2015 is going strong!

9.9.2015

We’re on our second week of September and I just wanted to put out a blog covering a few things:

2015 has been a great year for us here at CFD, and we’re going stronger than ever! We’ve got a few up and coming coaches rising through the ranks, we’re just starting a strength cycle (you’ll notice the program will be shifting a bit as a result of this), John’s gymnastics program is still ongoing and offering that extra bit of work on some of those movements outside of classes, monthly Nutrition classes are being added to the schedule, and membership is at an all time high!

I wanted to thank each and every one of you for being a part of our community. I hope it shows that I work very hard on my end to offer you a great program and the best knowledge in the area. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me personally if you have any suggestions or ideas moving forward to keep CFD strong!

Keep your eyes peeled for another Athlete Camp coming up in January (I’ll be announcing a date for this before too much longer so that we can collectively reserve it in our calendars for those interested), our 4-year anniversary party (again, probably the January timeframe), and another In-House competition (I’m really looking forward to this—stay tuned for some interesting updates here), plus a few other things I won’t mention quite yet.

Again, thank you all for being a part of our amazing community. As summer draws to a close and we welcome the cooler Fall months, I value having you all at my facility. You all have a choice to make when it comes to who to trust with your training and your health. I’m glad you trust CFD, and I won’t take that for granted!

See you at the box…

What is CrossFit?

CrossFit is the principal strength and conditioning program for many police academies and tactical operations teams, military special operations units, champion martial artists, and hundreds of other elite and professional athletes worldwide.

Our program delivers a fitness that is, by design, broad, general, and inclusive. Our specialty is not specializing. Combat, survival, many sports, and life reward this kind of fitness and, on average, punish the specialist.

The CrossFit program is designed for universal scalability making it the perfect application for any committed individual regardless of experience. We’ve used our same routines for elderly individuals with heart disease and cage fighters one month out from televised bouts. We scale load and intensity; we don’t change programs.

How do I start?

If you are interested in speaking to a coach and learning more about our philosophy on fitness and how we can help you achieve your goals, get signed up for an introductory class! New Foundations classes start the first full week of each month, so get in for your intro class to get signed up for the upcoming month’s classes!

What do classes look like?

Each of our sessions are 100% guided and coached. Our classes are structured in smaller groups so that everyone is able to receive some individual attention. At times, we may bring in other trainers to help coach so as to not overlook anyone.

We will always begin with a dynamic warm up. This will usually consist of a few movements that ensure that the entire body is ready for the session. At this point, you should feel an elevated core temperature and maybe have a light sweat.

Next we work on skill moves. These include a variety of motions such as Olympic lifting, body awareness movements, or any number of others that fit into our programming. Coaching plays a big part in this section. Many of the movements we teach will be outside of the average skill set. Part of our goal is to broaden your base, constantly introducing new and different moves.

At this point we begin coaching the workout of the day (WOD). Often, the WOD will incorporate elements from the sessions’ skill work. After adjusting the WOD to each individual’s skill and fitness level, any last minute questions are answered. Then, it’s 3 2 1 GO! And we’re off!!

Are the coaches qualified?

We pride ourselves in the knowledge of our trainers. Each and every one of our trainers are qualified to guide you along your CrossFit journey. We also believe that continuing education is paramount to the success our of members, so we help our coaches get any additional training that will advance their knowledge in the field.
