Some CrossFit PEI ‘Basic’ Changes!
The Thursday morning ‘Basics’ has been such a hit that we’re going to roll it out and combine it as part of our entry point to CrossFit PEI.
First the new class times: Mondays and Tuesday at 6:45 am. These will both be ‘Basics’ Classes with the focus being on 1 movement for that class and then a workout based upon that movement to follow.
Basics Class as an Entry Point for New Members
The first week of each month will be the time New Members can start their Fundamentals program. They will be able to do their Fundamentals as part of the Basics Classes. New Folks will have to attend 10 classes (price structure will remain the same as the Fundamentals Program, $250) and will take the ‘Basics Test’ at the end before they can enter the regular WOD classes to show their proficiency at the movements they will encounter at the WOD classes.
If someone is not ready for the WOD classes after 10 Basics Classes no big deal! They can continue with the Basics Classes at the regular member rate ($75 per month for 3 classes per week) until they are ready to join a WOD class. We anticipate that for some existing members that the Basics Classes may become the main component of their CrossFit PEI class selections and this is great! Consistency in the Movement is one of the most important concepts to improving at CrossFit or any movement based activity.
CrossFit Basics Test and CrossFit Elements Test
The Basics Test is based on the CrossFit Elements Test. The CrossFit Elements test will be offered to all members within the next two months.
This Test will cover all the Fundamental Movements as well as the other exercises that folks encounter on a regular basis in the WOD classes. There are Levels of Performance to the Elements Test which we can then use to help define your specific goals for the next six months to a year.
All members are welcome and encouraged to attend the Basics Classes with new Fundamentals folks starting the first week of the month.
Basics:
Monday 6:45am
Tuesday 6:45am
Thursday 6am
The regular Monday and Tuesday 6am WOD classes will be running as normal. These Basics Classes are an addition to the schedule.
Is this test “offered” to all members or is it “mandatory?”
Is there still a ”Give it a Go” type a class still so people can try it for free?
How does one get enrolled into the basics classes?
The “Give It a Go” Class is held occassionally to give folks an idea of what CrossFit is about. Dates are pre-set an announced. We have not held them in the summer typically, possible in September.
Basics Test is a take on the Elements Test. It will be offered to all, mandatory TBD, but possibly. It will be useful for goal setting.
To register for Basics for new members its a chq or cash for the same amount as the Fundamentals Program($250). The First Class for Newbies must be a Monday, 6:45am Basics Class. They must have been in contact via email confirming their start date, they then continue for 10 classes on M/Tu/Th.
