While we understand that this is tempting, CrossFit isn’t your typical workout class. Jumping in with no prior knowledge can be confusing, at best, and dangerous, at worst.
We recommend, if you are brand new to CrossFit, to sign up for a No Sweat Intro to get started. There, you’ll meet with a coach, discuss your goals, and go over the basics of CrossFit movements and exercises.

Every class starts with a thorough warm-up designed to wake up the muscles we’ll be working on that day in class.
Each class includes a strength portion where you’ll focus on a weight lifting movement like squat, snatch, cleans, etc. or a skill foundational to CrossFit workouts such as pull-ups, handstand pushups, ring dips, etc.
After the strength/skill portion of the class is complete, coaches will review the workout of the day (WOD) with the class and talk strategy. Workouts range from 5 - 20 minutes and typically have 3 - 5 movements you’ll repeat for a set number of rounds or as many rounds as you can complete in a designated time.

Unlike a big box gym with crowded workout stations or other group fitness classes that promise a “personal training” like approach, at ACF you will not get lost in the noise. Our coaches are trained to key in on your unique fitness goals, weaknesses, and strengths and help you become the most well rounded athlete you can be. Whether you want to lose weight, gain strength, or just learn how to workout, we’ve got you.

Yes! We offer a selection of protein and energy drinks for purchase as well as protein bars for a pre or post workout snack.
