One of CrossFit’s core principles is:
Mechanics → Consistency → Intensity
You’ve probably heard it before—but what does it actually mean?

There are plenty of gyms offering instructor-led classes with HIIT training and functional movement programs—so what makes Middle Path CrossFit stand out? Deep Coaching & Class Structure – Many CrossFit gyms offer scaling options, but we go beyond simply verbalizing modifications.

Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced athlete, you’ll walk in knowing exactly what to do, and you’ll walk out knowing you got one step stronger.
