I’ve heard CrossFit is dangerous and my doctor/therapist says I should avoid it because I’ve been prone to injury in the past.. is this true?

All physical training programs come with the risk of injury. That being said, CrossFit is no more dangerous than any other fitness routine. And it’s certainly better than no program at all. Our number one priority is to make sure our athletes reach their PEAK potential while taking long term overall health and fitness into account. Injuring yourself is counterproductive to this.

CrossFit West Houston has protocols to ensure safety procedures. First step is the Movement Screen in your first session. Second step is the Level Method which has 4 Core Elements that have built in safety features that prevent you from doing things before you are structurally prepared. CrossFit West Houston has professionals on site to assist you with prehab/rehab too!

There are lots of CrossFit gyms out there, which one is right for me?

We encourage anyone seeking out a CrossFit, or any other fitness, program to do their homework. Every gym has its own personality, culture, focus and training philosophy. You should choose a program that is right for you and is something you can stick with. Which means it’s convenient, comfortable and doable for you.

I’m an athlete and I want to improve at my chosen sport. Can CrossFit help me with that?

That depends. CrossFit is a broad and general fitness program. Sports have specific needs and limiting factors that should be addressed. CrossFit West Houston has a variety of coaches with a diverse educational background that can address specific sport needs via private 1 on 1 or small group training and programming
