Intro Session
During our no obligation, complimentary intro session, one of our professional coaches will take you through the essential movements used in CrossFit, answer any questions you may have about the program and put you through a short, intense WOD to give you a taste of what we do. The purpose of this session is to help us serve you better by getting to know your goals and expectations, fitness level, and experience. At the end of your session, we’ll recommend the membership options and programs that would be best suited for you. Intro sessions are by appointment only and are required before you can sign up for any other classes.
Each and every Saturday at 12pm, we hold a free intro class for anyone interested in learning more about the program. If Saturdays don’t work well for you, we can schedule a time M-F, during one of class times in Southie Orange. If you would like to set up the intro session, please confirm for Saturday or take a look at our schedule and Contact Us with some days and times that work best for you and we will get you in ASAP.
CrossFit Classes
Each of our classes is led by one or more of our professional coaches. Each day in our Blog, we post a Workout of the Day (WOD). The daily WOD is a variation of movements that involve weight-lifting, gymnastics, and metabolic conditioning. Do not feel intimidated if you are unable to excute the program as written. All programs can be modified by scaling load and intensity, all ability levels are encouraged and welcome!
CrossFit Southie classes require membership enrollment. Membership rates are determined by the number of classes you participate in each week. We do not require a down payment, nor do we require a long term commitment.
Once enrolled in CrossFit Southie classes you are welcome to participate at any of the scheduled class times. Some of our busier classes require preregistration to prevent over crowding. Please see below for more info on pre-registration.
Fellow CrossFitters that belong to a different Box may swing by and take a class at our $20 drop in rate. Please show up a few minutes before class to fill out a waiver. No contact necessary.
L1/L2 Classes
CrossFit works! Everyday our athletes make it to class, they become more fit and better at the functional movements involved in CrossFit. We now offer classes to accomodate both the vetran CrossFitter and the newbie. Our L1/L2 classes are slower paced, focusing on the technical movements involved in CrossFit. These classes are great for the 2x/week athlete or the newbie looking to ramp up their fitness level and fitness education. Being surrounded with peers of similar ability levels, in a less intimidating environment, provides for a comfortable learning experience, with more focused individual attention and guidance to help build a strong foundation during the early stages of your CrossFit career. Tell your friends that are on the fence about getting involved, it will be the best advice you ever gave them.
Level 1 and level 2 classes will be a requirement for new members. The level 1 and level 2 classes are NOT exclusively for beginners, they are for anyone who wants a more detailed overview of the movements being covered that day, and for those who want to be surrounded by athletes of their same level. Southie is a really unique box, we have a ton of serious athletes who are tough to keep up with; the level 1 and level 2 classes will allow members to work seperate from the elite, and for some may make for a more positive experience. If you find that you are using level 1 & 2 weight/modifications don’t be afraid to give these classes a try at least once. You are always welcome in the All Levels classes, but it could really help your progress by getting the extra attention.
Open Gym Hours and Mobility Class do not count towards your weekly total of classes. There will be a coach present during open gym hours to supervise and help athletes with skill work. If you have only been doing crossfit for less then 6 months you cannot train exclusively during open gym hours. You must take at least one class/week. Working out in a class setting is what produces the most progress and the most efficient results.
Check out our Class Schedule.
The schedule is not the same Monday through Friday. Make sure you look at the schedule before you come in.
Personal Training
Personal Training offers an even more focused approach than the class setting. Sessions are designed for members that want individualized coaching on specific CrossFit skills and goals, as well as those who prefer individual training to group training. More info on Personal training can be found on the FAQ page.
Mobility
Flexibility/mobility restrictions lead to poor mechanical positions in the gym and in life and when unaddressed low quality movement patterns inevitably lead to nagging pain and injury. Pure laziness, and/or lack of time, often prevents us from dealing with these issues. We have added free mobility classes here at Southie to help cut the excuses and ensure that you keep your body tuned up. The mobility wizard, Coach Berretta, uses stretch bands, lacrosse balls and everything inbetween to get you moving pain free.
Class Pre-Registration
In order to preserve quality of training and prevent absolute mayhem, we are know requiring pre-registration for some of our more popular classes. The 9am and 11am class on Saturday, the 9am and 10am class on Sunday and all 6pm and 630pm classes during the week require pre-registration. Please note: if you do not pre-register for a class and show up anyway, you may be turned away if the class is full. Pre-Registration is simple. It can be done right here on the website. Just click on the Class Registration tab above and the class schedule will pop up. Click on a class you would like to register for and then follow the on screen instructions. If you have trouble pre-registering you may have provided us with an incorrect e-mail or we are unable to read your chicken scratch. Please resend your e-mail to info@crossfitsouthie.com and we will get you set up. You can register for classes anywhere from a week in advance until right before the class is about to start. Class reservations may be canceled up to a day before the scheduled class. Please note: if you register for a class, it is your responsibility to show up, the class is counted towards your membership either way. Let us know if you have any questions.
