THE FIT OF OUR POPULATION is A PHENOTYPICALLY DIFFERENT SPECIES THAN THE UNFIT.

The Birth of New Species

The premise for New Species CrossFit was born of a lecture given at a Crossfit Level I certification by Tony Budding.

In this lecture he cited a study showing the fit of our population as being a phenotypically different species than the unfit. From this thought, New Species was born. Our driving force is to be a stimulus inspiring our athletes and ourselves to evolve into something faster, stronger, more powerful…something better.

We strive to unleash the athlete living within each one of us, whether it be a 74 year old grandmother or a professional boxer. This evolution isn’t a theory; this is an evolution one can see, feel and measure. There is something greater in all of us waiting to get out. Our dragons are intertwined in a double helix to represent what is in each of our DNA, waiting to be unleashed.

The Method

Our coaching methodology is grounded in the original CrossFit principles developed by Greg Glassman—constantly varied, high-intensity functional movement designed to build broad-spectrum fitness that’s adaptable to any sport or life challenge. CrossFit’s focus on functional movement and varied training remains at the core of how we train athletes of all levels.

At the same time, New Species integrates the MetFix approach, a holistic extension of that methodology that emphasizes metabolic health, longevity, and lifestyle. MetFix builds on the foundations of CrossFit by pairing thoughtful movement with evidence-based nutrition and metabolic education. This combined framework not only improves performance but also helps address the root causes of chronic health issues.

In practice, that means we coach functional movement patterns executed with intent and scaled to your ability while also supporting members with metabolic health principles that enhance energy, recovery, and long-term wellbeing.
