Early Los Gatos history claims that the town was named after the mountain lions that commonly roamed near Los Gatos Creek.  This legend well suits us here at CrossFit LG as one would be hard pressed to find a more appropriate symbol for CrossFit than the mountain lion.  Known to be extremely athletic, even for a large cat, mountain lions are fast, strong, agile, and powerful.  CrossFit aims to emulate the mountain lion by producing athletes that are not just strong, but explosive, not just fast, but possessing of great stamina.  Like the mountain lion, CrossFit athletes are agile, flexible and powerful.  Like the mountain lion, the CrossFit athlete is a blend of attributes, wanting not the bulk of the body builder, nor the extreme leaness of the endurance athlete, but rather the speed, suppleness, explosivity, power, and coordination of the weightlifter, gymnast, and sprinter. 

In short, the very essence of the mountain lion--Velut Leo.
