What is Women Only CrossFit 101?

Our Women’s Only CrossFit 101 class welcomes all women who want to jump start their health and fitness in a supportive, non-intimidating environment!

This class, taught by coach Kristen, will introduce and build upon CrossFit-style workouts while taking into account each person’s fitness level and experience. Designed for first-timers and women wanting to learn the foundational movements that we use in CrossFit.

Participants will learn movement techniques, progressions, and scaling methods. We introduce participants to the intensity levels that are inherent in our group classes. We focus on conditioning, building core strength, teaching proper form and technique and improving your overall fitness and state of mind.

How does the program work?

This is a four week course with one hour classes that take place at 6 am Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

What is required of participants to be successful?

The most important factor in a participant’s success is attendance. Participants must also be willing to try new things and be ready to give and receive encouragement from fellow classmates and coaches. Participants are expected to give their best effort each and every session.

Are there any physical requirements?

Ideally participants should be able to get from a standing position to the ground and then back to standing without assistance from another person. Basic mobility such as being able to extend both arms overhead and pick up an object from the ground will allow participants to do the workouts. As with any exercise program, participants should be considered healthy enough to exercise.

This is a perfect way to make working out social, energetic, and effective! Ladies, start your engines! Sign up with a friend and receive a 10% discount.

"I’ve always struggled with being overweight and doing something about it. When my best friend told me about CrossFit, I thought she was delusional. There was no way I could hang around with six-pack toting, elite athletes performing exercises beyond my comprehension. CrossFit seemed impossible, but I had to do something to change my life or face the very real alternative of my life being cut short. Thankfully, Arbor started offering a Basics Boot Camp. I signed up, took the classes, and soon realized that CrossFit is not impossible, it’s accessible. I learned about the foundational movements, Olympic lifts, and how much fun kicking your own butt, while exercising, can be. The best part of Basics Boot Camp was my fellow boot campers and coach, Kristen. It’s a community of people who support you, motivate you, and push you to reach your full potential and more. They become family who talk about everything from your max clean and jerk to how your job is going, and what your favorite local brewery is (Payette Brewing). It was a great introduction to CrossFit, and the catalyst for my weight loss and healthy living. CrossFit has taught me that things are only impossible if you let them be. If this work-in-progress-determined-fat-kid can do it, you can to." - Leon Samuels (Fall 2014 Class)

"I want to say thank you. Thank you for recognizing the gap that exists for people who want to start CrossFit but aren’t in any kind of shape and those who are in shape and can assimilate into the regular CrossFit WODs. I wanted to like CrossFit but jumping in full-bore the first time around without any foundation was rough and, due to my own competitive nature and ignorance, I hurt myself and couldn’t come back for what seemed like forever. I’d almost chalked it off completely. When you told me about the Boot Camp I was willing to give it another go and I’m so glad I did. The Boot Camp group is small enough that I don’t feel overwhelmed with social interaction - important for me because, well - people in my bubble! Kristin is amazing. She breaks learning down into sizable chunks that stick with me. During the workout, I never feel like I’m not part of the group even though I’m very often last - it’s just me against the WOD. Anyway, I just wanted you to know I’m inspired. I’m excited and I can’t wait to move forward. I’m a runner at heart so I’m thinking I’ll land in the Endurance class first but will pick up a House WOD once a week. You’re building something special at Arbor. Know that people notice. - Lisa Jenkins (Winter 2014 Class)
