Today the most common picture of fitness is seen in a gym where about half the guests are concerned with watching their efforts in the mirrors and the other half try is trying to take their minds of what they are actually there for, by watching a programme on one of the numerous TV´s. This idea of being fit is linked to appearance rather than performance.
How is this? The view held in these centers is one of isolation and division. Isolation of muscle groups and division of work into aerobic and anaerobic activity. When speaking of fitness it is crucial to understand and acknowledge that there is a direct correlation between discomfort and outcome.
At Rooftop Gym we are dedicated to true fitness. To us Crossfit is a representation of true fitness. This is achieved by focusing on functional movements executed at high intensity. We understand functional movements as movements performed in the gym that transfers directly to everyday situations. The squat is one such movement. We teach this and eight other functional movements that together form the foundations for true fitness. In our gym there are no mirrors, no televisions just as there is no lounge area. Instead you will find barbells and weightdiscs, a pull-up bar, gymnastic rings, a wooden boxes and bags filled with sand. Through a thorough instruction you will find out why these simple instruments are far superior to any machines.
