CrossFit absolutely works your entire body. CrossFit believes in the fitness methodology "Constantly Varied, high intensity functional movements". What does that mean?
1) Constantly Varied: Your workout today, should not look like your workout yesterday, or your workout tomorrow
2) High Intensity: Work Hard
3) Functonal movements: Full body motions that involve using coordination from you core to strengthen the lifts to your extremities.
For instance, lifting luggage into the overhead compartment is a full-body exercise that involves all of your muscles working together. Most (if not all) CrossFit workouts involve full body "functional movements". (i.e. Power Clean, Front squat, Sumo deadlift high pull, etc).
This being said, every CrossFit gym is not the same. A lot of CrossFit gyms (or to use the CrossFit vernacular "boxes") focus on Olympic lift, while others are more focused on gymnastics, while others focus more on strength endurance. A good "box" should be focused on varying these workouts.
At our CrossFit box, Factum CrossFit and Mixed Martial Arts, we train people for cage fighting and wrestling matches. Most of our workouts are written to make sure you have power for the 1st round and stamina for the 3rd.
Do your homework, but CrossFit is a phenomenal workout, and fantastic for a multitude of sports (in particular wrestling/mma).
