Best CrossFit Studios In Minnesota
CrossFit is a fitness program that has taken the world by storm with nearly 5,000 affiliated gyms in the United States alone. CrossFit workouts are typically 20 minutes or less and entail intense amounts of physical exertion to strengthen and condition. Activities usually include kettlebells, weight lifting, climbing rope and sprinting, among other things. These activities are combined into various combinations for 'WODs' or 'Workout of the Day.' The WOD is carried out in class or posted daily on the company's website for individuals practicing CrossFit to get in a workout without necessarily coming into the studio. If you are interested in finding a CrossFit studio, look no further as five of the best in Minnesota are listed here.
