Inside A FULL CrossFit Class (CrossFit 101)

I hope those of you that are curious about crossfit find this video useful!

I started crossfit after being convinced by my personal trainer that everything could be modified. I was 330 lbs with bad knees and had just been lifting weights at that point. Last time I ran was in 2014 for a fire extinguisher. Crossfit changed my life and I'm super grateful. If you're on the fence go do it.

I started doing CrossFit about six weeks ago. While I am comparatively weak, I found that it matters not. Sure enough there are folks younger, fitter and stronger than I am, but they don't look at me with contempt. High fives are being given, as well as pointers to improve and encouragement. And the coaches are mindful that I do a set within the range of my present abilities, pushing back the boundaries little by little. I have already dropped 12 pounds and feel much better. Never have I been treated as the newbie or given the feeling that I don't really belong there. A very inspiring and encouraging environment that helps me to give it my all.

Great idea for a video, so many people are afraid to give it a try. Cross fit is designed to meet you where you are and grow you from there!

I did it - I tried crossfit for the first time a week ago and so far, it's been great! Tough, but great!

After about 2 months of weight loss strictly through changing my diet, I became a founding member at a new CrossFit gym opening up in my city. They're finishing up construction so it doesn't open until this summer but I can't wait.

Great video! I’ve been going to crossfit for four weeks now and while I have to scale a lot of things, I absolutely love it! I live in a small town in rural Australia that only has one box and it is the best community. My first day was just as John explained this one!

I was nervous and intimidated before I bit the bullet but finally went in there and the fears went away as soon as I walk in the doors! Everyone is so welcoming and humble and kind! They really want everyone to succeed no matter what level you are at! I still have a lot of work to do but I have an amazing crew behind me helping me every step of the way!

Was nervous about trying CrossFit because it seemed intimidating but now I’m in my 5th week of CrossFit thank to your team and you, loving it! 💪🏽😃

Been doing CrossFit for like 7 months but i still enjoyed this video a lot 🔥😂

This video is fantastic. I had no idea what the whole concept was let alone what a typical session may look like. Thanks!

Long story short, I’ve lost 75lbs in the last year with keto and cardio. Now I’ve come to a plateau the last few months but in this time I’ve learned how to maintain my weight loss. I also enjoy that my body likes to be at a consistent weight of about 155. I am also going to enjoy the holidays lol. So come January I decided that I wanna do CrossFit as my next chapter in my weightless journey. So now comes my research and I come across your channel!! (I started following you about a week ago on Instagram and didn’t know you had a channel here.) and so far this video made not as nervous to try it. But what makes this all too funny is I was already doing some of the works outs. Which makes me feel at easy when finding my gym so thank you for breaking it down the way you do! I’m going to do it and now I can’t wait!!

Got a crossfit gym thats like 5 minutes away from me. I was always interested in it so I think I'm going to give it a try👌

[quinnmarshall]

Great video - I liked that you focused more on the overall structure of the workout rather than the individual exercises. That's a lot more informative for a newcomer who has no idea what to expect.

If you’re thinking about starting CrossFit.... Go ! Now ! !! Go!

I love this direction for this channel. This is a fantastic video and very timely to coincide with CrossFit HQ's recent push for making the lifestyle of CrossFit more relatable. Nice done, sir.

Great that they tailor it to various levels of fitness, which really helps prevent injuries and keeps motivation strong. Looks like a lot of fun (a lot of temporary discomfort too, but well worth the results).

I just joined a Crossfit and I’m almost done with foundation classes. Handstand is probably the hardest part for me. But it will get better.

Thank you so much! I took my first Crossfit class today and as I didn't know what to expect, decided to check on Youtube. This video was helpful to have an idea of what the class is like! Thank you!

[Omequa]

Crossfit should totally pay you for this! Love this video. Well done!

[agrant]

That was really helpful in easing my nervousness. Thank you 🙂
