What we do works. We train you like an elite athlete. What elite athletes do works, obviously. You deserve to live your best life and we want to help you get there. Any moron can make you tired. We make you better. Overwhelmingly, people that participate in this program, be they coaches, future coaches, soccer moms or someone escaping from their desk, say this training makes them better people.
Ah... the old Get In Shape to Get In Shape dillemma. GN2 we call it. Forget about that and get started. No worries. We don't care if you're not in shape -- just that you want to become better and are willing to work hard.
You don’t have to be an "athlete". In fact, a lot of CrossFitters are “regular” people but they recognize that hard work will get them the results they are seeking.
The price ranges from $79 dollars a month to $179 a month depending on your committment level and often you want to train. Discounts are available for students, law, fire and military personnel. You get small group training, professional coaching, lots of personalized attention and a chance to improve your life in a lot of different ways -- at a small fraction of the cost of personal training. How much is your health and fitness worth to you? How much is camaraderie and community worth? How bad do you want to meet and beat your goals? How serious are you about doing what it takes to get there? We can help.
A good pair of CLEAN athletic shoes is required. Some people like running shoes, other people prefer Chuck Taylors or Keds. Soiled footwear will not be permitted on the workout floor. No big chunks of mud. No wet mush.
Wear lose fitting clothes. T-Shirts and shorts work. Sweats for starters if it's a bit chilly.
A water bottle and small sweat towel are also suggested.
No. If the demands of your sport are too high we simply won’t allow you to train with us until your commitments are lighter. The last thing we want to do is overtrain our athletes and be a hindrance instead of helping them get better.
We have training options with as few as 1 day per week. We want to help optimize your performance not stifle it.
You do a lot of squats…aren’t they bad for your knees? TOP
No. And by the way, you do them every day - how else do you get off the toilet? Not only is the squat foundational to athleticism, but even more importantly, it’s foundational to functional independence.
Squatting has developed a reputation of being unsafe because of the prevalence of atrocious form and severe inflexibility. Properly performed squats and related movements will fortify the knees, hips and back—not damage them—and help prevent injury in the future.
Avoiding movements your body was engineered to perform is the best way to ensure injury and your body’s failure to function properly for you. We spend a great deal of time teaching our members proper form in all movements and constantly monitor performance to ensure safety and optimal benefits.
Then you are not unlike a lot of our members. People don’t train CrossFit with us only for increased athletic performance; some 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?
Open Gym time is a benefit we extend to our members. Members are welcome to come in and get some skill practice in, make up a Workout of The Day or get some Active Rest in. It's instructor guided -- so you're going to get some coaching. It's not a free for all and not intended to be another class or a free class which is why the more often you come to CrossFit Classes, the more Open Gym time you get.
Our class schedule will grow along with our enrollment. That said, if you want to train at CFD and the only thing stopping you is a scheduling conflict, let us know. Call us. Email us. Let us know when you want to train. If we can get at least four people training in, for example, the 1PM weekday slot, at least three days a week -- we'll create a class. If you have a four person group - we'll create a slot for you if what we currently offer does not fit.
I'm not a member, can I take part in an event that says "Members Only" or similar? TOP
The enthusiasm is appreciated. However, Members only events are just that - for members. If you want to become a member of our community, become a member of our community.
That said, there will be events that will be open to anyone. They will say so in their announcement. They will also probably be posted on the CrossFit.com Affiliate Blog.
