We pride ourselves in giving our members more than just a good workout here at CrossFit Harpoon, because we know that it’s not enough to strengthen just the body. To be truly healthy, we believe you have to strengthen the whole person – physically, mentally, and emotionally.
We do that by striving to help you:
EMBRACE MOVEMENT
We want to teach you how to choose the active life everywhere you can. We want you to thrive not only in the gym, but also on the mountain, in the water, with your kids in the backyard, and at the end of a long workday. What we do here may start in the gym, but it never ends there.
BUILD habits
Create connections
CrossFit isn’t for everybody, but it absolutely can be for anybody.
