High Intensity

High Intensity is often the misinterpreted piece of CrossFit.

At CrossFit Manitowoc, we believe that not every day is a “redline” kind of day. We believe in deload and active recovery weeks. We believe in listening to our bodies and putting safety first no matter what. We believe you know when to push yourself and when to take it easy. We discourage careless, thoughtless movements and mechanics. We actively coach and train athletes in every group class.

There is time for high intensity and exploring what you are capable of, but that comes after mechanics are established.

Leading all our new members through an Intro Series of 6 classes, we teach movements and mechanics in small group settings. If you are interested in learning more, click on the link to “Get Started” with a Free Intro Workout.
