Overview
The Level 1 offers expert instruction on the CrossFit methodology through two days of classroom instruction, small-group training sessions, and coach-led workouts. The Level 1 environment and all aspects of the course are supportive of all levels of athletes, from the absolute beginner to the more experienced.
In addition to our regularly scheduled CrossFit Level 1 and CrossFit Level 2 Courses, we also offer private CrossFit courses. Visit this page to learn how to host a private Level 1 or Level 2 for your organization.
INSIDE THE LEVEL 1 COURSE
Instruction includes lectures on foundational movements, the CrossFit methodology, nutrition, and programming.
Breakout sessions focus on improving individual participants’ mechanics while instructors engage participants in a dialogue that illuminates and reinforces effective coaching strategies.
Workouts provide examples of how to conduct a group class, hold a standard of proper mechanics when working at high intensity, and scale movements for any ability level.
