01.What Is Crossfit?

CrossFit is elite fitness for everyone. Our classes and private coaching are based on the CrossFit program originally developed by legendary coach Greg Glassman after his many years of watching, working with, and coaching all types of people - from those merely interested in general fitness to elite athletes.


CrossFit workouts are comprised of constantly varied functional movements (like pushing, pulling, squatting, lifting, running) executed at high intensity. At Colombo CrossFit, you will not find any machines - instead, you will find kettlebells, barbells, medicine balls, sleds, and tons of open space for running, jumping, climbing, lifting, and throwing. The workouts themselves are completely scalable, which means that a new participant and a CrossFit veteran can complete the same workout with changes in load and intensity. CrossFit workouts will deliver phenomenal fitness in and of themselves or as a complement to your sport-specific training regime.

02.Is Cross Fit Right For Me?

If you are someone who


• Is looking to get in shape but can’t face going to a gym

• Has lost interest in your gym routine

• Thinks you don’t have time to exercise

• Is looking to get faster or stronger in your sport

• Is no longer seeing results with your current training regime, OR Just plain wants to look good in a bathing suit


Then CrossFit is for YOU. Our classes take place at our beautiful warehouse in the Pelawatta. Every workout is different, and since you will rarely do the same thing twice, you are less likely to lose interest or get bored than if you were doing the same circuits at the gym three days a week. Because our workouts are rarely more than 45 minutes long they can fit into even the busiest schedules. Perhaps most importantly, since we opened our doors in March 2017, our athletes have seen dramatic changes in their speed, strength, performance, and body composition.

"SUCCESS DOESN'T COME FROM WHAT YOU DO OCCASIONALLY. IT COMES FROM WHAT YOU DO CONSISTENTLY."
