Elements Program

CrossFit South Denver Introductory “Elements” Program

CrossFit is an amazingly effective way to improve your overall fitness level using a wide range of functional exercises that you actually use out in the world.  However, as CrossFit is a radically different approach to fitness than most traditional gyms, it generally takes some time and guidance from CrossFit instructors to get beginners to a point where they can safely and effectively participate in our group classes.  We have developed our introductory “elements” program to make your transition as smooth and enjoyable possible!

Our Elements program consists of three one-hour sessions that will provide you with the basic skills you’ll need to participate in our Workout of the Day (“WOD”) .  These classes will be led by a certified CrossFit trainer, who will work with you to build your understanding of the different movements, as well as teach you how to scale more difficult movements to your ability level.
