What's a typical day like at CrossFit Anistemi?
You're free to pick whichever class time is most accommodating to your schedule. We ask that you please use your ZenPlanner app to reserve for a class so that we can best serve you! When you arrive, we have restrooms you may use to change, or some athletes come ready to WOD! Our classes are broken up into 4 different sections:*
Warm Ups: These typically take between 10-15 minutes and are designed to do just that - get the body warm before we work out!
* Skill: Just like WODs, our skills are constantly varied! Some days you may see weightlifting as the focus, others might be gymnastics or core work! Regardless of the skill, this portion of class takes anywhere from 15-20 minutes and is coach-led. Coaches will observe and work with the athletes to ensure that their form is safe and efficient. You just watch - coaches get just as excited when the athlete hits a PR or lands a new skill!
* WOD (Workout of the Day): Every day is a new adventure with our constantly varied programming! You may see a WOD that has rounds for time, AMRAP (As Many Rounds/Reps as Possible), or a Benchmark WOD! The movements are various combinations of wall balls, kettle bell swings, weightlifting, pull-ups, etc.! Lots of variety - lots of FUN! Every movement we do is scalable to meet your fitness level!
* Cool Down/Finisher: The last portion of our class is either a cool down or finisher. A finisher is designed to be a little extra work to finish the day: may be core work, a row or run, etc. Cool downs are programmed stretches that are designed to allow your body to recovery quicker and safer..
