CrossFit is a trademarked company that has introduced an incredibly intense and effective way to get fitter to the world. Almost every CrossFit workout program is high-intensity and functional. CrossFit has evolved and gotten bigger with more people signing up in CrossFit boxes over the years, the CrossFit equivalent of a gym. They even have an annual CrossFit Games competition, their version of the Olympics, Eugene Bernshtam adds.

Unlike CrossFit, cross-training is more of a concept. The philosophy behind it is that if a person combines two forms of exercise, they become more efficient at both. An example would be a person who plays basketball and swims. He trains in the pool to increase his cardio and respiratory capacities. According to Eugene Bernshtam, competing in a sport like football, and doing CrossFit to get stronger and faster at football, is also considered cross-training.
