As of this Monday (3rd October 2011) we have introduced a core course that all new joiners to Thames Crossfit are required to attend. It is called ‘The Foundations Course’.
Aims of the Foundations Course:
- Designed to give those who are new to Crossfit a solid introduction to the basic movements, techniques and mechanics of the fundamental movements used in Crossfit.
- Develop the students knowledge of what exactly Crossfit is and the theory behind the methodology.
- Build up the students base level of fitness in a safe and progressive way so they can reap the benefits of our training program.
- Prepare the students to confidently enter ongoing group sessions and participate in a safe and effective manner.
What the Foundations Course involves:
- Introduction to the gym environment and use of equipment.
- Teaching on the technical aspects of the fundamental movements of Crossfit.
- Teaching students how to properly warm-up and mobilse areas of restriction in relation to movement.
- Give students experience of different forms of Crossfit workouts and understanding of related terminology.
- A typical session involves warm-up & mobility, in-depth technique on movements of the day, a progressive strength component and of course a Crossfit workout at the end.
Foundations Course details
- Each course is 6 sessions long over a 2 week period.
- Sessions are 3 days per week (Monday, Wednesday & Thursday at 7:30pm) and students are expected to attend all sessions.
- At the end of the course students must demonstrate they can perform the movements and exercises to the required standards before graduating.
