Castañeda
David is a physical-education graduate (Licenciado en Educación Física) and a certified CrossFit coach. About five years ago he opened CrossX Fitness in Manizales to bring high-intensity functional training to the city, taught with real technique and real care.
Since then the box has grown into a full training home: coached classes from 5 a.m., an open box for independent athletes, the AGOD traditional gym and a team that competes together at events like Ultra Games.
“Strong bodies are trained. Strong communities are built.”

What we stand for
Four rules on the whiteboard.
Community
We start together and we finish together. The last athlete always gets the loudest cheer.
Technique first
Professional coaching on every rep. We load the bar only when the movement is right.
For every level
Every workout scales. Beginners, students, parents and competitors share the same floor.
Discipline
5 a.m. classes exist for a reason. Consistency beats motivation, every single time.
