Happy Easter Everyone!

3.27.2016

While we’re all recovering from stuffing our faces with chocolate bunnies, I’ve been putting the finishing touches on a few things, and I’d like to make a few announcements!

Post-Open 2016

A huge, HUGE CONGRATS to all of the CFD athletes who represented this year in the 2016 CrossFit Open! We had a great year, a lot of fun, and 5 fast weeks of competition. I for one was really happy with the quality of the workouts this year—CF has really stepped it up in quality of programming for the Opens. It’s more inclusive, better tests, and safer (notice I never said easier!!!). What a fun Open season it was!

Speaking of the Open season getting over with, that leads me to my next point:

A new Strength Cycle is written and waiting for you all!

Now that the vast majority of the population’s season is over, it’s time to get back to some quality training. I have written a new 12 week strength program that is available for all unlimited CFD members. You can access the FB group here for more information. I’m proud of this one and hope you all love the gainzzzzz!

So….

Who wants to go to regionals? I have reason to believe that a crew from CFD will be making the trip this coming Memorial Day weekend. Based on how many people are interested, we can look into potentially traveling together via van or even chartering a bus. More info will be released soon, but I want to put the bug in your ears now—start figuring out your availability and if you want to go…we’ll be asking about headcounts soon!

One last thing: If you haven’t ordered your CFD apparel yet, drop your gross peeps and do it now—the order form will close tomorrow morning! Click here for more info!

That’s all I have to now—have a great rest of your Easter and 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.
