Making the Impossible, Possible!
At Mission CrossFit we believe in “Making the Impossible, Possible!” We believe that anyone, no matter their current physical condition, can be a fit Athlete. That through CrossFit, every one can have a long, healthy, active life, full of rich experiences. We believe that kids love to run, jump, and play, and thus love to exercise and be more athletic. We believe in achieving goals, daily.

We are located in a recently expanded 6400 square foot facility located on the Northwest corner of Alicia Parkway and Via Fabricante, approximately 1 mile east of the 5 Freeway. We take pride in our facility and equipment; as such, it is always in top-notch condition. Most importantly, at Mission CrossFit we have a great time working out and getting fit.

We want to spend our time on this earth unencumbered by sickness and able to tackle any challenge. That is why we CrossFit, and CrossFit enables every one of those goals.

We believe in enhancing an individual’s competency at all physical tasks. Our athletes are trained to perform successfully at multiple, diverse, and randomized physical challenges. Our CrossFit program is distinctive in its focus on maximizing neuroendocrine response, developing power, cross-training with multiple training modalities, constant training and practice with functional movements, and the development of successful diet strategies.
Our athletes are trained to bike, run, swim, and row at short, middle, and long distances guaranteeing exposure and competency in each of the three main metabolic pathways.
We train our athletes in gymnastics from rudimentary to advanced movements garnering great capacity at controlling the body both dynamically and statically while maximizing strength to weight ratio and flexibility. We also place a heavy emphasis on Olympic Weightlifting having seen this sport’s unique ability to develop an athletes’ explosive power, control of external objects, and mastery of critical motor recruitment patterns. And finally we encourage and assist our athletes to explore a variety of sports as a vehicle to express and apply their fitness.
At this point you’re probably thinking, “Great! but what does this all mean?”
Essentially this all means that our program will prepare you for all the physical demands life throws at you. We’re not a specialized program that focusses on one thing. With a specialized program, like training for a marathon, marathoners focus on one thing, running. Running, long distances at one speed actually. These athletes are likely to be not very strong. Now Weightlifters, however can probably lift very heavy weights, but they more likely than not can’t run long distances. So are these two types of athletes truly fit? Hmm……
With CrossFit, we intend to you make you good at every fitness modality. You might not be the fastest runner or the strongest weightlifter, but you will be fast and you will be strong, making you ready for anything.
