CrossFit Delmon

CrossFit Delmon is Bahrain’s first CrossFit Affiliate providing a strength and conditioning program based on constantly varied, functional movements executed at high intensity.

The beauty of CrossFit is that all workouts and movements are universally scalable which means that anyone can workout regardless of current ability.

What is truly unique about CrossFit Delmon is that unlike other gyms or fitness programs who claim to make you “fitter”, Crossfit Delmon doesn’t throw around the word “Fit” lightly. They clearly define fitness and very specifically measure it, ensuring progress, increased General Physical Preparedness (“GPP”), and ultimately being ready for the unknown and unknowable. Additionally, they have a strong community, driven by a desire to succeed at life.
