Get your Crossfit on!


Bodycomp has been busy lately with Crossfit body composition challenges. Although your percent fat and muscle mass are not the only measurements of fitness and athletic performance, they definitely play a big role. We all require a certain amount of fat to stay healthy and perform well, but excess fat above the essential levels mostly just slows you down and elevates your risk of disease. This is why we are happy to be involved with Crossfit Bodycomp challenges.

We are going to be performing follow-up scans on 75 fitness keeners at Crossfit.ca (clark & 2nd ave, Vancouver) from December 6th-9th with prizes going to those individuals with the highest percent gain of muscle and also to those with the best percent reduction in body fat.

We also have a January challenge starting with the fine folks at Crossfit BC Yaletown. This challenge will be in a similar format but with 6 months between the baseline and the final scan. This will allow for some more dramatic transformations and prevent people from trying to beat the contest with short term changes. Good body composition requires regular visits to the gym and a consistent diet. We'll be getting started in Yaletown in early january - check in at crossfitbc.com for all the details.
