ready for Crossfit 101
Our CrossFit 101 program is dedicated to our newest members. It’s an informational and instructional program designed for anyone trying CrossFit for the first time. We slow down our usual pace to guide you through the basic movements and core stability exercises, get you familiarized with proper mechanics and technique, and get your body primed to join our group classes. CrossFit 101 is designed to ensure your success; we cover everything from our programming philosophy, proper exercise modifications, and scaling and regulating individual intensity.
It’s a great way to start your CrossFit journey and to get ramped up for our regular group classes. Because the CrossFit 101 program is in a small-group format, the coaches have plenty of opportunity to help you work on technique and get to know your unique goals and needs.
