CrossFit Glossary is a must-have for anyone who is just starting out in crossfit training. You can reach for it both before the first training, to know what the trainer is saying to us, as well as at a more advanced level - expanding your knowledge with new concepts.

In order for everyone to easily find the word that interests them, the terms in the crossfit dictionary have been divided into several groups: the most frequently used phrases, the equipment used and various types of exercises.
