I am over 40, and out of shape. I didn't think this was going to be a good idea, but I signed up for the no sweat introduction that is offered. As soon as I walked in Korey greeted me by name, which helped me to relax right away. A quick tour of the gym, then a heart to heart conversation about where I am, and where I want to get. I filled out some paperwork, and told Korey I would have to discuss with my wife (crossfit of any kind is an investment)
I decided that I wanted to give this a try, so I signed up for the next step: CrossFit Foundations: three one on one workouts with a coach to learn proper form and technique. This is a great way for a person who has never done CrossFit to get started. I arrived for my first workout, in between regularly scheduled classes, and the gym was empty. My coach is Korey, and he started out with an explanation of how the workouts are structured. He then went into demonstration mode. First he explained the form, then he demonstrated, then he broke it down into component movements. After that it was time for me to put his instruction into action. Korey then observed to ensure that I was doing the motions correctly, followed by a short set of exercises putting it all together. After demonstrating several exercises, it was time to put it all together into an actual workout. Still one on one with coach observing the whole time making sure that I was keeping up the form. I had a great time, and got in some real work.
The gym itself is nice. The class sizes are capped to ensure that there are not too many people in a class. The owner is a good person who was happy to answer all of my questions prior to signing up, before we started exercising, and during the workout. This is an environment I am looking forward to working out in, and definitely worth checking out.
