Improve your Health and Fitness

Improving your health and fitness is the cornerstone of our CrossFit program. From our attention to good technique to our full featured nutrition classes, the focus of our CrossFit program is to help you lead a healthy lifestyle and improve your fitness.

The Structure of a CrossFit Class

In CrossFit we do weightlifting (barbells, kettlebells, and dumbbells), conditioning (running, rope climbs, rowing, etc.) and calisthenics / gymnastics (pull-ups, situps, pushups, rope climbs, etc.) We combine these three workout types in many different variations and configurations to help prepare your body for any kind of workout / stimulus. We do short workouts, long workouts, heavy workouts, tabatas, and many more with the goal helping you achieve proficiency in any kind of workout for any duration. Our fittest athletes are capable of doing the most variations of these exercises faster and more safely.

Scaling and Modifications

Scaling is the system we use for adjusting the workout difficulty to your level. We’ll teach you how to adjust the exercises so they are optimized for you at your current fitness level. We meet you where you are.

Anatomy of a CrossFit Class

We tailor the program of each class based on the type of workout we are doing. That said, the general structure of each class follows this model:

• Whiteboard Overview: We explain the workout, how to succeed at it, how to adjust it, and why we programmed it.
• Warmups: Our warmup are specific to the workout that day / class
• Skill Work: We’ll practice the exercises for the workout. Your coach will help you make corrections and adjustments to your technique.
• Workout of the Day: The main event / main workout of the day.
• Cooldown & Stretching: Recovery and mobility work so you can be ready for tomorrow’s challenge.
