About Us

Who we are

CrossFit Adaptation is a 6,000 square foot fitness coaching facility and dynamic fitness community located in the heart of Shirlington in Arlington, VA. We offer group and individual coaching via the CrossFit methodology. CrossFit workouts are comprised of constantly varied, functional movements, performed at a high intensity. Our natural, primal movements largely influence the movements we perform in our workouts. Challenges in life can be unforeseeable. We train for this by keeping our workouts broad and constantly varied, infusing multiple functional movements performed at a high intensity.

What we do

So what does that mean? It means that at CrossFit Adaptation you will not find rows of treadmills and weight machines. Instead you will find pull up bars, kettlebells, barbells and a lot of open space for squatting, running, jumping, lifting and throwing – moving your body the way it is meant to be moved. All of your workouts will be comprised of exercises that mimic movements performed in day-to-day life or sports. These functional movements are necessary and common in your daily activities regardless of your background.

It also means that you will never get bored. With our constantly varied programming you will rarely do the same workout twice in any 6 month period. You’ll never have to program your own workouts or spend hours in the gym. Instead, each day a workout will be provided for you (WOD – Workout of the Day) that is scalable to your fitness level. Because our sessions are rarely longer than 40 minutes, they can fit easily into even the busiest of 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 fitness and restored vitality.
