We all know that learning basic gymnastics elements is a foundational part of your CrossFit training and development. In fact, according to the CrossFit Hierarchy of Theoretical Development, it is the third most important piece of the puzzle besides proper nutrition and metabolic conditioning (Yes, that’s right I am telling you that gymnastics are more important than that 500lb deadlift or 275lb clean) But why?
Gymnastics relevance for training strength and body control is obvious, but they offer much more than that. Your ability to move your bodyweight effortlessly and with confidence will transfer in strengths across the board in your training and daily life. Plain and simple you need to know how to move your body! Without knowing and understanding this, how can you expect to progress as an athlete? Think about it this way, there is a reason you learned the air squat before a back squat or squat clean.
No matter if you are a new or experienced CrossFitter, our gymnastics course is designed to improve your ability to move your body and build strength!
