CrossFit.
CrossFit is about variation, intensity and functional movement. From heavy lifts to gymnastics skills and cardio. No session feels the same. It asks something of you. Physically, but mentally too. You walk in. You switch gears. You work.
together, not side by side.
CrossFit is trained in a group. Everyone does the same WOD, each at their own level. You scale weight and movements to where you are right now. The clock runs for everyone. Whoever finishes last is not forgotten but cheered on. It is not about the numbers on the whiteboard. It is about showing up, every time. That connection fits how we look at movement.
what it asks of clothing.
A WOD switches from heavy lifts to gymnastics and cardio within minutes. Not every piece of clothing needs to do the same job. One moment it is about sturdiness, the next about air and lightness. What we always take into account:
- Freedom of movement in every position, from a deep squat to hanging from the bar
- Fabric and weight that match what the piece is made for
- Holds up to contact with bar, floor and kettlebell
- Moves moisture quickly under shifting intensity
- Stays in place, overhead and upside down
- No seams or details that distract when it counts
