B3F CrossFit CLASSES

The primary component of this training is delivered through our starters and regulars classes, and supplemented by specialized classes, nutrition advice and specialized events. Surround yourself with a community of friends and coaches who will encourage, motivate and hold you accountable to achieving your fitness goals.

Starters class
All new B3F athletes who do not have extensive experience with CrossFit should take at least one starters class. Starters will learn the basic movement patterns, Olympic lifts and gymnastics techniques at easy pace, and then encouraged to build the strength, flexibility and stamina required for the regulars class.
Regulars class
Regulars classes combine constantly varied functional movements, weightlifting, gymnastics and conditioning exercises into an hour-long session. During warm-up, strength, skill and metabolic conditioning sessions, athletes will be guided to safely perform at the high intensity required for sustained progress.
The nine foundational movements of CrossFit
CrossFit functional training is based on nine foundational movements, and all the exercises you will do during a CrossFit class is either one or a combination of several of these foundations. Take a moment to look at the clips below and if you have the time practice them at home with a broom stick. You can approach the nine foundational movements of functional training as three levels. The movements all build upon each other, getting more complex as they progress from Level 1 to Level 3. It is very important to master these movements with good technique and practice them often! All new members must understand the nine foundational movements. See all nine foundational movements of CrossFit.
