I heard that CrossFitter’s use their own language, can you help me with the terms?
Sure! This is a great link that will help get you started –

Can I do my own thing during class?
Our Classes our Professionally coached and our our top priority. That being said we do not have open gym during Class times.
How often do you recommend I come to the gym?
If you’re just starting up, we recommend coming three days/week for your first couple weeks, then build to four, then five. Once you’re up to five days per week, we recommend building in two recovery days per week.
I just relocated/looking for a new gym and I’d like to check you out prior to joining.
With every new client we start off with a consultation so we can get to know more about you and your goals.
Before you ever go to group class you work with one of our pro coaches that will take you through a movement assessment to test joint flexibility and mobility.
You then get 3 sessions with only them so they coach you through the 3 foundational patterns ( Squat, Hinge, Press ) with appropriate workouts for where you are at in your fitness journey.
I’m not in very good shape… can I do CrossFit?
The very first thing you will discover is that CrossFit does not discriminate. Whether you are young at heart, or have just completed your 50th marathon, or are recovering from injury or healing a broken heart, whether walking the dog is the only exercise you’ve had in years, or you’re someone training for the Iditarod…We will help you achieve your fitness goals.
One of the things that makes CrossFit so unique is our community of people from literally every walk of life: stay-at-home parents, elite athletes, students, CEOs, members of the armed services, firefighters, you name it. CrossFit bodies – our bodies – come in every imaginable size, shape and age; and yet, our workouts every day are designed for anyone to do them.
Yes, anyone.
What exactly is CrossFit?
CrossFit is a fitness program that will change your life. By it’s definition, it uses “constantly varied, functional movement performed at a relative high intensity”. As a truly functional program, the difficulty level of our daily workouts is designed to be increased or decreased, depending upon the individual. This makes them doable by anyone.
Daily workouts could include things such as core conditioning, rowing, sprinting, gymnastics, lifting, etc. And all our workouts are designed to improve overall flexibility, strength, speed, endurance, and agility.
What will my first time in your gym be like?
Your first time in, we want you to feel comfortable. One of our awesome coaches will give you a tour of the facilities, we’ll sit down with you and walk through your goals, we’ll do a quick fitness assessment with you, and we’ll walk through what you can expect.
What’s your drop-in policy?
We love nothing more than having visitors from other boxes come train at our box during all of our open gym times. The drop in rate is 20$ or 40$ for a week.
Due to the structure of our classes and the value we strive to provide to our members we do not take drop-ins for group class. Each of our members deserves as much attention form our coaches as they can possibly get!
Why is your gym more expensive than other gyms?
We know you may have a lot of choices on where to workout. What’s best… A treadmill at home? The gym down the street that is $15/month? A CrossFit membership? We’d actually encourage you to ask a different question. What are your goals? Personalized attention? Trained, professional coaches? Accountability? Working out with a group of like-minded people who cheer on your success? If the answer to any of the above is “yes”, then we’d encourage you to check us out.
