CrossFit Camp Eggers

Click the link above to see our video from this event! Fight Gone Bad is an annual CrossFit fundraiser where CrossFitters around the world push themselves through the strenuous Fight Gone Bad workout. FGB consists of 3 rounds of the following: 1 minute of Wall Ball Squats, 1 minute of Sumo Deadlift High Pulls, 1 minute of Box Jumps, 1 minute of Push Press, 1 minute of Rowing, and 1 minute of rest. Add your total reps for each round to get your final score. This year’s event raised money for the Wounded Warrior Project, the Livestrong Foundation, and the CrossFit Foundation. CrossFit Camp Eggers had 19 registered participants, and raised a total of $9700, dedicating our efforts to the Wounded Warriors! For a gym with little-to-no equipment and a LOT of creativity to make the WODs work, we are pretty excited about this huge accomplishment during FGB5.

CrossFit Camp Eggers was created to enhance the overall fitness of the warriors deployed to Camp Eggers in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. With limited space, run routes, and equipment, CrossFit is the perfect alternative for cardio and endurance on Camp Eggers. CrossFit is not a specialized fitness program but a deliberate attempt to optimize physical competence in each of ten recognized fitness domains. They are Cardiovascular and Respiratory endurance, Stamina, Strength, Flexibility, Power, Speed, Coordination, Agility, Balance, and Accuracy.

The CrossFit prescription is “constantly varied, high intensity,
functional movement.” Functional movements
are universal motor recruitment patterns; they are
performed in a wave of contraction from core to
extremity; and they are compound movements—i.e.,
they are multi-joint. They are natural, effective, and
efficient locomotors of body and external objects. But
no aspect of functional movements is more important
than their capacity to move large loads over long
distances, and to do so quickly. Collectively, these three
attributes (load, distance, and speed) uniquely qualify functional movements for the production of high power.

Intensity is defined exactly as power, and intensity is the independent variable most commonly associated with maximizing favorable adaptation to exercise. Recognizing that the breadth and depth of a program’s stimulus will determine the breadth and depth of the adaptation it elicits, our prescription of functionality and intensity is constantly varied. We believe that preparation for random physical challenges—i.e., unknown and unknowable events—is at odds with fixed, predictable, and routine regimens.

In implementation, CrossFit is, quite simply, a sport—the “sport of fitness.” We’ve learned that harnessing the natural camaraderie, competition, and fun of sport or game yields an intensity that cannot be matched by other means.

CrossFit increases work capacity across broad time and modal domains. This is a discovery of great import and has come to motivate our programming and refocus our efforts. This far-reaching increase in work capacity supports our initially stated aims of building a broad, general, and inclusive fitness program.

CrossFit can be scaled and modified to meet the abilities and skill levels of every individual. "Check your Ego at the Door" and see for yourself why CrossFit is so addictive!
