The coaching you’ll receive at CrossFit Avalanche and CrossFit Blizzard isn’t like what you’d get at your average gym where in most cases, you don’t get any coaching at all – you’re simply let loose to follow the instructional pictures on machines. Our coaching methodology doesn’t subscribe to machines and three sets of 10. We implement various strategies to help our clients attain their fitness goals, from nutrition counseling to experienced coaching on complex movements.

 

Athletes who train at CrossFit Avalanche and CrossFit Blizzard will learn the benefits of Olympic weightlifting, power lifting, kettlebells and basic gymnastic and bodyweight movements. We focus our attention on effectively coaching our clients to move efficiently, realize their athletic potential and achieve their fitness goals.

 

To ensure our clients are provided every opportunity to succeed in a non-intimidating environment, we offer private coaching, Elements classes and group CrossFit classes so our members can start where they’re most comfortable.

 

 

Expect to:

• Have fun

• Learn how to properly (and safely) workout

• Receive a high level of coaching from a professional trainer

• Improve athletic performance, physique and overall fitness

• Make new friends

 

 

 

What is Expected of You:

• To show up. Most clients work out 3+ days per week.

• Leave your ego at the door. It is most important to workout at “your” level.

• Arrive on time, with a good attitude, open mind, readiness to learn and desire to work hard.

• Constantly strive to improve.

• Train consistently. There is no “magic pill.” Workout often and you will get fit.

Class Duration

You made a good decision about proactively maintaining your health when you walked through our door to experience your first CrossFit class. Welcome to the CrossFit community! You will find that CrossFit Avalanche and CrossFit Blizzard are made up of athletes of varying abilities, ages, sizes and shapes, but everyone has one thing in common...

 

The desire to improve their health and overall fitness.

 

What To Wear

Clothes you can workout in that will allow you full range of motion. With regard to footwear, any type of athletic shoes will suffice, however some people prefer flat soled training shoes (less heel than common running shoes), as well as Olympic Lifting shoes for those days when we’re weightlifting.

 

 

Sign-up for Class

Advance registration for all classes is required. Our goal is to provide you with great service. We can accommodate many participants in one class, however if we know how many to expect, we can plan workouts more efficiently and ensure we’ll have plenty of equipment for everyone.

 

Please create an account on Wodify. You may sign up one week in advance, and as late as 15 minutes prior to the start of class.

 

CrossFit can be as intense as you make it. Only you know what you’re capable of. Remember to be realistic about your current fitness level as you are getting started. We suggest you ease your way into the program by following these tips:

 

• Listen to your body! If you’re physically hurting and risking injury, STOP what you’re doing.

• It is OK to take breaks for survival during CrossFit workouts.

• Form: Proper form or movement mechanics comes first.

• Repeat proper form over and over.

• Increase intensity by increasing speed, weight or volume of reps ONLY after steps 1 and 2 are constant.

• NEVER compromise form to improve your time!

• It is more than OK to use lighter weight on workouts to maintain proper form. If you use lighter weight just so you can “win” the fastest time, that’s when it’s not cool.

• This is about self-improvement, not self-promotion. Leave your ego at the door and make the intensity level the best you can vs. comparing yourself to others.
