Pardon our dust

2.9.2014

We are excited to be open for our first day at the new location, 3080 Cedar Crest Ct! I hope you can all pardon our dust through the next few weeks while we finish setting everything up. We’re pretty much up and ready to go for tomorrow’s work, but there are some things you should all know before you come in…

–As of five minutes ago (I just left the box to post the workout for tomorrow), there’s STILL no water due to pipes freezing on the other side of the building. Hopefully this gets resolved very soon, but worst-case scenario we won’t have working bathrooms at all tomorrow morning.

–It’s still a work in progress, so please be cautious of work tools and dust. I’ll do my best to keep that kind of stuff away from the classes, but there’s still a lot of work left to do.

–astroturf is being quoted and will be installed within the next few weeks. Until then, half of the floor will be bare concrete. Our usable area right now is about the same size as our entire old space though, so we should be ok!

–The new signage will be going up sometime tomorrow, but until then the building isn’t marked. Trust me–when the sign goes up, you’ll know where CFD is located!

Thank you all in advance for your patience and understanding during this transition period. It’s my biggest goal to not impede on anyone’s training experience during the move, and I’m glad we are able to remain on schedule at least with the workouts and be ready to go at 5:15 tomorrow morning. I can’t possibly thank all of you enough who made it out this weekend to help it all go as smooth as it did. It really shows the amazing quality of character so many of you have to come help with such an exciting undertaking. Thank you all so very much.

I’ll see you all bright and early!

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.
