| - I knew nothing of crossfit or any of the moves involved. I started with some private one-on-one sessions (highly recommended if you afford it) with Isaac. He was awesome, stern and strict yet never demeaning and always encouraging. The workouts were intense and got me hooked. I then joined on the prep course, which everyone new must take for a month before you are ready for the reg class. I wasn't fully confident in myself achieving the moves after my sessions with Isaac, so the owners Lindsay and Zach let me do a week and half in the prep. After those 10 days my confidence was sky high and i was ready.
I started going in the evening (they have classes at 730a, 10a, 12p, 4p, 5p, 6p, and 7p. and Nicole was my trainer/teacher. She rocks as well. For every class the trainer has the group get warmed up, usually running 400m and doing some unusual stretches. Once that is done, the trainer will go over with the group what the workout is and the class usually practices all the moves for a 20-30 minutes. Once ready, we are given the workout and the trainer will assign reps and weight to everyone. They realize all members are at different stages in their physical fitness and scale accordingly. Then the workout occurs which could range from 5 minutes long to 40 minutes long, all the while your trainer is walking around encouraging and correcting.
The facility is big enough to handle classes of 25 with ease and it's always very clean and no odor!
If you are thinking about doing crossfit, crossfit max effort is the only option for you. It's affordable, non-threatening, easy location to get to, great workouts, and most of all they make it fun.
I've never been to any gym where the owners and all the trainers know EVERY person's name, it's just a testament of how serious they are about their clients and how great of people they all are.
If still on the fence, they'll usually give you a free training to test you and see if it's a good fit.
