large.

We can do this only by becoming, and staying as healthy and fit as possible.

Therefore, we refuse to be a waste of skin on this earth by being unfit, unhealthy or useless to society.

We have deep convictions of what it means to really be fit.

We have deep convictions of what it means to be an example.

And that means we practice what we preach.  We live the code.

So, Who Are We?

We are:

Women who want … to feel confident in our physical and emotional abilities at work, at play and to look good in the mirror …

Men who want … to be strong and warrior-like every day of our lives and to be physically prepared to “do battle” when we are called upon and needed, oh, and to look good in the mirror …

Mothers who need … an outlet to gain the strength and stamina to chase little energizer bunnies around all day long … and still have energy at the end of the day for their husbands and lovers …

Fathers who need … an outlet to release daily frustration, stress and tension … all the while having the energy to play with his pride and joy – his children …

Business professionals who must have … the mental acuity, the physical stamina and the emotional stability to perform at the highest levels in today’s economically challenging times …

An aging male population who must … beat the 7 biggest threats to our health after we pass the age of 50 -  Arthritis … 2. Alzheimer’s and Stroke … 3.Heart Disease, 4. Cancer … 5. Prostate … 6. Pain … 7. Loss of Vision

An aging female population who must … beat the 7 biggest threats to our health after we pass the age of 50 - 1.Arthritis … 2. Alzheimer’s and Stroke … 3.Heart Disease, 4. Cancer … 5. Osteoporosis … 6. Pain … 7. Loss of Vision

High-school and college students and athletes who must …  do battle daily with negative peer pressure, compete for respect among class members, be physically prepared to compete in sports and to preform well academically.

Individually, we are each athletes of varying skill sets and abilities.

Even if you’ve never competed in a single sporting activity, we consider you an athlete if you …

• Ever had to run through a crowded airport to catch a connecting flight …
• Wrestled on the floor with your children or grandchildren …
• Ever kicked a soccer ball in the back yard …
• Load and unload groceries in and out of your car and home …
• Do yard work, wash laundry, drive a car, or ever lift something …
• If you ever pick anything up off the floor, lift anything over your head, or move one object from one place to another …
• Climb a fight of stairs …
• Make love.

All of these activities (and many others) require various athletic skill sets.

All will place various levels of demands upon your body.

By our definition, that makes you an athlete.

What is CrossFit?

The CrossFit training program at Iron Tribe Fitness is your personal revolution in fitness.

It will change the way you think about fitness training, and it will show you how to achieve lasting health and fitness through evidence-based results.

That means that your own evidence (your own results) will prove to you that you are on the right track, and making the greatest gains of your life.

The program has been developed over decades of practice of ‘in the trenches’ application.

The CrossFit HQ website supplies the following explanation:

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.

The needs of Olympic athletes and our grandparents differ by degree not kind. Our terrorist hunters, skiers, mountain bike riders and housewives have found their best fitness from the same regimen.

Thousands of athletes worldwide have followed our workouts posted daily on this site and distinguished themselves in combat, the streets, the ring, stadiums, gyms and homes.

Why CrossFit at Iron Tribe Fitness?

In a single sentence: Because in our collective experience, CrossFit works better than any other program we’ve ever seen.

Period.

And trust us, we’ve done dang near it all!

CrossFit is not a fad, it’s not faddish, and it’s not something that will come and go.

On the contrary, the concepts are proven, they’ve been around for years it’s just now that they’ve been thrust together when someone questioned:

“… now what if we did this again, but faster this time?”

CrossFit develops fitness through the most complete range of motion with movements that are suitable to people of all walks of life.

It does this by getting you off all the modern day weight machines.

It is not specialised, it is in fact the complete opposite – generalised.

CrossFit can be done by any able-bodied person and it will produce unparalleled results for those that are prepared to push their limits, to challenge themselves and their preconceived ideas of fitness.

It’s a training protocol for everyone who likes the idea of … Greater reward for greater effort.

What does that all mean?

CrossFit is designed to elicit the most extensive physical and mental adaptations possible.

It means your body is going to adapt to the new demands you’ll make of it.

Our program promotes correct posture and movement, it helps rehabilitate injury, it develops broad and inclusive fitness and it makes you look and feel good.

We use functional movements in constantly varied combinations and perform these at high intensity (yet always safely).

As Coach Glassman says,

“The magic is in the movement, the art is in the programming, the science is in the explanation, and the fun is in the community.”

Who can CrossFit?

Every able-bodied person can do CrossFit.

We scale the workouts to suit each individual.

Grandmothers, commandos, office workers and high school students all do the same movements with differing load and intensity.

CrossFit can benefit you. It’s not easy but the rewards are significant.

What is involved in doing CrossFit training at Iron Tribe Fitness?

First you complete a CrossFit 101 class teaching you all of the basic movements involved in the programming as well as the diet that will elicit the fastest and most efficient fitness gains.  This is a three time a week class for one month with all beginners and it is required to participate.  Our 101 graduates tell us it is a blast and helped them realize that they really can do this!  Watch this short video here to see some of our graduating classes.

We offer classes morning, afternoon and evening. Monday-Friday.  We do special events and benchmark workout competitions on Saturdays.

Classes are 45 minutes in length and involve a warm up, WOD (workout of the day), and cool down.  These three elements change every day and you never know what to expect.
