In short...No!
 
In CrossFit we do not train to build muscle (Hypertrophy training). We train to be rounded in as many aspects of fitness as possible. Have you ever seen a bodybuilder run 5k? It's not pretty! Our aim is to let your body take its natural athletic shape through many aspects of training including running, rowing, skipping, weightlifting and so much more. You may have seen the "Games Athletes" on social media but what you need to remember is that these guys and girls who do this full time for a living. We do it to keep fit, healthy and active.
