Hey friends,
If you’re newer to CrossFit, barbell movements might be the most unfamiliar, intimidating thing in the gym. There’s a lot going on: where your feet go, how to grip it, what your back should be doing, where the bar is supposed to start and finish, and how much weight is the right amount. In a regular class, our coaches teach everyone the fundamentals of safe, effective movement. But with a full room and a clock running, sometimes it might feel like there’s not enough time to slow down and really get into the details.
Barbell Basics is that time. If you think you would benefit from a laser-focused hour of barbell instruction in a small group setting, then this is for you.
Barbell Basics is a 60-minute session on the fundamentals of safe, efficient barbell movement. It’s about building positions and habits that will serve you for years, not just this month. No workout, no leaderboard, no clock. Just focused coaching on the stuff that makes every barbell day in class feel better.
These sessions are built for CFC members with less than 6 months of CrossFit experience, although all are welcome. If you’ve ever stood in class unsure whether your setup looked right, or quietly picked a lighter weight because you weren’t sure of your form, this is for you. Everyone in the room will be at a similar stage, so nobody is the “new person.”
We limit each session to six athletes so every person gets real, hands-on coaching. Nobody gets lost in the back of the room. You’ll leave knowing what good positions feel like, not just what they’re supposed to look like.
