Getting Started
Thank you for your interest in CrossFit Bay Area. We offer group workouts six days a week. Personal training sessions can also be arranged. Your first workout is always free. We offer a Complimentary class on Saturday’s at 10:00am or we can arrange for you to attend one of our weekly classes. We want you to experience the quality of Coaching at CFBA before making your decision to join.
Crossfit Bay Area was the first to offer CrossFit training in the Clear Lake Area. We have Kettlebells, Dumbbells, Barbells, Bumper Plates, Jump (Plyo) Boxes, Dynamax Medicine Balls, Slam Balls, Gymnastics Rings and 30′ of pull-up bars to effectively train up to 10 athletes at a time, and we do so every day.
The CrossFit program is completely different from the experience you will get at any big box gym. The workouts are done in a small group session, with anywhere 4 to 10 -people. You will learn the Olympic lifts, Kettlebells, Power lifting, basic gymnastics moves and many different kinds of bodyweight exercises. There is a ton of great information about the specifics of the CrossFit methodology on our website.
There are several ways to get started with CrossFit Bay Area (CFBA)
CrossFit Skills (On Ramp) Program
The most popular entry point into our program is with our CrossFit On Ramp Program, which is scheduled at 7:00 PM on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. For the first four weeks that you are a member at CFBA, these are the workouts you will attend. During these 12 sessions, you will learn the skills necessary to integrate smoothly and safely into our regular Group Workouts. Each session will include specific skill training and practice, as well as a CrossFit WOD. These sessions will always have at least 2 Coaches, and will be smaller than our Group Workouts.
After your first 12 CrossFit Skill Sessions (On Ramp) you will be able to attend any of our regularly scheduled Group Workouts. We currently offer 24 different workout times per week. For your first workout with us, please come 30 minutes prior to the start of your workout so you can fill out the paperwork, and we can talk before you start. Your first workout is always free.
One-on-one Sessions
Some people prefer to learn in a one-on-one environment. We can make that arrangement. We will cover the same skills as our CrossFit On Ramp Program. It normally takes about 10 sessions to aquire the needed skills to enjoy any of our Group Workouts.
Test Out
For those people that have been doing CrossFit for a while, either at another Affiliate or on their own, we offer a test-out option. You can contact us and we will schedule a time for you to come in and demonstrate your competence with one of our Coaches. Here is something to consider. We will ask you to demonstrate many different exercises. If, sitting at your computer right now, you know and could demonstrate the difference between a power clean, hang power clean, squat clean, and a hang squat clean, you will probably be fine. If the last sentence was written in a language other than English for you, you should come in for the CrossFit Skills Sessions.
If you have any questions, please contact us. I look forward to working with you.
