+ Is CrossFit for me?

Yes. Everyone can do CrossFit regardless of age, injuries and current fitness levels. The program is modified for each person to help him or her safely become healthier and fitter. Grandparents and Olympians can perform modified versions of the same general workout.

+ Do I need to be in shape to start CrossFit?

No. CrossFit is the program that will get you in shape. No matter what your current fitness level is, you can start CrossFit. As you become fitter, workouts will become more challenging. Every workout is designed to help you succeed, improve fitness and move you toward your goals.

+ What do I need to bring and do before my first class?

Once you've either purchased a membership, or contacted us about a trial class, you will be emailed a digital waiver to sign. We ask that this be completed before arriving to your first class so we aren't rushed when you arrive. If you are able, arrive about 10 minutes before the class start time. You may need a few minutes to change into your workout clothes and athletic shoes, and maybe even fill up your water bottle. We'll also give you a quick tour and your coach will chat with you a bit before we start class. Aside from a warm meet and greet, we'll want to know a bit more about you... existing injuries? any physical limitations? Our knowledgeable coaches will then be able to modify any movements or workouts if needed to meet your individual requirements.

+ What will my first class be like?

We cap our classe at 14 people, and typically there are about 5-12 people in each class, so you can expect to get a LOT of coaching in each class. Typically, we start with a general warmup, transition into some type of skill or strength development piece, and then do a workout. One of the coolest things about what we do is that every day is different!

+ Do I need to make a reservation for my classes?

Yes, all of our classes are reservation based. Once you've purchased a membership, you'll have access to our very user friendly app which is how you'll reserve your spot. If you are contacting us about a trial class, we'll take care of the reservation for you once you've signed the digital waiver that we email you.

+ What if I can't do something listed in the workout?

All of our workouts can be modified for people of any age and ability. Adjusting a workout for a specific person is called “scaling,” and it allows very experienced athletes and beginners to train side by side. Our skilled Coaches can quickly adjust each workout to reflect your needs, goals and current abilities.

+ The thought of other people seeing me workout is terryifing, what do I do?

You ARE NOT alone! We understand that the anxiety of working out in a group setting, especially one as intimidating as CrossFit can be difficult to manage for some of us. If this is you, contact us about doing a private consultation. We can give you lots more information, answer all your questions and get you on the right track. 1-on-1 Coaching may alos be an option for you, but we can help you determine the correct path.

+ Is CrossFit too intense for my kiddo?

No, this is a common misconcpetion. Our CF Kids program aims to offer a fun and engaging environment for kids to start to develop lasting healthy habits and physical litercy. For ages 6-12, we focus on movement mechanics, and developing consistency in a more fun & games type environment.

+ Do kids and teens lift weights and is it safe to do so?

ALL of our classes (Kids, Teens & Adults) strictly adhere to an overeaching policy that states quality of movement ALWAYS supersedes load and intensity. With children (generally between the ages of five to twelve years old), mechanics and consistency may allow the application of very light loads. For the oldest, most adept in this age range weights may look something like ten pound dumbells for front squats, various pressing movements, and cleans; while upwards of a twenty-pound kettlebell may be used for deadlifts.

We use the same standards to govern loading for teens. As mechanics and consistency improve, loads can safely increase at the same rate of their individual abilities. Our mandate is that the load is well within the margins of safe and efficient movement for all of our athletes.
