Our Vision
To be recognized as a leader in providing health and fitness solutions to Lake Wylie residents and surrounding communities.
The Mission
At CrossFit Lake Wylie our mission is to improve the health and wellbeing of the people in our community because we want people to maintain their independence and live long, active and healthy lives. We do this by providing nutrition, sleep, and recovery education and by helping people achieve their fitness goals with CrossFit training.
Core Values
Excellence
We hold high standards and strive for excellence in all we do as we pursue our goals.
Integrity
We say and do the right thing, even when it’s hard.
Caring
We treat each other with respect, kindness, generosity, and empathy.
Community
We encourage a fun, diverse and positive community where everyone can be successful.
We focus on improving functional movements that are necessary and common in your daily activities.
It also means that you will never get bored. While we do on occasion repeat workouts, with our constantly varied programming the vast majority of workouts will be something different each time you come into the gym.
You will also never have to program your own workouts or spend hours in the gym. Instead, each day a workout will be provided for you that is scalable to suit your fitness level. And because every class is only 60 minutes long, they can fit into even the busiest schedules.
Our fitness programming aims to improve your capacity in ten recognized fitness domains cardio-respiratory endurance, stamina, strength, flexibility, power, speed, coordination, agility, balance and accuracy. The result is comprehensive physical fitness and restored vitality.
What does all that mean for you?
It means you don’t have to be in shape before you can start CrossFit Lake Wylie. We work people of all ages, sizes, and ability levels. Our coaches will tailor the WOD (workout of the day) to meet you at your current level of fitness.
All we ask from you is to commit to “Trusting the Process” and we will provide the motivation, the expertise, and a welcoming community to help you accomplish your goals.
