Your Questions & Answers

  • What is CrossFit?

    CrossFit is the principal strength and conditioning program for many police academies and tactical operations teams, military special operations units, champion martial artists, and hundreds of other elite and professional athletes worldwide. Since then it has evolved to be an all inclusive fitness program for people of any athletic capability.

    Our program delivers a fitness that is, by design, broad, general, and inclusive. Our specialty is not specializing.

    The CrossFit program is designed for universal scalability making it the perfect application for any committed individual regardless of experience. We’ve used our same routines for elderly individuals with heart disease and cage fighters one month out from televised bouts. We scale load and intensity; we don’t change programs.

    The needs of Olympic athletes and our grandparents differ by degree not kind. Our armed forces, skiers, mountain bike riders and housewives have found their best fitness from the same regimen.

    Be better than you were yesterday, and we’ll show you how to do the rest.

  • I’m new to CrossFit, what should I expect?

    Classes consist of a combination of the following different fitness components; Metabolic Conditioning/Cardio (Run, Row, Burpees, Box Jumps, Wall Balls), Gymnastics (Pull-Ups, Push-Ups, Dips, Ropes, Muscle-Ups) and Powerlifting /Olympic Weightlifting (Clean/Jerk, Snatch, Press, Squat, Deadlift).  When you walk into the gym you will be greeted by the coach! At the front of the “RIG” (the big black structure in the middle of the room) there will be a pile of equipment, this is what you will need for class.  Go gather your gear and  pick your “spot” which is where you will spend most of class time.  Class is a full 60 minutes.  You will be led through a warmup, skill development and then the WOD. 

  • Is CrossFit Dangerous?

    In short, yes CrossFit can be dangerous.

    But not in the ways you might believe.  With inexperienced coaches, shoddy equipment and the wrong attitude, CrossFit can be very dangerous – but so can riding your bike or driving your car. The experienced and proven CrossFit coaches you’ll find a CrossFit Steamboat will ensure that you’re training in the safest, most effective, and efficient way possible.

  • What is a WOD?

    A WOD is the workout of the day. We program a different WOD everyday. People’s fitness levels improve rapidly because we are constantly varying your training using functional movements at high intensity.

  • What do you mean by community?

    Here at CF Steamboat we are more than just athletes that train to get in shape to be ready for what we love. We are a community of friends and family that work hard together and support one another in their fitness goals. Being accountable to others works to our advantage. We cheer each other on until the last person is done, we sweat and celebrate everything together. People come to CF to get in shape, to look better naked and to BE READY for the things they love to do but they stay for the amazing community of people.
