HOW DO I GET STARTED?
Get in touch!
Typically, we will want to know how familiar you are with CrossFit so we can make a plan for how to get you started. Feel free to ask questions that matter to you, like whether we offer classes at the times you need.
Get ready for your first session.
All you need is a pair of relatively flat gym shoes, workout clothes and a water bottle.
Learn the essentials with a coach.
Each CrossFit gym has its own way of getting people started. We offer a free taster session, so we can have a chat and get to know what you need from your fitness. Then we can lead you through an induction pack, including a 1-hour induction.
Get going with group classes.
CrossFit gyms run one-hour classes to do the workout of the day or ‘WOD’. A qualified coach will run the group through the workout, and scale and modify the movements and amount of work to be appropriately challenging for each person’s needs. At the start of the class, we will explain the workout and ‘decode’ words and abbreviations that may not be immediately clear (like AMRAP – as many reps or rounds as possible).
Choose your membership plan.
We have a few options to suit your workout needs, including a unlimited monthly plan (allowing you to come to as many classes per month as you would like), limited plans (allowing you to come to a set number of sessions) an open gym and class pack, a 10 session ‘punch card’ and access to the morning Express class.
We administrate all our memberships on the free BoxMate app, where you can book sessions, track your progress and support other members with simple likes and comments.
To join CrossFit Oakham, you just need to call us and book your first taster session.
A quick introduction to CrossFit from the CrossFit Worldwide Youtube Channel.
““Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and no sugar. Practice and train major lifts: deadlift, clean, squat, presses, clean and jerk, and snatch. Similarly, master the basics of gymnastics: pull-ups, dips, rope climb, push-ups, sit-ups, presses to handstand, pirouettes, flips, splits, and holds. Bike, run, swim, row, etc. Hard and fast. Five or six days per week, mix these elements in as many combinations and patterns as creativity will allow. Routine is the enemy. Keep workouts short and intense. Regularly learn and play new sports.””
