About MCCF
Motor City Crossfit offers safe, but highly effective Crossfit training to people of all ages and fitness levels. People quickly find that Crossfit isn’t your normal workout routine, it’s a sport in itself. You’ll learn a lot about yourself at your first few sessions, both physically and mentally. Crossfit has a habit of exposing weaknesses in even the most elite athletes. Uncorrected weaknesses can have a variety of consequences. For one person it may only limit their ultimate potential; for another it may leave them unable to fully function when they reach old age; and for others like police officers, it may risk their life or the lives of innocent people. The good news is, Crossfit corrects those weaknesses very quickly.
We operate on principles exactly opposite from the normal “big box” type gym. In the traditional gym, their best customers are the ones who pay for a year’s membership, show up three times, and never come back. Here at Motor City Crossfit, we don’t want you to pay us to not show up, the only way we succeed is by helping you get into better shape than you ever thought possible. And the journey to get there is a stinkin’ riot.
Each and every individual at Motor City Crossfit gets professional coaching to ensure they are safely and efficiently performing movements correctly, so that they can develop themselves as effectively as possible. Workouts are scaled so that a 23 year old Navy SEAL can perform them and still get his butt kicked, while his grandmother that he brought to the class two weeks ago can do the same workout with slightly different movements, a slower pace, and lighter weight. Then, when grandma improves her times more than her grandson, she can egg him on about not being able to keep up with granny.
Any fitness program must be evaluated by three criteria:
1) Safety – The ability to both avoid injury while taking part in the program, AND its ability to prevent injury while doing other activities.
2) Effectiveness – The results it produces.
3) Efficiency – How long it takes to produce those results.
Come measure us by those three standards. We can just about guarantee we’ll kick anyone else out there’s butt on all three. But just in case you aren’t convinced, don’t stop working out, here’s a list of other fitness facilities in the area that may give you what you want, go try them out:

Just so you know, in our place, you won’t find any plasma TV’s so you can watch TV while doing a “workout”. If you can pay attention to a television while you’re doing a workout, you’re either wasting your time or you better be on a rest day and just doing “active rest”. Obviously, we don’t subscribe to the “30 minutes of light cardio at x% heart rate theory. I wish it worked better than Crossfit, because it’s a heck of a lot easier, but who said getting in the best shape of your life was supposed to be easy?
