  • wall ball

    The wall ball is a classic CrossFit movement that combines a front squat and an explosive throw, targeting your legs, shoulders, and lungs in one fluid motion. It’s a staple in any high-intensity wall ball workout, known for quickly elevating your heart rate.

    In this workout, wall balls build endurance, coordination, and full-body power. Whether you're using a 10 or 20 lb ball, this simple movement delivers serious results — especially when the reps start adding up.

  • T2B

    Toes to bar is a powerful gymnastics movement that targets your core, grip, lats, and hip flexors, making it a key element in many high-intensity toes to bar workouts.

    In this workout, toes to bar challenge your core strength, rhythm, and coordination while under fatigue. Whether you're kipping or going strict, it’s an essential skill for improving gymnastics capacity and midline control in CrossFit.

  • Burpee

    The burpee is a simple, full-body movement that combines a squat, plank, and jump into one explosive exercise. It’s a staple in nearly every burpee workout thanks to its ability to build cardio endurance, coordination, and mental toughness — fast.

    In this workout, burpees spike your heart rate, challenge your engine, and require no equipment. Whether you're doing them over a bar, onto a target, or just flat out, burpees are a true test of grit and conditioning.

  • power clean

    The power clean is a fast, explosive lift that develops full-body strength, speed, and coordination. A staple in Olympic lifting and functional fitness, it’s central to many high-intensity power clean workouts.

    In this workout, power cleans train your hip extension, pulling power, and barbell control, making them ideal for improving athletic performance and barbell cycling. Whether done heavy or for reps, the power clean is key for building functional power and explosiveness.
