How We Help You Stay Active
You hike, ski, surf, run, or play pickleball. You're not starting from zero. You're already moving. CrossFit is the system that makes sure you can keep moving - better, stronger, and without breaking down.
You're active. But something's missing.
You go for runs a couple times a week. You hit the trails on weekends. You ski all winter or surf all summer. You're doing the things you love.
But here's what you've probably noticed:
It's inconsistent. Some weeks you're on fire. Other weeks life gets in the way and you disappear for 10 days.
It's unbalanced. You're strong at the thing you do most—but everything else feels harder than it should.
It's wearing you down. Your lower back hurts after a day on the mountain. Your knees complain after a long run. You're not recovering like you used to.
You're active. But without structure, strength work, and intentional recovery, you're one injury away from losing the thing you love.
That's the gap CrossFit fills.
CrossFit isn't about becoming a gym rat.
It's about staying an active person - for life.
Despite what you might have heard, here's what CrossFit actually is:
It's organized fitness that makes your outdoor life better.
You don't come to Harpoon to become an athlete. You come here to stay strong enough to do what you already love - hiking with a loaded pack, keeping up with your kids on the slopes, paddling out without your shoulders burning, running without your knees giving out.
CrossFit is the system that builds the strength, mobility, and endurance you need so the things you love don't break you down.
The Three Principles of CrossFit:
#2: Move Naturally
We believe fitness should be more like life - more picking things up and putting them overhead, more chasing, more getting ourselves off the ground.
If it's going to happen at home or on the job site or on the side of a mountain, we want to practice it in the gym.
This is why CrossFit uses functional movements: squats, deadlifts, presses, pull-ups, rows.
These aren't arbitrary exercises. They're the patterns your body was designed to do. And when you get strong at these movements, everything else in life gets easier.
#1: Have Fun
We believe endless repetitions of the same mindless exercises aren't a recipe for success. That's why every day in the gym challenges us with different movements and a variety of tests.
You don't do bicep curls on a machine three times a week. You lift, jump, row, run, climb, throw, and carry.
Every workout is different.
Every workout prepares you for something you might actually do in real life—or on the trail.
#3: Work Hard
We believe that good things come to anyone willing to put in the effort.
Simply put, getting stronger, staying mobile, and maintaining the body you need to do what you love all require getting a bit uncomfortable.
We embrace that.
But here's the key:
You work hard in the gym so you can work sustainably outside the gym.
You don't beat yourself into the ground. You build a body that can handle decades of adventure without falling apart.
What it Looks Like In Practice:
CrossFit is strength training, gymnastics, and metabolic conditioning combined into constantly varied workouts.
🏋🏽♀️ Strength training: You'll lift barbells, dumbbells, and kettlebells. You'll squat, deadlift, press, and pull. This lays the foundation for staying injury-free and capable.
🤸🏿♀️ Gymnastics: You'll work on pull-ups, push-ups, handstands, and core strength. This develops body control, flexibility, and functional strength that translates to everything you do outside the gym.
🏃🏽♂️ Metabolic conditioning: You'll row, run, bike, and do interval work that builds your engine. This is your cardio - but done in a way that doesn't damage your joints or erode your muscles.
Every workout blends these elements differently. One day, you might do heavy back squats followed by a rowing interval. Another day, you might work on handstands and finish with a run and kettlebell swings.
You don't have to be fit to start. But you do need to know how to start.
Every workout is adjusted so everyone can complete a version of it.
The experienced athlete and the first-timer work out side by side - because we modify the movements, weights, and intensity to meet you where you are.
An elite athlete might do pull-ups. You might do ring rows. Someone might back squat 200 pounds. You might use 45 pounds. Someone might run 400 meters in 90 seconds. You might jog it in three minutes.
The workout is the same. The dose is different.
This is how a 22-year-old former college athlete and a 55-year-old runner train in the same class - and both get exactly what they need.
And for new members, we start you with The Sea Legs Program: four private coaching sessions that teach you the movements, the language, and the pace.
By the time you walk into your first group class, you're not figuring it out on the fly - you're confident, prepared, and ready to belong.
Active humans are happy humans.
You already know this. You know that your best days are the days you move. The days you hike, ski, surf, run, or play. The days you feel strong and capable.
CrossFit doesn't change that. CrossFit protects it.
Why? The things you love to do require strength, mobility, and endurance. And if you don't intentionally build and maintain those things, your body will eventually say no.
Your knees will hurt. Your back will tighten up. You'll lose the explosiveness you had five years ago. And one day, you'll realize you can't do the thing you love anymore - not because you got older, but because you didn't stay strong enough.
CrossFit is the system that keeps you strong enough.
It's three or four days a week in the gym, so you can do what you love the rest of the week. It's intentional strength work so your body can handle the unintentional chaos of adventure. It's building a foundation so you can keep hiking, skiing, surfing, playing - not just this year, but for the next 30.
What Success Looks Like
Imagine two years from now.
You're still hiking the same trails - but with a heavier pack and less soreness afterward.
You're still skiing the same mountains - but with stronger legs and better balance.
You're still running the same routes - but faster and without your knees screaming at you.
You look at people your age who are slowing down, complaining about their backs, saying they "used to" do the things you're still doing. And you realize: the difference isn't genetics. It's that you put in the work.
You spent three or four hours a week in the gym so you could spend the rest of your life doing what you love.
That's what CrossFit gives you.
Ready to Get Started?
We're not trying to convince you to love the gym.
We're trying to help you keep loving the life you already live - injury-free, strong, and capable - for as long as possible.
