Here is some information and pictures of the inside of Alchemy CrossFit, the Hamilton region’s premier CrossFit and functional training facility. We have everything you need to improve your fitness along all 10 physical skills including Plyometric equipment, Rowers, Dumbbells, KettleBells, Barbells, Bumper Plates, and much much more. What you won’t find is a bunch of shiny chrome machines designed to dazzle you with their appearance but of no practical use.

  Dynamic stretching
  By Monica Mark
  Staff Reporter
  Play almost any sport at any level and chances are you will be called to stretch beforehand. The typical routine is well-known and widespread: Reach for your toes, hold the stretch for 10 or 15 or 30 seconds, release and move on to another muscle. It [...]
Satisfied Clients
My name is Janet. I am a 47 year old who has been enjoying Adam Morden and his CrossFit classes for almost 2 years now! I am also fortunate that Adam was able to do some training with my teenage son Jayden. Following are the reasons I love Adam and CrossFit: Adam is one of the most enthusiastic fun people I have ever met. His enthusiasm is contagious and I find CrossFit really enjoyable. Even though it is a very challenging workout I love going.Adam is extremely knowledgeable. My son Jayden has some health issues that may effect his heart. When Adam trained Jayden I felt comfortable knowing that Adam knew how to keep exercise safe for Jayden. What he didn't know he researched. He goes above and beyond expectations. Jayden looked forward to working out with Adam. His goal was to improve his football skills and speed. Adam put him through all the appropriate exercises to prepare Jayden for a very successful season. I have learnt so much in the last 2 years! I am very interested in fitness and Adam is full of information that he shares with his clients. He truly cares about his clients I have seen so many gains for the individuals who attend CrossFit. Adam celebrates each person and their gains. He pushes everyone to reach their personnel best whatever that may be. He knows what each individual's limits are. My body is constantly being challenged There is no plateau in CrossFit. With lots of encouragement after about a year and a bit I was able to do a pull-up. I really did not think this possible. I did 50 (not in a row) the other day. Sore but what an accomplishment! Thanks to Adam and CrossFit I feel good both mentally and physically. I feel energetic and able to keep up activity with my teenage sons. We recently attended a water park in Ohio and it was fun doing the board surfing water slides etc. with the boys I noticed a lot of other adults lounging while their children played missing out on the fun! When I went water skiing for the first weekend of the Summer I wasn't even sore! Even as a teen I was sore. I look forward to trying surfing in Australia something I wouldn't attempt if I did not feel fit. It feels really good to be able to bound up the stairs, lift heavy objects move furniture etc. knowing that I am fit to do so. It has kept me healthy and happy. Going to a CrossFit class with Adam is like having a personal trainer. He has eyes in the back of his head. He picks up on flaws in form and if you are going to be working hard you might as well be doing it right. It would be hard not to like Adam. It is apparent that he loves his job and is always upbeat. I didn't know Adam when I started cross-fit but now consider him a friend. I can't say enough good things about him. Janet

* Practice and train major lifts: Deadlift, clean, squat, presses, C&J, and snatch. Similarly, master the basics of gymnastics: pull-ups, dips, rope climb, push-ups, sit-ups, presses to handstand, pirouettes, flips, splits, and holds. Bike, run, swim, row, etc, hard and fast.
* Five or six days per week mix these elements in as many combinations and patterns as creativity will allow. Routine is the enemy. Keep workouts short and intense.
* Regularly learn and play new sports.
