Training at a Crossfit Gym
A typical CrossFit class lasts about an hour and follows a structured format: a warm-up, skill or strength work, the WOD (the main workout), and a cool-down. Classes are coach-led and performed in groups, which creates a strong community atmosphere. Expect movements like squats, deadlifts, pull-ups, box jumps, rowing, running, and Olympic lifts. All workouts are scalable — coaches will modify weights, reps, and movements to match your fitness level, whether you're a beginner or a seasoned athlete.
Equipment You Will Typically Find
Barbells and bumper plates, pull-up rigs, kettlebells, rowing machines, assault bikes, plyo boxes, jump ropes, medicine balls, gymnastic rings, and wall balls.
