What is CrossFit MCAS Yuma?

CrossFit MCAS Yuma was started by Sgt Jason Gipper and Cpl John Underwood on MCAS Yuma. It is a non-profit organization that is not associated with the Department of Defense, the United States Marine Corps, or MCAS Yuma. It is the beginning of something great. The two Marines were introduced into a new idea of what fitness and overall health REALLY is. CrossFit. Their goal is to educate and help physically train Marines and family members aboard Marine Corps Air Station Yuma.

Physical performance is going to be documented and based off a series of movements and a total overall power output. This is not a bodybuilding program or a “look good at the beach in a week” program. We are more interested in developing you as a healthy “athlete”. Do not let the word “athlete” confuse or scare you. This program can easily be scaled to meet the needs of kids, mothers, and grandparents. Along with the physical training that will be done, we can also give guidance on changes that can be made in your daily lives to improve your nutrition and wellbeing.

I would like to state that this program is NOT for everyone. Some will see it as being too over the top while others will realize through their own achievements how this program can work for them. If you would like to know if this program is for you, email, call, or simply stop by during one of our workouts. The daily workout will be posted on the main site the night before with the time and place that it will be done. Best of luck to all of you.
