Take our 6 Week Accountability Challenge

CrossFit begins with a desire to do better, the aim is to balance general and inclusive fitness.

CrossFit was developed to define fitness in a meaningful & measurable way, assessing physical tasks used most commonly around the world across a wide range of sports and forming these into functional movements. CrossFit is also the community that arises when people do the workouts together, the communal aspect of CrossFit is a key component of why it’s so effective.

Although it is true that we train complex movements at CrossFit Raven, we understand that most people (even seasoned athletes) feel they are not ready to just jump right into a CrossFit workout. We assess the abilities of all our clients, teach them the fundamentals, then ease them into the workouts at a comfortable pace. Our focus is safety first, then efficiency and finally intensity. You don’t get in shape to do CrossFit, you do CrossFit to get in shape.

No, every movement we do is scalable. We will scale technical movements to suit your abilities. We will train you with new movements along the way so your scaled movements are progressing but you won’t be expected to perform any movements you are not trained to do.

Of course! We are a very family orientated community, with that we understand the balance of looking after your family and looking after yourself. We have a kids area in the center of our gym so your kids can enjoy the toys and watch you train so they feel safe at all times.

Have no fear.

The WOD (workout of the day) is made to challenge everyone based on their level of fitness. But that same workout can be scaled to suit the needs of each member in the class. We can change the weight, repetitions, rounds, and distances to fit your ability (we call it scaling). Modifying the WOD helps to prevent you from over-exerting yourself and decreases overwhelming soreness.

Our classes run for a 1 hour duration including warmup, workout and stretch, with the exception of our 12:15 pm class, which is an express 45 minute class.

No! You are here to get fit.

Our classes are held for all levels of fitness. At the beginning of each class the coach will demonstrate and brief all the movements for the workout with scaled varieties to suit your personal level of fitness. You might be performing different movements to the person beside you but you will be working the same muscles with the same intensity.

Yes, any class time is available for all athletes participating in our 6-week challenge as well as any Friday specialty classes to help with any extra technique work you might want to do.

No, you are welcome to attend classes every day Monday – Saturday. We are asking our challenge participants to do a minimum of 3 classes per week.

Put simply – Coaching and accountability.
Having a knowledgeable coach available during class will reduce the risk of injury, improve your fitness faster, and correct any technique problems. Working out alone, unable to see your own movements, can be demotivating or lead to a number of bad habits that will only be harder to correct in the future.

A big part of CrossFit is community, family, and camaraderie. Having a good base of positive people around you is the best environment to train in. Not only will you be pushed harder because of the support from everyone, but you will have a great time doing it.

We will create a private Facebook group for all participants doing our challenge. This will allow you to share your achievements, any strategies that have been working for you as well as contact our coaching team with any questions. Before and after classes you can discuss your training with any of our CrossFit Raven team.
