Born from the marriage of the old-school "deck of cards PT" and the traditional CrossFit concept of the "hopper" workout, an amazing team of artists and CrossFitters has, working closely with Coach Glassman and other CrossFit principals, developed the perfect tool for your travel workouts, your "I need a change of pace" workouts, your affiliate challenge workouts... the Hopper Deck.

Featuring the Heroes, the Girls, and many other workouts.

Enhanced by bad-ass graphics.

These will be available 7 July, and at the Games. Get yours!

What do you know about CrossFit?

CrossFit is the sport of fitness. Roughly defined, CrossFit is constantly varied, functional movements executed at high intensity, continuously increasing work capacity over broad time and modal domains.

CrossFit is FUN! Millions of people worldwide are training using the methods and programming developed by Greg and Lauren Glassman. The focus on excellence demonstrated by CrossFit trainers and participants has generated a return to athletics. American Heritage Dictionary defines an athlete as: A person possessing the natural or acquired traits, such as strength, agility, and endurance, which are necessary for physical exercise or sports, especially those performed in competitive contexts.

CrossFit participants compete against themselves every day to best their previous performance, Personal Records (PR), using the many "Workouts of the Day", or WOD, that are posted on www.crossfit.com, free for everyone to try. Many of these workouts have names, names like Cindy, Michael, Helen, Joshie, Fran and the Filthy Fifty, and are formatted as a stand alone event, repeated yearly on a random schedule.

The CrossFit Games

The CrossFit Games brings together athletes from around the world for a two day competition utilizing WOD benchmarks and several random elements. In 2008, athletes and spectators will gather in Aromas, California July 5th and 6th to share their love of the sport of fitness, and watch their fellow "crossfitters" compete.
