What is CrossFit

 
CrossFit = Results
  
The Box (Gym)
     At CrossFit Native, we do not have any fancy equipment!  No treadmills, bikes, ellipticals, and no one talking on the phone while you workout. You are the fancy equipment! 
  
Workout Of the Day (WOD)
     By keeping the training and workouts constantly varied (if not random), using functional movement and raising the level of intensity, your body does not have a chance to adapt!  No workout is ever the same!  You don't have a chance to get bored with it! Our workouts instill teamwork, camaraderie, motivation, focus, family and a sense of belonging.
 
Coaches/Trainers
     Each one of our staff is a Crossfit Certified Trainer!  You will be under constant supervision by our trained staff to ensure that not only are you getting the most out of every workout, our trainers are there to encourage and ensure you are using proper form as well. 
 
Group Training
     Offers a high level of personal attention with the addition of positive peer influence. Natural camaraderie, competition and fun of sport, yield competition and intensity that is unparalleled. You are motivated to push harder in a group dynamic. Private and semi-private training is available upon request.  We are not an "Open Gym"! 

 

CrossFit vs. Aspen/All American

     So what is the difference?  EVERYTHING!!  All classes at CrossFit Native are run by a CrossFit Certified trainer.  Our staff is educated and eager to help you reach your goals.  Our short workouts are intense and effective!  No more wandering around the gym not knowing what to do or how that machine works?  The biggest thing CrossFit has to offer is the "family".  Once you have poured yourself out in front of each other a bond forms, it is truly magical.

 

Who is CrossFit for?

     Everyone!  Everyone can enjoy the benefits from CrossFit workouts.  Functional Movements are just that.  Movements that we use in day to day life.  I have seen children who CrossFit become the best in their sport; teenagers earn college scholarships because they are elite athletes; moms and dads enjoying life to the fullest and; seniors who have kept themselves out of nursing homes because they continued to stay active!  At CrossFit Native we offer CrossFit and CrossFit Kids (Teens) classes.

 

Do Women CrossFit?

     Yes!  And you don't have to worry about getting big and bulky!  Check out some of the pictures of women who CrossFit, they look very "Fit". We offer a Boot Camp 4 Women class for our female clients who are not comfortable working out with "the guys".

 

How do I get started?

     At CrossFit Native we offer On-Ramp classes!  It is our beginners class to CrossFit!  A month long program designed to bring you up to speed.  Upon completion you will be ready to join CrossFit classes.

 

World-Class Fitness in 100 Words:

  • Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and no sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise but not body fat.
  • Practice and train major lifts: Deadlift, clean, squat, presses, C&J, and snatch. Similarly, master the basics of gymnastics: pull-ups, dips, rope climb, push-ups, sit-ups, presses to handstand, pirouettes, flips, splits, and holds. Bike, run, swim, row, etc, hard and fast.
  • Five or six days per week mix these elements in as many combinations and patterns as creativity will allow. Routine is the enemy. Keep workouts short and intense.
  • Regularly learn and play new sports.

The CrossFit Mindset

  1. I will promise to do my best. My best will vary from day to day, from hour to hour, from minute to minute. But in that minute, I will do the very best that I can.
  2. Anything that opposes me is actually helping me to become stronger. If I had no opposition, I would be weak.
  3. If I can run, I run. If I have to walk, I walk. When I am forced to crawl, I crawl. And then I rest and live to fight another day.
  4. I fear no man but I fear my workout. If I don't fear my workout, it isn't hard enough.
  5. I may puke. I may cry. But I will not quit. Ever.
  6. I never cheat. There is no honor in cheating. What joy can there be in a victory I did not earn?
  7. The workout missed is the opportunity missed. I will not cheat myself of the opportunity to become a better athlete and person.
  8. I understand the value of the push-up, the pull-up, the sit-up, the squat, and the deadlift. There is million ways to squat, sit up, pull up, push up, and deadlift.
  9. I will give everything I have. And then I will find more within myself.
  10. I don't complain. Complaining is for crybabies. I will leave the crying to them and I will soldier on.
  11. I will bite off challenges, spit out results, and beg for more. What are you going to do?
