FAQ’s.

DO I NEED TO BE FIT TO DO CROSSFIT?
No, CrossFit is for everyone and any level of fitness, our experienced coaches will make sure you have the right level of intensity and resistance in your program to increase your fitness safely.

HOW MANY TIMES A WEEK SHOULD I TRAIN?
In order to increase your fitness level, improve your strength and reduce body fat, we recommend 4 to 5 times a week. A couple of rest days in the week are essential in order for your body to repair and recover. Eat clean, sleep well and train hard and you’ll experience the benefits of this style of training. We also offer a two session per week membership if you are looking to compliment another sport or type of fitness with CrossFit (or life is getting a bit challenging and you can only make two classes in a week).

WILL I / CAN I GET BIG DOING CROSSFIT?
If you listen to the coaches, turn up, eat right and get lots of sleep, you could build muscle (some people are able to do this easier than others though). The CrossFit protocol is designed to elicit a substantial neuroendocrine wallop and hence packs an anabolic punch that can create this change, though that is not our main focus; Posture, Technique and Strength is. Your body will change for the positive and we will never run out of movements to master or levels to conquer!

I’VE HEARD I CAN INJURE MYSELF DOING CROSSFIT, IS THIS TRUE?
Any sport carries the risk of injury, however in a well run facility with responsible coaches/trainers you’ll substantially reduce this risk. We can scale any movement/weight around your current level of fitness and mobility whilst also improving these areas. Our coaches can help give advice and guidance around how to improve mobility/stability and if you see a physio, with your permission they can contact us to assist with your rehab. We also have a physio and soft tissue therapist in the coaching team.

CAN CROSSFIT HELP ME GET FITTER FOR MY SPORT?
Yes! While you should always train in your sport to keep your skill at the required level, CrossFit is able to increase strength, anaerobic and aerobic capacity and overall fitness. We’ve coached numerous athletes pre, during and post season and we always hear back how much better they are on the field due to this style of training.

WHY SHOULD I DO CROSSFIT AND NOT ANOTHER TYPE OF TRAINING?
There are many different styles of training and all beneficial to improving your health and well being. We love CrossFit as it’s varied so you never get bored with the same routine, challenges you on many different aspects of your fitness level, increases strength, reduces body fat (when paired with a good nutrition plan) and all takes place in an environment where everyone supports and encourages everyone. Another major benefit is that our workouts are trackable, this means you can actually see improvements to your performance in workouts and weight lifted – our chosen software PushPress does this all for you.

CAN I EAT WHAT I WANT AND STILL LOSE WEIGHT?
Losing weight is a balance between calories in and calories out and if weight loss is your aim then a sensible deficit from your recommended daily amount will help you. We have a qualified coach in our team with the Precision Nutrition and Working Against Gravity Nutrition qualifications but can also recommend local and online dietician’s if needed.
