We get it – CrossFit can seem intimidating and overwhelming! Plus, finding a program that speaks to you and your goals is hard and sticking with one is even more difficult.
Getting started with us for your CrossFit journey is custom designed with you in mind. You don’t know any one, some people look very fit and lots of the movements are things you may not have seen before. We understand exactly how you feel and we want to bring you into our gym in a way that makes you feel confident, excited and stress free.
CrossFit has quite a few complex exercises which require some practice and familiarity prior to going at higher intensity and weight. This is the start of your fitness journey. Our introduction caters to your specific goals and works with your current level of fitness.
Who: New to CrossFit
Specifics: Start with 1 consultation/assessment session to determine your skill level. Once this is finished, we schedule a 2nd session to go over some additional movements. One goal is for you to familiarize yourself with the more complex movements you will do during a class. Another, more important goal, is for you to move safely.
You will learn:
- About CrossFit and about our gym
- Our foundational movements
- body weight movements like the squat, pull up, pushup
- gymnastic movements like jumping, skipping, being upside down, swings
- Olympic lifts – the clean and jerk and the snatch
