What does Meshugge mean?

Meshugge CrossFit at The J carries on the spirit and foundation of the original CrossFit, but with our own unique spin. “Meshugge” is Yiddish for “crazy,” so if you’ve been looking for a CrossFit near you that knows how to dial up the energy and positivity to insane levels – you’ve come to the right place.

Our Meshugge CrossFit gym incorporates a variety of weightlifting, calisthenics, and cardiovascular exercises that can be modified and customized to accommodate any fitness level or physical need.

The thing that members love about Meshugge CrossFit at The J is that our community thrives on a positive vibe. You won’t find a CrossFit in Kansas City that is more supportive or inclusive. We lift each other up to rise to new challenges.

What to Expect from a Typical CrossFit Gym Class

Meshugge CrossFit classes typically last one hour. At the start of class, your coach will gather all attendees at the whiteboard to break down what the hour will consist of and provide an overview of the WOD (Workout of the Day). The WOD combines strength training and cardiovascular conditioning by using both body weight and/or weighted exercises performed either in blocks of time or by the number of repetitions.

Next, your coach will explain the scaling options for the exercises. Scaling options allow participants at different fitness and ability levels to engage in the class at their own pace.

Finally, your coach will guide the class through a general warm-up, then a workout-specific warm-up, then the main workout. Meshugge CrossFit workouts consist of weightlifting, gymnastics, and metabolic conditioning in varying combinations. No two classes are the same to ensure your workout is dynamic and challenging.

Once the main workout concludes, your coach will lead you through a cool-down and the clean-up process to get the CrossFit gym ready for the next class.
