Our Mission

CrossFit West Essex is not a typical gym. We are New Jersey’s Elite Fitness Facility specializing in teaching the CrossFit standards of “fitness”, “health” and “athleticism.” Our fitness, being “CrossFit”, comes through molding men and women that are equal parts gymnast, Olympic weightlifter, and multi-modal sprinter or “sprintathlete.” CrossFit West Essex strives to break away from the current, flawed fitness model we see so prevalent in America. You will not find mirrors, universal machines, or disinterested staff. What you will find are all the tools necessary to build elite levels of fitness, and trainers committed to get you there. At CrossFit West Essex barbells, dumbbells, rowers, kettle bells, wall balls, rings, pull-up bars, and other fundamental fitness tools are used within artful programming to constantly challenge and push you to exceed even your own expectations. Of course, the greatest key to your success is you. Achieving elite levels of fitness is a process that takes time, determination, and the watchful eye of our dedicated staff of coaches. Whatever your fitness level is today and whatever your fitness goals may be, we are here to help and guide you every step of the way.  CrossFit West Essex is not only dedicated to forging your elite fitness, but having fun while doing it.  CrossFit has no equal in its ability to create a sense community and friendship amongst it’s participants.

We feel our Coach, Greg Glassman said it best.

The Magic is in the Movement,
The Art is in the Programming,
The Science is in the Explanation,
And the Fun is in the Community.

WHAT IS CROSSFIT?

World-Class Fitness in 100 Words:
Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and no sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise but not body fat. Practice and train major lifts: Deadlift, clean, squat, presses, C&J, and snatch. Similarly, master the basics of gymnastics: pull-ups, dips, rope climb, push-ups, sit-ups, presses to handstand, pirouettes, flips, splits, and holds. Bike, run, swim, row, etc, hard and fast. Five or six days per week mix these elements in as many combinations and patterns as creativity will allow. Routine is the enemy. Keep workouts short and intense. Regularly learn and play new sports.
