In so far as the box goes it looks like it will be operating in the week after Easter ,watch your email for updates !!

I know for some people that CrossFit is simply an effective an efficient fitness methodology and that's cool. There is an extraordinary amount of thinking and science behind the methodology and it is a fascinating showcase of a cross disciplinary thinker, CrossFit founder, Greg Glassman. Once the box is open I will be inviting one of the other level one trainers in Darwin to talk more about the CrossFit methodology for those of you who are interested. In the interim here is the link to the seminal CrossFit journal article "What is fitness" , drum roll please. Enjoy.

Welcome to CrossFit Darwin

CrossFit Darwin opens on 22 Mar 10. I am starting slowly with a small group conducting a fundamentals program from 22 - 24 Mar 10 starting at 6.00pm at Kahlin Oval. Fundamentals classes teach the nine basic movements which underpin all CrossFit training. Teaching these 9 movements takes three 1 hour classes and they must be completed as a prerequiste to conducting a CrossFit Darwin workout of the day (WOD).

Please feel free to browse the website which describes my approach to CrossFit. The schedule will be reviewed as I gauge interest and participation. I conduct training at two locations, Kahlin oval in Cullen Bay and the Fannie Bay foreshore. Please email me on kelly@crossfitdarwin.com or drop in and watch a fundamentals session or WOD if you would like to know more. Trust me, I am happy to talk to you about CrossFit for as long as you would like.
