Should I Take Personal Training & CrossFit Classes Together?
In a word — YES. We recommend taking at least one personal training, one mobility class, and one CrossFit class per week. Personal Training to teach you the foundations, mobility to improve your flexibility and control, CrossFit to improve your conditioning.
Mobility vs Flexibility vs Yoga vs Stretching
Exercise is essential for good health, but I am assuming you already know that. But did you know Mobility Training is just as essential? Do you even know what Mobility Training is and how it differs from concepts like flexibility, yoga, and stretching? That’s what this article is all about. Because without sufficient mobility, you cannot be all that you wish to be. This applies whether your chosen craft is golf, strength training, CrossFit, or endurance running.

Mobility is critical for all sports and physical activities. Period.
