At CrossFit Stony Brook we guarantee we can help you improve in your sport.  Most sports have specific training protocols that athletes use.  These programs are centered on the tasks the athlete needs to perform in their specific sport. This tends to lead to weaknesses in areas that aren’t directly linked to it.  We have found by improving all aspects of your general physical preparedness or GPP you will improve in of your sport.  At CrossFit Stony Brook we track your cardiovascular/respiratory endurance, stamina, strength, flexibility, power, speed, coordination, agility, balance, and accuracy.  Our trainers will help you discover any area you may be weaker in and help you address it.  They will evaluate your current training program and help you incorporate CrossFit, taking special care to prevent overtraining or injury. 

Endurance Athletes

Do you want to run a fast 5K, 10K half or Full Marathon?  Do you bike or swim? Do bi’s and Tri’s?  At CrossFit Stony Brook we have trainers that are experienced runners, bikers and endurance athletes.   They have trained for and competed in many events like the Marine Corp Marathon, Philadelphia Marathon, the North Face Endurance Challenge and many others. We guarantee we can help you run, bike, swim, row faster.  Many endurance athletes tend to lack strength or power; this comes from their tendency to work “cardio” more than lift weights.  We will look at the way you train and your volume and add the appropriate amount of CrossFit training to improve your times.  Most runners (for example) don’t really enjoy lifting weight, they like to run.  Don’t worry, the workouts we give you aren’t the typical weight lifting exercises that are boring, and many of them will feel like “cardio”.  Some endurance athletes already “hit the weights”, we can help you too. 

Team Sports

Do you play football, soccer, rugby, hockey, basketball or another team sport?  CrossFit is a great tool to help you improve in your sport.  CrossFit is easy to adjust during for the season, pre-season, on season and off season.  We can ratchet up the training during the offseason to make larger gains, then taper it down during the season and work on conditioning.  This will help prevent injury and improve performance. 

Individual Sports

Do you play a sport where it is you out there on your own competing against another athlete?  Unlike team sports it’s your abilities that make all the difference.  You need to be faster, stronger and more coordinated then your opponent.  You need to be sharper mentally and more prepared to for anything.  When it comes to a match or competition you often get delayed or don’t know when your going to start, you get stuck sitting around waiting for long periods of time.  Does any of this sound familiar?  At CrossFit Stony Brook we will prepare you for all these situations.  We do workouts in the heat and the cold, we do workouts that are hard and fast and one that just keep going.  You have to push yourself through them and some will get harder as you go.  All this will help prepare you for the grueling nature of your matches.  You will be stronger than your opponent, both mentally and physically.  As with all athletes we will also insure our program address any weakness you have and constantly evaluate your training/competition schedule.
