Beginner’s Guide to CrossFit: What to Expect in Your First Class.
Stepping into your first CrossFit class can be exciting—and a little intimidating. But don’t worry! At Resolution CrossFit, we welcome all fitness levels, and our goal is to make sure you feel comfortable, supported, and ready to get started. Here’s what you can expect when you walk through our doors for the first time.
1. A Warm Welcome from the Community
One of the best things about CrossFit is the community. From the moment you arrive, you’ll notice that everyone—from the coaches to fellow members—is supportive and encouraging. CrossFit isn’t just a workout; it’s a team effort, and you’ll never feel alone in your fitness journey.
2. A Coach Will Guide You Through Everything
Your first class starts with an introduction to our coaches, who will guide you through every step of the workout. They’ll explain movements, demonstrate proper technique, and answer any questions you have. If you’re new to fitness, don’t worry—our programming is designed to be scalable for all levels.
3. A Warm-Up to Prepare Your Body
We always begin with a structured warm-up to get your muscles moving and your heart rate up. Expect dynamic stretches, bodyweight movements, and drills that prepare you for the workout ahead.
4. Learning the Movements
Before the actual workout starts, the coach will break down key movements and exercises for the day. These can include bodyweight movements, weightlifting techniques, or conditioning drills. We prioritize proper form and mechanics to keep you safe and help you progress efficiently.
5. The Workout of the Day (WOD)
The core of each class is the Workout of the Day (WOD). This varies daily to keep things fun and effective. You’ll see a combination of strength, endurance, and conditioning exercises, all designed to be scalable for beginners. If something feels too challenging, your coach will modify it to match your fitness level.
6. Cool Down and Recovery Tips
After the workout, we’ll guide you through a cool-down routine and give recovery tips to help your body adjust. This includes stretching, mobility work, and hydration reminders to ensure you feel great after class.
7. No Pressure, Just Progress
There’s no need to feel pressured or compare yourself to others. Everyone starts somewhere, and CrossFit is about personal improvement. Whether you’re looking to lose weight, build strength, or improve endurance, we’ll help you get there step by step.
8. What to Bring
For your first class, wear comfortable workout clothes, bring a water bottle, and come with an open mind. If you have athletic shoes, great! If not, don’t worry—your coach will help you find the best options over time.
