Your First CrossFit Class in West Kelowna: What to Expect
Walking into a CrossFit gym for the first time can feel intimidating. Barbells, rigs, a whiteboard full of abbreviations. The good news: at West Kelowna CrossFit you never walk into a group class cold. Here's how it works, step by step.
Step 1: Talk to us first
Text us at 250-575-7758 or send a message through the contact form. We'll ask about your goals, your training history and any injuries, and tell you how we work. There's no pressure and no commitment.
Step 2: The Foundations Course (3 sessions)
Every new member starts with Foundations: three sessions with a coach where you learn the core movements you'll see in class, like squats, deadlifts, presses, pulling and gymnastics basics. Your coach finds where you're starting from and shows you how to scale each movement so it fits you today.
You'll leave Foundations knowing how to move well, what the terms on the whiteboard mean, and how to pick the right weight.
Step 3: Your free week
Finish Foundations and the next week of classes is on us: unlimited classes at any time slot. Try the early mornings, the 9 AM crowd and the after-work classes, then choose the membership that fits your schedule.
What a class looks like
Every class is led by a certified coach and follows the same flow:
- Brief: the coach walks through the day's workout and how to scale it.
- Warm-up and mobility: getting your body ready for the work ahead.
- Strength or skill: a focused piece, like building up a lift or practising a gymnastics movement.
- The workout: the conditioning piece of the day, scaled to you.
- Cool down.
Beginners and experienced athletes do the same workout at different weights and versions of each movement. Nobody is left behind, and nobody is held back.
What to bring
- Comfortable workout clothes and a pair of training shoes
- A water bottle
- Anything your coach should know about (old injuries, recent surgery, pregnancy). Tell us before class so we can adjust.
