Foundation Classes

Our beginners classes are a series of 6 classes where our Coaches will take you through all the different skill sets needed for CrossFit and once they feel you are ready and confident to progress to the next level you can start attending the WODs and other classes that are on offer here.

  • Compound strength movements: Front Squat, Back Squat, Overhead Squat, Deadlift, Strict Press, Push-press, Weighted Lunges
  • The Olympic Lifts and associated assistance exercises: Snatch, Clean & Jerk (power and hang variations)
  • Kettle-bell work: Swings, Snatch, Clean & Press
  • Body Weight Movements: Pull-ups, ring dips, muscle-ups, handstand press-ups, box jumps, double-unders, toes-to-bar, knees to elbows, burpies.

It is called a foundation course for a reason – nothing solid and permanent is built without great foundations
Whether you are an experienced athlete or a complete beginner, the course will help you master these movements and get you ready for the daily WOD (workout of the day).

The course will run over a weekend on a Saturday and Sunday. Spaces are limited so if you want to get started book in here for our next foundation course.

wods

WOD stands for Workout of the Day. Here at CF Verulam, we design our own WOD programming that promotes a well-balanced mix of metabolic conditioning, skill development and strength conditioning. It will include a wide variance of movements and types of exercise in as many different combinations as possible. The WOD is usually time or task specific to test you and keep you working hard. The WOD will include advanced-level (RX'd or As Prescribed) weights, reps and rounds for men and women. The coaches will show athletes how to scale the WOD if necessary during class according to varying fitness and proficiency levels. You will rarely complete the same WOD twice and can be sure it is always interesting and challenging. All you have to do is show up!

Mobility Classes

In this class, you will relieve stress after a tough workout, relieve nagging pains from an injury and prepare your body for intense workouts. 

Want to complete a deeper squat? or get your arms into a strong overhead position? This is the class.... Mobility Class Coaches will show you how to use fitness tools to improve the movements in your joints and muscles, increase your fitness potential, decrease possible injuries and become a better athlete.  

The movements in Mobility Class will help condition your body to complete that position that you’ve been working on for months whilst at the same time you will discover new areas to mobilise, be shown how to do it correctly and be provided with a series of beneficial exercises to keep you moving forwards.

Gymnastic Strength Classes

Gymnastic Strength Classes aim to build on your strong upper bodies, tight efficient positions and core strength. You will use a mixture of the rings, pull up bars, floor drills and spend a fair chunk of time using your hands pulling, pushing,  hanging, lifting and twisting.....all good fun really.

This class gives you the chance to build a strong foundation in your fundamental positions and basic gymnastic skills, dish/arch, leg lifts, skin the cats etc will give you better body awareness, make you stronger and more efficient in WODS

Gymnastic Strength classes are for most people. Most moves will have a scaleable version, but to really get benefit from the class, a basic kick up to handstand (against the wall/spotter), and being able to hang from the bar reasonably comfortably will be beneficial.

These challenges can be a one off activity or an ongoing health and fitness program. Putting your team through the physical/mental aspects of the CrossFit challenges can be a great way to build trust and integrity within your group as well as providing an opportunity to blow off a bit of steam or breath new life into your sports training program.
