FAQ

 

 I have no arm strength; wont this be  waste of time, I cannot push up, let alone pull up. This  day is about progressions and adaptions: once you understand the principles of working across gravity, rather than against it, you will be able to adapt all the crossfit exercises, and then learn the next progression   to help you improve your strength. We make the coaching process  very explicit so you can continue to teach yourself

 

So I do this course and Im sorted?

 

This is six hours of skill teaching, not training. We hope to get you to a level where you can train on your  own, at the end of the six hours some will have picked it all up, others will struggle and want to reattend. But these are skills, which need practise. Its not about sitting in a machine a   working one joint; you need to learn to coordinate and balance yourself. But, if you pay attention to the progressions and the drills, you will have a lot of  “sign posts” in your training.

 

Im a fitness instructor/personal trainer. Will this session be any good for me?

 

As We find a lot of  personal trainers to be weak and  uncoordinated  this is an ideal session to come to. However, The aim of this session is not to certify individuals to teach Crossfit or Olympic weightlifting or gymnastics. If you genuinely aspire to teach, this course will give you a massive advantage over others embarking on their first certification. Crossfit certification seminars are frequently available in the USA.

 During the session you will be able to talk to those who have done their certifications, and those in the process of preparing to go.

 we must say that  we have seen many strong and able PT's come to our sessions who have learnt and shared and enriched the session.

Im not serious about crossfit, I just want to add a few extra skills to my training

 

That’s fine. Loyalty to crossfit is not demanded. We are  just delighted to share our skill set.

 

 Do we get a book and a t shirt?

 

 There will be a course maunel  and t shirts to buy on the day. We decided to give you the option of buying them if you wanted. Nice aren’t

I cannot make that date! when are the others?
