What do I get at CrossFit RVA?

The CrossFit group classes are the backbone of what we do at CrossFit RVA. In a small group setting, we provide your exercise programming (warm-up, workout, and skill work) as well as instruction and of course supply all the necessary equipment. You will learn the basics of powerlifting, olympic weighlifting, basic gymnastics and bodyweight movements, proper running mechanics and much more. You will always receive instruction from a CrossFit trainer and will constantly be observed to ensure that you are performing all movements in a safe and effective manner.

What is CrossFit?

The best place to begin learning about CrossFit is by going to CrossFit HQ and start reading. They have an extensive “What is CrossFit?” page, and they have several free journals that explain the basics of CrossFit. But in a nutshell, Crossfit workouts typically:

  • are short, the average being 15-20 minutes.
  • are intense. CrossFit uses movements which are executed at an intensity which are unsustainable over an extended period of time.
  • are timed/scored. Unlike most traditional gym routines, where a certain number of sets or reps are completed without a major concern for time, CrossFit workouts are always performed with a running clock or some kind of scoring system. You’re more inclined to perform is given a goal to shoot for, or someone to compete with. Scores and times from workouts are recorded and compared over a period of time to guage progress.
  • are highly varied. Most workouts will not be repeated within a 1-2 month period. Some may never show up again. Even the movements in your workotus vary greatly from day to day. Not only will your workouts never become monotonous, but the highly-varied nature of CrossFit workouts keep your body contantly adapting and your fitness improving.

  Who is CrossFit for?
CrossFit has been used by the sedentary, elderly, professional athletes, firefighters, law enforcement, military, and everyone in between. CrossFit is for anyone who is serious becoming more fit, whether their goal is to live a longer healthier life, improve their athleticism, or be better prepared for their job.

CrossFit is entirely scalable; volume, weight, and intensity can all be adjusted to meet your current level of fitness. The workouts are tough, but keep in mind that all posted WOD’s are at the prescribed level, and anyone who is new to CrossFit will start off with scaled workouts.
