FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS.
We like to say "CrossFit isn't for everybody... but it is for ANYBODY".
The best thing about CrossFit is that it is for anybody regardless of their current level or goals. CrossFit can make a competitive athlete bigger, stronger, faster and better at every athletic aspect of their sport but it can also help people who have never exercised before. It accommodates to both these examples and everyone in between.
Whoever you are, whatever your background, CrossFit can make you a better version of you for today and long into the future.
Do I need to be fit to start?
NO! You wouldn't cut your hair yourself before going to a hairdresser would you? Well it's the same with the gym. It's our job to help you get fit, even if you've never worked out before in your life.
What if I don’t want to do CrossFit?
That's absolutely fine. CrossFit is just one aspect of our gym. We offer individual help and programming for whatever you want to focus on. If you don't want to be in a class setting, if you want to train for a specific sport, if you're rehabbing an injury or anything else, we have the means to help you be better. See our RX membership option.
Will I get bulky?
Not unless you want to. A lot of women and some men worry that they'll get bulky by lifting weights or doing CrossFit. Don't worry you won't accidentally do overnight what every guy who trains has spent their whole life trying to achieve. Form follows function and most people who train and eat well are much happier with their bodies. If you do want to put on some muscle though, that's great! We can help you with your training and nutrition to make that a reality.
What if I’ve never lifted weights before?
Again, that's fine. We work to a training principle of: TECHNIQUE - LOAD - INTENSITY. We teach you how to move, that movement is the same with weight as it would be with a PVC pipe. You'll never be asked to do something you can't do. We teach the technique THEN apply the weight. If it's under control only then would we introduce intensity. If we lose the technique we probably need to change the weight so that you can move safely and efficiently.
What if I’m injured?
Life happens, and sometimes that means dealing with injuries. If you have a serious problem that you think is preventing you from exercising we offer individual help to get you back on track and also work around that problem to figure out what you can do in the meantime.
If you feel you can exercise but have some restrictions that's alright, we can scale movements and focus on what you CAN do even in a class setting.
