Plenty of people in Spring Hill have thought about trying CrossFit and talked themselves out of it. The reasons are consistent, and we hear them in almost every intro conversation.
I am not in shape enough yet. Everyone there will be twenty years younger than me. I will be the worst one in the room. Someone will yell at me. I will get hurt.
Some of that describes real gyms. It does not describe this one, and rather than argue about it, here is exactly what happens.
The hour, start to finish
You arrive. A coach greets you by name. If you are new, they already know it, because we knew you were coming.
Whiteboard, about five minutes. The coach walks through the workout, what it is for, and what the options are. Every workout has options. Choosing one is a normal part of training here and not a lesser version of it.
Warm up, about ten minutes. Everyone does it together. This is where the room stops feeling like a room full of strangers.
Skill or strength work, about twenty minutes. Coaching happens here. Your coaches watch you move and tell you what to change. If you have a bad shoulder or a surgery in your history, we adjust for it rather than around it.
The workout, usually ten to twenty minutes. This is the hard part and it is supposed to be. It is also short, and it ends.
Everyone finishes. The people who are done cheer for the people who are still working. Nobody is packing up and walking out. That is a culture we hold on purpose, and it is the single most common thing new members tell us they did not expect.
What we expect from you
Show up three days a week. Tell your coaches the truth about how you feel. Scale when you should. Work hard for the twelve minutes that are hard.
That is the whole list.
What we do not do
We do not run competitions in our group classes. We are not a hype gym. We do not put your score on a screen and rank you against a twenty-six year old who has been doing this for six years.
We also do not promise you a transformation in six weeks, because that promise requires knowing things about your life that we cannot know in advance.
The nutrition part, briefly
Training gets you a long way and it will not outrun a diet that is not working. We talk about food in plain terms, mostly whole foods and enough protein, and we have a coach for it if you want more than that. Nobody is going to hand you a supplement stack.
Common questions before a first class
How long is a class? Sixty minutes, warm-up through cool-down. Times are on the schedule.
Do I need to be in shape before my first class? No. The first week here is built for people who are not.
What should I wear and bring? Workout clothes, athletic shoes and a water bottle. We have the rest.
What does it cost? We do not post prices, because what you pay depends on which membership fits your schedule. We go through the options in the intro and there is no pressure to decide that day. The pricing page covers what each membership includes.
Do I have to sign a contract? No. Membership is billed every four weeks and you can stay on the no-contract rate as long as you like. A six or twelve month term gets you a lower rate, and if you leave one of those early you pay back the difference between your discounted rate and the no-contract rate. There is no fee on top of that.
Can I train outside class times? Yes. Members get 24/7 access to the gym on top of the coached hours.
How to see for yourself
You do not have to commit to find out.
Start with a free No Sweat Intro. Twenty minutes, sitting down, no workout, no gym clothes. You tell us what you are trying to change. We tell you whether we are the right fit, and we will say so if we are not.
If you would rather just watch a class before talking about anything, we will put you in one for free on a day that is not technical. Ask for it.
