Our Program

Welcome to CrossFit Corona de Tucson

 

Looking for a strength and conditioning program that is fun, challenging, and effective?

You found it!

In the heart of Corona de Tucson....

 

 

Our goal is to create a community of fitness within Corona de Tucson. We can meet the needs of every community member from elite athletes to individuals who are elderly, overweight, or mostly sedentary.

We truly believe everyone should be working out the CrossFit way. It is the fitness program of the future. It's safe, effective and extremely efficient.

Our training provides an alternative to the typical gym experience. We trade the machines for effective training using functional movements that will have you performing better in all aspects of your life. The workouts are constantly changing - no boring routines here - we keep things interesting, challenging, and fun. Our members have reached goals in performance, weight loss, waist reduction, and general fitness.

Science is now showing just 20 minutes of high intensity workouts at least 3 times a week are enough to solicit physical adaptations in our muscular and hormonal systems. Additionally, by changing the exercises and the methods daily your body won't adapt to the training and will continually try to gain ground for the next session. There is no plateau in CrossFit, your degree of fitness is determined by how far you want to go.

Our goal is to increase your overall strength, endurance, and work capacity. Through our group and personal training programs, we take the guesswork out of working out. From the time you begin your warm-up until the workout is over, you will know exactly what you are supposed to be doing every time you train. Feel confident knowing that you are performing effective movements safely and efficiently, allowing you to perform better during any physical activity.

Our aspiration is for you to thrive, not just survive, at all aspects in your life, from nutrition and fitness to everyday life. Our gym is our home; we treat it as our own and care for it as such. Our box is our family, and we treat the athletes, coaches and visitors likewise, creating an environment that breeds confidence, fun and dedication.

If you're serious about your health and fitness, you owe it to yourself to check us out.

 

We are so confident you will see results with CrossFit,

We offer the first week FREE!

What We Do

World Class Training in a Home Gym Atmosphere: 

                                    

We provide world class training in our personal garage gym.  Holding classes at our home assures our class sizes remain small and allows for a more personalized training environment full of camaraderie and friendship.  

Our home gym will take you back to the days of working out with friends in an environment that is low stress, highly supportive, and welcoming; all with the  advantage of professional trainers monitoring your program at every step.

 

Nutritional Counseling:

We provide nutrition counseling that will not only make you healthier, but will prepare you to reach your peak level of performance. Our nutrition plan will get you on track for eating real food that is good as well as good for you. No diets, no gimmicks, no pills, just good - and good for you - food.

With almost two-thirds (61%) of American adults, 14% of children, and 12% of teens seriously overweight, nutrition is more important than ever. If you want a lean body and optimal performance, your body must have good fuel.  No exercise program can overcome poor nutrition.

Although proper nutrition is simple, the change needed in your nutritional habits may not be so easy. Joining an active community of individuals all working towards the same goal (better health for better living) will help you make the change.

 

Military, Police, Fire-fighters, Border Patrol, Athletes:

CrossFit Corona de Tucson offers an elite strength and conditioning program utilized by military, law enforcement, and fire fighters throughout the world. We use and implement CrossFit programming simply because we have found it to be the most effective way to produce elite fitness.

We strive to build and improve the following ten components of fitness: cardio-respiratory endurance, stamina, speed, strength, power, flexibility, coordination, agility, balance, and accuracy. We progress towards this through many different sports modalities, including but not limited to, Olympic lifting, kettlebell training, gymnastics, running and sprinting, climbing, rowing, and throwing.

Our program will not only promote a healthy, strong body and physique, but will also improve military PFT run times and scores as well as other assessments of physical aptitude.   Being in shape breeds confidence, which translates into quick, decisive, authoritative action that can mean the difference between life and death.

 

Whether you are an athlete trying to improve your power, speed and skill or someone who just wants to live life to the fullest without the restrictions of an unhealthy lifestyle, come in and see what our programming can do for you.

      


 

A STORY OF FUNCTIONAL FITNESS  

A great illustration of gradual functional fitness can be seen in the story of Milo, a six-time Greek Olympic wrestling gold medalist. As the story goes, Milo would train in the off years by carrying a newborn calf on his back every day until the Olympics took place. By the time of the actual event he was carrying a four year old cow.  

Moral of the Story:
Don't be in a functional fitness rush

Functional fitness describes a process, not an end result. Functional exercises guide you towards your goals and keep you fit for life, not just for now.
