Overview
As a CrossFit coach, you’re offering training built on varied, high-intensity functional movements. Established in 2000 by former gymnast Greg Glassman, most classes happen in specialized gyms called “boxes,” where the layout and culture are designed to push people safely and consistently while keeping the energy high. As a coach, you’re motivating folks to tap into their full potential and take control of their health, while building a community that supports and challenges one another.
Certification Programs
CrossFit Coaches have tiered certification levels, and you’ll progress from a Level 1 Certified CrossFit Coach to Level 4 by progressing through incremental two-day classes offered by the organization.
The Basics of Yoga
At its core, CrossFit aims to enhance overall fitness by integrating a mix of weight training, calisthenics, and endurance exercises into constantly varied routines. The philosophy behind this variation is rooted in the idea that the human body can quickly adapt to repetitive movements, leading to a plateau in fitness progress. By continually mixing up workouts, CrossFit helps participants avoid these plateaus, ensuring ongoing improvement and keeping the workouts both challenging and engaging.
The high-intensity aspect of CrossFit is another significant component of its appeal. High-intensity training is known to improve both muscular fitness and aerobic capacity more effectively than moderate-intensity workouts. Moreover, these intense sessions are designed to deliver maximum results in a shorter time frame, which is ideal for individuals who attend hour-long classes at certified gyms.
