Located in Winnipeg, CrossFit 204 is a 6,000-square-foot dedicated CrossFit facility.

We employ the CrossFit method of using constantly varied whole-body movements to create challenging workouts that are scaled to allow each participant to work at the correct level of intensity. Our instructors supervise each class and ensure you are moving correctly and safely. We have people of all levels of fitness, and we can work with anyone from beginner to advanced.

Classes are one hour long and include a warm-up and cool-down/stretching/mobility period. Aside from that, each class is different. We want you to be fitter in every way, so we will challenge you with a constantly changing selection of activities that will improve your strength, speed, agility, endurance, power, coordination and flexibility.

We create workouts using a host of activities in various combinations. Some days you will squat. Other days you will press. Some days you will do both. Sometimes you will squat or press in a circuit. We run, do stairs and row for various distances, usually in combination with other activities. We always include core strength in some way. We use barbells, dumbbells, medicine balls, kettlebells, gymnastic rings and a host of other tools. Some circuits are short, while others are longer. Sometimes the circuit includes two or three exercises, and sometimes many more.

You will be shown how to do every movement properly, and we will make sure you are comfortable before you perform the movement as part of a circuit. If you have injuries or physical limitations that prevent you from doing some movements, we will find alternatives.

Each class is carefully designed to provide a fun workout that challenges participants at their own levels and improves fitness.

About CrossFit

 

 

CrossFit is a training system developed in the mid-’80s by Greg Glassman. He opened the first CrossFit gym in Santa Cruz, Calif., in 1999. Since that time, over 2,000 gyms worldwide have adopted the program and affiliated with CrossFit HQ.

CrossFit is defined as “constantly varied functional movements performed at high intensity.” This means the CrossFit program does not use machine-based isolation exercises seen in traditional facilities. CrossFit treats your body as a machine, and the program uses a constantly changing selection of full-body movements to elicit a physiological response. This physiological response is increased fitness, which CrossFit defines as the ability to do more work faster.

These specific descriptions are important but sometimes less than useful.

More simply: CrossFit is fun and challenging, and it works. If you give it a chance, you will discover this for yourself.

At CrossFit 204, we are passionate about your health and fitness, and we'd love to have you join us for a workout. We will help you discover new levels of fitness, and you will have a great time!
