What is CrossFit?
"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."

What is Functional Fitness?
It's training for real life. Regardless of what your lifestyle entails the more "functionally fit" you are the better you'll feel, move and function!
Living Modern. Training Old.
At CrossFit Pittsburgh we put away the chrome and mirrors and get back to old fashioned hard work.
Medicine balls, iron and kettlebells will become your newest, "Old Friends."
Have you tried to climb a 15' rope since high school phys ed? You will here...and you'll remember how much fun a diversified training program can be.
Have you ever tested your stamina with a kettlebell workout. It's not an industry trend, it's hundreds of years old, time tested and proven effective. For more insight into the versatility of kettlebells and kettlebell training take a look at what Jeff and Maureen Martone are doing at Tactical Athlete.
Most of all CrossFit is about functional strength, endurance, power and stamina.
