Functional Human Movement
CrossFit is a foundational Core Strength and Conditioning program that seeks to elicit as broad as adaptation response as possible utilising training formats derived from Gymnastics, Olympic Weightlifting, Sprinting and Combat disciplines.
The CrossFit Aphesis focus is on the instruction of correct technique through full range of motion in Functional Human Movement protocols. This produces what we believe to be a fitness level that is highly transferable to all athletic pursuits as well as daily functional physical tasks.
Our Program delivers a fitness that is by design, broad, general and inclusive. Our specialty is not specialising. Combat, survival, many sports and life itself reward this kind of fitness and on average, punish the specialist.
Upcoming Events / News
- Group Classes are run as a not - for - profit initiative by CLO. There are no fees or charges, only a couple of waiver forms to fill out and sign. We are funded completely through donations and fundraising by the community who attend, CLO and owners of CFA. Our primary goal is increasing the awareness of "CrossFit" within our local community.
- New dates to be advised.
Individuals within the program develop a greater understanding of applying force dynamically and statically while maximising strength to weight ratio and functional range of movement. Enhancing individual's competency in physical tasks by improving Cardiovascular and Respiratory Endurance, Strength, Flexibility, Power, Agility, Coordination and Balance.
What results is the ability to apply strength and power in real world environments and or sports providing either a stand alone conditioning routine or a platform for sport specific performance. 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.
The CrossFit Method: Aspects of Fitness
Diet: nutrition is the fuel for fitness and health.
Metabolic Conditioning: Conditioning of the energy systems of human body, Aerobic, lactic acid and phosphocreatineDynamic
Body Weight Movement: Creates functional body control and improves range of motion, balance and agility.
Strength and Power based Lifting/Throwing: Creates ability to exert control over external objects and develops power/strength ratios
Outdoor Pursuits/Sports: Application and exposure to competitive elements refines specific skills and allows exposure to randomized and unpredictable events of the greater world.
The CrossFit Method seeks to condition the key aspects of all round Fitness.
Including improving efficiency and increasing work capacity of the interlinked:
Cardio Vascular Aerobic and Anaerobic Systems
Relative Strength
Power to Body weight Ratio
Flexibility and Range of Joint Mobility
Coordination
Agility
Balance
These Aspects together form the basis of efficient and effective human movement the training of which should be included in any focused Fitness routine. This is achieved by Cross Training the skills of multiple modalities, which have functional movement at their core.
Through this individuals develop a high level of competency at the above aspects of fitness, developing a core strength and conditioning that can be applied to any specific performance sets with minimal refinement.
