No. This is definitely not Crossfit.
We do incorporate high-intensity-interval-training into our programming, but we focus on skill development and mobility.
At Crossfit, every day is a high-intensity day. I think this can promote overtraining. At Fifth Ape, we have a few high intensity workouts every week and focus more on strength and skill work.
Don't get me wrong - Crossfit is great. We all owe Crossfit a great debt for democrotizing olympic lifting and for completely changing the conversation in the fitness industry.
Someone once described Fifth Ape as the yin to Crossfit's yang. I think that's pretty fitting. Crossfit is all about training, we're more about practice.
