Classes For All Ages
Foundation
In the foundation classes participants will achieve proficiency in the CrossFit foundational movements. These classes are less intense so as to offer the best opportunity for participants to retain the instruction. Foundation classes are required for new members and can also be helpful for members who may need a technique tune-up. We offer private and semi-private foundation classes to learn the below foundation moves for better retention and to accommodate busy schedules. This could take as little as 2 – 3 sessions or more depending on your fitness level when starting.
During the Foundation classes we are going to want to know a little more about you. We will be conducting assessments in order to understand you, your personal goals and current health concerns. Once we have an understanding of your needs, we can help you achieve your goals.
Additionally, you will receive a comprehensive understanding of the CrossFit program. We’ll introduce, refine technique and discuss range of motion requirements for the following movements:
- Squats: air squat, front squat, overhead squat,
- Presses: shoulder press, push press, push jerk
- Power movements: deadlift, sumo deadlifts, med ball clean
- Olympic movements: clean and jerk, snatch
- Gymnastics: pull-up, push-ups, burpees, dips,Handstands, wall walks etc..
- Other common movements: thrusters, wall ball, kettlebell swings, rowing, box jumps, jump roping.
Remember, all these moves can and will be modified to fit your personal goals and fitness level at the time. Best thing about these classes is everyone regardless of there fitness level can work out together and get their needs met!
In the foundation class you will learn how to safely perform these common movements as well as receive an overview of our training principles.

This class builds self-confidence in yourself and in the weight room. WOW classes teaches every type of exercise modality, olympic lifts, throwing, strength training, interval training, plyometrics, sport specific drills, metabolic conditioning and gymnastics skills,(don’t worry ladies push up and lunges are gymnastics skills.)
Everything is scaled down for beginners, check out the website under the WOD blog and look for the green writing!
“Ladies you will not get bigger, I am the smallest I have ever been and weigh more than I ever have, as muscle weighs more than fat!”
Having previous weight training experience is necessary, or take a few private sessions to learn the foundation moves and proper exercise execution and technique before joining any class.
Same great crossfit workouts, constantly varied, high intensity, functional movements using all 10 components of fitness. Doing isolation exercises like a bicep curl or sitting down doing a leg curl machine stimulates nothing and is a colossal waste of time. Workouts change daily so the body never plateaus! Ladies you enter into pre-menopause as early as age 35, then menopause then post! Women have to lift heavy things and do interval and plyometric training for bone and physical health!
Too much aerobic activities have a decrease in muscle mass, strength, speed, power and decreases anaerobic capacity. Anaerobic activities are superior for fat loss, increasing lean muscle mass, strength, speed, power and aerobic capacity.
Aerobic based exercises are great for the heart and lungs and extra calorie burning, however not effective for fat loss and will decrease strength, speed, power and muscle wasting. If you are only doing aerobic based activities for fat loss you are missing the boat.
Learn proper technique, muscle recruitment, injury prevention and how to use your pelvic floor. This class was named WOW / CROSSFIT-STYLE because when you’re done that’s exactly what you’ll say!
