CrossFit MHF:
"CAUTION!
ATHLETES AT WORK!"

Proudly serving Wheat Ridge, Arvada, Lakewood, Denver and The Highlands area!

Mission Statement:

We believe that no matter your age or fitness level, we are ALL athletes; we are designed to move as such. 

What is CrossFit?

Constantly Varied, High-Intensity, Functional Movement - the ability to move large loads, long distances, quickly.

Our program delivers 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. 

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. 

Why CrossFit?

The needs of Olympic athletes and our grandparents differ by degree, not kind. Our clients are diverse, they range from military personel, skiers, mountain bike riders, athletes of all levels and housewives - each have found their best fitness from the same regimen. 

World-Class Fitness in 100 words:

Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and no sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise but not body fat.

Practice and train major lifts:
Deadlift, Clean, Squat, Presses, Clean & jerk Snatch.

Similarly master the basics of gymnastics:
pull-ups, dips, rope climb, push-up, sit-up, presses to handstand, pirouettes, flips, splits, and holds. Bike, run, row, etc, hard & fast.

Five or six days per week mix these elements in as many combinations and patterns as creativity will allow. Routine is the enemy. Keep workouts short and intense

Regularly learn and play new sports.

Strength Training:

Strength training, a key component of CrossFit, is a crucial element to fitness. Lack of strength is one of the main reasons that people in their later years lose their independence.

Strength Training means having the ability to carry out daily tasks without distress, such as carrying your groceries, picking up your kids or grandkids, lifting and or moving boxes or furniture. In order to keep up these activities it is essential to strength train.

Our strength training program consists of, but not limited to:

• Deadlift
• Bench
• Squat
• Press
• Clean & Jerk
• Snatch
