CrossFit Select Team Development Program
CrossFit. You've seen it on ESPN; you've seen it endorsed by Reebok, and now you've seen it on "The Biggest loser"! Here’s what CrossFit is all about and how it can make a difference for your team.
CrossFit is a functional training program that will help to develop your team while players learn some valuable, life long fitness and nutrition tips. At CrossFit Select we improve all aspects of an athlete’s game in a high intensity atmosphere where athletes improve and have fun at the same time! Your program will be tailored to meet your team’s needs. All workouts will be led by certified CrossFit trainers who have years of experience as teachers and as athletes. At CrossFit Select we focus on competition, confidence and comraderie. Our high intensity, group atmosphere and supportive community are one of a kind!
“I like that the trainers are a mix of men and women. Both the men and women trainers at CrossFit Select have played competitive hockey and understand what is required to succeed. The women trainers are excellent role models for our daughters.”

“Running is an integral part of any training program for a variety of team sports. Most team sports are comprised of short bursts of maximal efforts. Train to perform at a higher intensity for longer durations with HIIT combinations of strength training and running.”
–J. Knox, Boston Marathoner and Ironman competitor-
At CrossFit Select your team will get fitter, get faster, get stronger!
But don’t just take our word for it…here’s what coaches, parents and players have to say about our Team Development Program.
COMPETITION - My daughter loves how the workouts are designed to create a competitive atmosphere…pushing her to do her best but at the same time working with her team mates and helping them to succeed. -father-
CONFIDENCE - Dryland training at CrossFit Select helps girls get stronger and this translates to more confidence when they are on the ice. Girls’ hockey is becoming more and more physical and the season is getting longer…between on ice practices, tournaments and regular season games, rep hockey teams are on the ice about 125 times. If your team has physical endurance and strength, you have a physical edge and CrossFit Select dryland training helps the girls get that edge. -F. Zoffranieri, Manager, Mississauga Chiefs-
The trainers at CrossFit Select push us and help us feel good about ourselves.

COMRADERIE - The girls have really bonded and the training here at CrossFit Select has helped them to come together even more as a team…the workouts and the atmosphere at CrossFit Select creates comraderie. Girls cheer each other on and they never leave their partner left alone to finish a workout.
-F. Zoffranieri, Manager, Mississauga Chiefs-
“As a coach, I like to see progress and at CrossFit Select they measure each girl’s progress at the beginning, mid point and end of the training block. The girls are also responsible on a weekly basis for charting their progress in the CrossFit journal. I like the accountability.”
