Getting started at PCCF

You have never done CrossFit, or you have some experience but are not comfortable jumping into a group class.

FIRST:

Schedule a FREE, one-on-one Intro session with one of our instructors, where you’ll get a chance to learn more about our program, and talk more about Pacific Crest CrossFit. These sessions are conducted via Zoom, and are required before you start training with us. if you have never done CrossFit before. We use them to get a better idea of what your goals are, and how we can best help you achieve them. During the session, we’ll assess your fitness level, prior experience, and any issues that may prevent you from making progress as quickly as possible.

  • Sign up for a one-on-one intro using the form found here.

NEXt:

Skill-based training is necessary before it makes sense to join group classes. Here’s why:

  1. CrossFit uses technical barbell movements that most other high-intensity classes do not use. We are not looking for excellence, but safe movement is our priority.

  2. Allowing someone into a regular group class that has never done some of the technical movements used in CrossFit requires the trainer to focus almost exclusively on the new member at the expense of other attendees.

  3. It has nothing to do with your conditioning. We will take a person that has Olympic lifting or CrossFit experience directly into class, even if their conditioning is poor, but we will not take an Ironman triathlete who has never moved a barbell.

Here is how we make this happen:

We have found that Personal Training is the most effective entry process for long-term success at Pacific Crest. Most people new to CrossFit require between one and three personal training session. Your instructor will work exclusively with you and make sure you are moving safely before entering class. Personal training is $90.00 per session. Call us or set up a Zoom session to discuss personal training!
