About CrossFit USA Gym of Berlin, CT

Crossfit USA, founded in 2008 by Merle McKenzie, is a school of human movement dedicated to helping individuals achieve an elite level of physical performance. We are a principal strength and conditioning program utilizing olympic and power lifts, gymnastics, and calesthenics in constantly varied functional movements performed at high intensity.

Crossfit is at the center of a fitness movement designed to help everyday people regain a true, comprehensive level of functional fitness. At Crossfit USA you will find a challenging, fun, results-oriented program presented in a cutting-edge facility. Our facility was designed with true fitness in mind. We are not an over-crowded gym overpacked with rows of useless equipment designed, not for fitness, but to house as many bodies as possible to increase gym revenue.

At Crossfit USA, we actually care if you get fit and we measure your fitness daily by virtue of the times/scores of your workouts. Ask your current gym if they do this and if they can give you a solid definition of what fitness is.

To be considered truly fit at Crossfit USA, we believe you need to have a program that develops the following 10 criteria: Strength, Power, Speed, Coordination, Flexibility, Balance, Endurance, Stamina, Cardiovascular Capability, Agility, and Accuracy. If your current gym cannot explain these domains to you or does not develop these qualities, then you are not working within a system designed to make you truly fit. At Crossfit USA, you will find a group of dedicated individuals working together toward a common goal. The people here will become your friends and extended family. You will come to depend on their support to help you through tough workouts, and you, in return, will support them.

Our goal is to achieve an elite level of fitness, and the tools we use are hard work and determination. This program is suitable for elite level athletes, military, LEO, and FD, as well as stay-at-home moms and grandmothers. We scale the exercises; we don't change the program. At Crossfit USA, all you need is desire and effort--we will supply the rest!
