New to CrossFit
This looks hard – is CrossFit for me?
CrossFit is for everyone – kids, seniors, moms, professionals – you name it! It doesn’t matter what your current fitness level is – we scale every workout to match your current abilities and increase load as your fitness progresses.
I don’t want to get too bulky – will CrossFit add too much muscle?
We get asked this one all the time… Not to worry – CrossFit will increase lean body mass, but not to the degree most people think. Since CrossFit is a core strength and conditioning program and not a bodybuilding program, your results will be a fitter, leaner, more toned version of yourself. If you are interested in adding bulk, we can always modify your routine to accommodate your goals.
Why is it so expensive?
This is not your typical help yourself, lift some weights and go home gym experience. What we do is high-performance, small-group personal training. Every class is instructed by a highly knowledgeable trainer who is there to guide, motivate and push you to a higher level of fitness. We will teach you the skills, habits, and nutritional knowledge you will need to achieve extraordinary results.
Can I start in a group class?
Yes! Check our schedule for our next Foundations class.
I’m in great shape already. I run and bike and do Yoga. Can’t I just come to one of your Level 1 classes?
Have you been regularly squatting, dead lifting and pressing? How about snatching and cleaning ? Climbing ropes? We have established movement standards that you must meet in order to gain entry to our ongoing group classes. Call or email to schedule a fitness consult and we’ll get you started in either our Foundations class or private training to help develop your solid base with CrossFit movements.
Already a rock star and want to test in?
Do you already meet the standards for Level 1 or Level 2? Let’s find out! You must schedule a testing appointment. Testing is Pass/Fail and will be administered for the level you aspire to. You are also show proper form in all movements. If you do not Pass you will need to do more one-on-one or small group training to elevate your game.
How long will it take for me to achieve Level 1 or Level 2?
That depends entirely on you, your level of commitment and what you’re bringing to the game on day one. Are you a former gymnast who eats protein (not soy) at every meal and sleeps 8 hours a night? You will likely be a Level 2 athlete in very short order. For the de-conditioned couch potatoes and the high carb cardio athletes out there…it’s going to take A LOT of work! You will need to modify your nutrition and let go of some old habits if you want to streamline this process and optimize your results.
Do you offer a family discount?
Yes we do. Discounts depend on how often you train. Please see the pricing page.
What is your cancellation policy?
1-on-1 training clients
The session dates and times that you book with your trainer are reserved for you alone for that 30 day period. Within any given 30 day training period you may have one rescheduled cancellation if you provide at least 24 hours notice. Rescheduling is subject to your trainer’s availability and must take place prior to your session package expiration dates. All “NO SHOW” missed appointments will be billed at full session rate.
Can I get credit or refund for missed group class sessions?
No. Your fees are treated as tuition.
What are your hours?
Personal training is by appointment only. Please contact us to schedule your sessions. Please see schedule page.
I train at a CrossFit facility in another town and am traveling through town. Can I drop in on a class?
Sure! Give us a call or shoot us an email and let us know what day you would like to come down. (Please do not just drop in.) We will do our best to get you into a class appropriate for your fitness level. Our traveling CrossFitter rate is $20/class.
Excuses
I don’t have time to workout.
Yes you do. A convenient characteristic of our training methods is incredible time efficiency. Our training sessions are scheduled for an hour to allow time for warming up, technique instruction, working out, skills practice, and cooling down. However, some of our clients are unusually pressed for time: in their cases, we are able to get them in and out within 25-30 minutes without sacrificing the quality or intensity of their training.
I’m embarrassed—I’m really out of shape.
Don’t be. First of all, none of our members arrive at a level of fitness that would be considered exceptional by our high standards: they all had and—like all of us—still have plenty of room for improvement. And that’s precisely the reason our members train with us: to improve.
Second, our members are part of a tight community in which encouragement and support of each other are essential. Our best athletes routinely train alongside first-time members. All of us, from members to trainers, are here to help each other progress.
This isn’t for me. I’m not an athlete. I just want to look and feel good.
The majority of our members aren’t athletes: they simply want the best possible results in the least possible time. We train all of our members as if they were world-class athletes because this unequivocally produces superior results in all of us. Why train in a way that inherently limits your potential for success? Why restrict yourself to simply looking good when you can look better, feel better AND perform better?
