Crossfit El Paso

Though Encore Crossfit’s certified trainers come from diverse athletic backgrounds—Fernanda Magaña is a personal trainer and weightlifter, and Cristobal Chavez is a professional gymnast and martial artist—they have one thing in common: a passion for the CrossFit program's blend of varied, functional movements. Workouts change from day to day, but often incorporate running, jumping, pressing objects over the head, deadlifting, and rowing—all deemed "functional" exercises because they focus on movements that the body does naturally. In their expansive fitness center, barbells, pull-up bars, kettlebells, and plyo boxes take the place of typical gym staples such as cardio machines and cardboard cutouts of Mr. T. Each workout of the day (WOD) is scalable to suit any level of fitness, and instructors further help their clients reach fitness goals with nutrition guidance.
