Getting Started

At CFNM, we make starting CrossFit simple, fun, and non-intimidating. If you are new to the program, you will begin in our ELEMENTS classes. Because our focus is on quality instruction, safety and effectiveness, you must complete at least 8 classes of ELEMENTS before entering our group CrossFit classes. Clients with no previous experience in similarly demanding training must also progress through a series of sessions via either the ELEMENTS classes or private sessions before being eligible for the open CrossFit classes.

These initial training sessions will allow us to both familiarize you with the program as well as carefully teach you excellent technique for the program’s foundational exercises. This will ensure that both you and your coaches are able to train you to the fullest potential. Clients who do have previous experience may be eligible to enter classes directly. Generally this requires at least a few months of similar training at a reputable facility or recent athletic training experience. If you feel you’re prepared to enter directly, please call us for a FREE session assessment. If we believe your skill and capacity are adequate, you will be able to begin attending classes immediately. If we feel you’re in need of work, we’ll require you to attend either the ELEMENTS program or private sessions.
