If you walk into your local gym or coffee shop and start a casual conversation about CrossFit, you’ll find that most people either love it or hate it. CrossFit started as a blog in 2003 and has grown exponentially since then.

Today there are over 5500 CrossFit affiliate gyms, and around 35,000 certified instructors. Obviously, there is something to this fitness regimen! Thousands of people swear by it, and we have also seen visual proof that it tightens and tones the entire body. So what is CrossFit?
