History
SHIELD CrossFit's founders are two local firefighters who met at a CrossFit gym. When they realized how their professional and personal lives changed when they committed to a new workout style, it wasn't enough to talk to family and friends about Crossfit-they realized they needed to open their own place to bring the CrossFit experience to others. SHIELD CrossFit begin to offer free work-outs at a local park every weekend from January-June 2013. Because paperwork was still underway with the city of Covina, we begin to introduce our friends, family, and community members to CrossFit and to SHIELD. Thankfully, along with the community we grew, SHIELD opened its official business doors on June 22, 2013.
Specialties
Our program delivers a fitness that is, by design, broad, general, and inclusive. Our specialty is not specializing, but focusing on mobility, strength and tools we need to remain healthy and fit. Our CrossFit program is designed for universal scalability making it the perfect application for any committed individual regardless of experience. We've used our same routines for elderly individuals with heart disease and cage fighters one month out from televised bouts. We scale load and intensity; we dont change programs. The needs of Olympic athletes and our grandparents differ by degree not kind. Our mountain bike riders, working parents, ex-athletes, aunts, uncles and more have found their best fitness from the same regimen.
