If you’re thinking any of these things, you’re not alone.
- I’m too unfit for CrossFit.
- I’ve never lifted weights before.
- Everyone will be much fitter than me.
- I haven’t exercised in years.
- I’m overweight.
- I’m worried I’ll look stupid.
- CrossFit looks really hard.
Here's the good news:
You don’t need to solve any of those problems before you join. That’s what your coaches are there for.
WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS AT CFG?
So, what happens when you start?
1. We talk
We’ll find out about your experience, goals and anything that might affect how you train. Then we discuss prices and joining.
2. We teach
You’ll learn the fundamental movements and progressions to keep you safe and familiar.
3. We scale
Everyone does the workout, but not necessarily the same workout. We adjust movements, weights, reps and intensity to suit you.
4. You build
As you become more confident and capable, your training progresses with you. At your pace. Better each day.
THE ON-RAMP
New to CrossFit? Our On-Ramp is designed for you.
Our four-session On-Ramp gives you time to learn the basics, get comfortable in the gym and understand how CrossFit works before joining regular classes.
- 4 × 60-minute coached sessions
- Learn the fundamental movements
- Get comfortable with the equipment
- Ask as many questions as you like
Already Experienced with CrossFit? Then tell us during your intro and we can fast track you to a suitable membership.
What if I’m really unfit?
That’s OK. We have people who arrive at CFG already very fit, and people who haven’t exercised properly for years. The workout is adjusted to the person doing it.
Your starting point doesn’t matter. Your progress does.
What if I want to lose weight?
Strength and conditioning training assists in losing body fat as well as building mental resilience and discipline, forming healthy habits. We also assist in nutrition and offer health checks.
