Taking it to the next level!

Follow May as he climbs to the next level!

Adding to our great service that we provide at CrossFit Zone, we are going to be adding three more leveled classes starting March 1st, 2012.

We are bringing on an Intermediate level class for that smooth transition from the beginner athletes not quite ready to hit those RX wods,  but throw down workouts with some intensity.

What to expect in the Level 2 class:

• Technique focus:  we will be spending more time focusing on technique at an intermediate level than the Level 1 class
• Build confidence in yourself by doing workouts with athletes at the same abilities

Who can attend:

• 3 months minimum of CrossFit experience (if under 3 months, you must be invited by the Coach to attend)
• Someone still working on building a base level of strength and conditioning and technical expertise.
• Baseline Workout time is between 5:30 – 8:00.
• Familiar with the names of movements, but still unsure of the amount of weight to use, and exactly how to do many of the more complex CrossFit movements.
• Working at at the Zone 3 level for 75% of your workouts

The Level 2 – Intermediate classes will run:

• Monday 6:30pm
• Tuesday 12:15pm
• Thursday 9:30am

The Level 1 classes have been running for two weeks now, and we are looking for any feedback from athletes…

1. Have you attended a level 1 class?
2. Did you find there was more emphasis on learning technique at a basic level?
3. Did you enjoy your class?
4. Was the coach helpful?
5. Is there anything that we can do to make your experience even better?
