Power development is essential for everyone, whether your goal is to improve your performance as an athlete or to offset the age-related loss of fast twitch capability.

We introduced a new power movement today – the PVC Jump Over. These are a natural progression from the box jump. In both movements the goal of landing softly remains the same however the big differentiator is the effect of gravity.

In a box jump we minimise eccentric stress by landing on the box and not allowing the body to come down.
In the Jump Over however, the acceleration effect of gravity when landing takes its toll. This descent will greatly increase the eccentric load on your muscles and tendons thus increasing the intensity of the movement.
​
And to quote CrossFit ‘If you want to look better, feel better, work better, sleep better, play better — intensity will get you there.’

"I joined CFA 9 months ago to improve my health, strength and shape after too many years away from training. I’d always wanted to try CrossFit and was completely sold after meeting with Coach Cathy for an intro session.

The three things that really keep me consistent and coming back for more are the coaches, the gym community and the variety of training.

The coaches really care about seeing you get the best out of the workouts and are always ready with guidance and support to help you improve.
The gym community has been very welcoming from the beginning. Everyone is so supportive of each other and help to celebrate each other's progress.

Workouts can be anything from strength training to gymnastic skills to cardio and they are always different. It keeps things interesting and there is always something to improve on. I’d definitely recommend CFA to anyone looking to get fit, stay motivated and meet an awesome group of people!"

Brilliant Kirsty keep at it!
