FAQ

What is a WOD?
It is the “Workout of the Day”. We select and post a workout for each day. This workout could be a “named” workout, developed and described on the national site, or it could be a workout we have developed here. It is all part of the “constant variation” philosophy of CrossFit.

What if I can’t do the workout as posted?
Not all athletes can do ALL CrossFit workouts as RX’d (described). A big part of CrossFit is the concept of “scaling”. That is, substituting in modifications to movements to make them more or less difficult based on the individual’s level of fitness and training. For example, many workouts include the pull-up. Many people cannot do a dead hang (non-kipping) pull-up. The pull-up can be scaled by substituting a kipping pull-up, jumping pull-up, pull-up with resistance bands, a bar pull-down, etc. In this way, you can begin with less challenging exercises and progressively work your way up to more advanced movements.

I am just starting. Should I do the bootcamps or join the regular classes?
Don’t cheat yourself by thinking that the bootcamps may be easier than the regular classes. There is no shortcut to get in shape. The primary difference is that bootcamps do not incorporate any Olympic lifting. However, bootcamps are still intense workouts. When deciding between the two consider your schedule and overall goals. Take a look at the “WOD” tab and compare some of the Main WODS to the Bootcamp WODS.

Should I be in fairly good shape before starting CrossFit? Should I get in shape before doing CrossFit?
NO! A THOUSAND TIMES NO!!!! CrossFit is designed for athletes of ALL levels — from professional athletes, to desk jockeys, to homemakers, to retirees. We scale load and intensity for all our clients based on their individual fitness level and ability. Going to a traditional health club first will just delay the benefits you will receive from a CrossFit regimen.

How many times do you recommend coming in for beginners?
After your Basic Classes, we recommend three times per week to get the benefits that we advocate. Two times would be minimum since after 3 days you will start to lose ground and lose your fitness.
