The purpose of this project is to test to the effectiveness of High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) and its impact on the WPI community. A thorough research and background was completed on CrossFit, one of the most popular HIIT programs, in order to scientifically analyze the program and to devise a study to conduct on campus. Over six weeks, training sessions, workouts and testing was conducted in order to compare CrossFit to generic work outs and their effectiveness.
