Six classes, one method

Classes

We do functional movements and scale them for everyone. Classes run from CrossFit 101 on your first day to weightlifting for your next PR.

All levels

CrossFit

This is our main class. In one coached hour you do strength, cardio and gymnastics.

CrossFit is a high-intensity training method that combines strength, cardio and gymnastics in functional movements, built to improve strength, endurance and physical performance. Every hour has a warm-up, a strength or skill block, the workout of the day and a cool-down. The coach scales every movement, so a beginner and an athlete train side by side.

What you do

  • A new WOD every day, written on the whiteboard
  • Barbells, kettlebells, boxes, rings and the rower
  • Movements scaled to your level
  • Small groups, where the coach watches you all hour

Intermediate

Weightlifting

You learn the snatch and the clean & jerk step by step, with technique, speed and strength.

An hour just for the two Olympic lifts and the drills that build them. We start with a PVC pipe and an empty bar and add weight only when the movement is clean. You learn the positions, the speed under the bar and how to keep your body safe. We recommend it once you’ve done CrossFit 101.

What you do

  • Snatch, clean & jerk and their variations
  • Video of your lift to check technique
  • Percentage-based programming towards your PR

Strength & Conditioning

You start with pure strength, with squats, deadlifts and presses. Then comes conditioning.

In the first half of the hour we work on strength, with squats, deadlifts and overhead presses, on a programme that builds every week. The second half is a short conditioning piece on the rower, the air bike and kettlebells. The class suits anyone who wants to get stronger, including athletes from other sports.

  • Strength programme in 6-week cycles
  • Short conditioning, 10 to 15 minutes

Beginners

CrossFit 101

This is the first step. You learn the basic movements, how to train safely and how a CrossFit hour works.

CrossFit works for beginners too, because the programme starts with basic movements at a lower intensity and gets harder step by step, with each person’s progress and fitness. In CrossFit 101 you learn the squat, the deadlift, the press, kettlebell movements and how to read the WOD on the whiteboard, before you join the regular classes.

What you do

  • No experience needed
  • The basic movements and safe technique
  • Afterwards you’re ready for CrossFit classes

1:1 coaching

It’s just you and a coach, with a plan built for your goal.

What you do

  • Assessment in the first session
  • A weekly plan just for you
  • By appointment, at the time you choose

Questions

Before your first class

Is CrossFit for beginners too?

CrossFit works for beginners too, because the programme starts with basic movements at a lower intensity and gets harder step by step, with each person’s progress and fitness.

Do I need to be fit before I start?

No. You build your fitness here. We scale every movement, with a lighter weight, fewer reps or a simpler version of the movement.

What should I bring to my first class?

Bring sports clothes, comfortable trainers, a water bottle and a towel. We have the barbells, the plates and everything else.

How long is a class?

A class lasts 60 minutes, from the warm-up to the stretch. The first time, come 10 minutes early to meet the coach and see the gym.

Are there classes for kids?

We don’t have regular classes for kids. Now and then we host school visits. Message us if you’d like to arrange one.

Your first class starts with a message.
