The Prep at CrossFit Austin – Starting October 6th!

What is it?
The Prep at CrossFit Austin will start on Monday, October 6th. Designed to introduce those new to CrossFit to the fundamentals and essential movements often seen in many of our group classes, The Prep will be a multifaceted course that teaches proper movement, recovery & mobility technique, nutrition & lifestyle guidelines; training that ultimately gives our clients the true {life changing} sense of the power of the CrossFit methodology. We’re not just movers and shakers at CrossFit Austin – we’re thinkers, too. Producing athletes that train smart, work hard and also know their shit is what we’re all about.

What’s in it for you?
Train Smart| We’ll teach you to lift & move proficiently
Dedicated time working on the technique of CrossFit Movements over the course of 12 classes, with technical mastery being a focus. Consistent exposure to the movements will adequately prepare each for success in the group class environment. Quality over quantity in your movement is our goal.

Work Hard | We’ll teach you to recover effectively
The body repairs and strengthens itself in the time between workouts; it’s in this time that the body adapts to the stress of exercise and the real training effect takes place. Learning what and how to fill this time outside of the gym is our goal.

Think Well | We’ll teach you to eat efficiently
The individuality and uniqueness of our clients are what makes our community a phenomenal place to thrive in their training. Nutrition can’t be a ‘cut and paste’ for each individual – there’s no cookie cutter way to properly eat. Revolutionize the way you view nutrition and eat over the course of 12 classes and learn what works best for your ID.

What you get:
1 month | 12 Sessions
Just show up; we’ll do the rest. 3x/week for 4 weeks

1 Coach | 6-8 attendees
The Prep Course will be limited to 6-8 attendees per time slot  to ensure everyone gets quality, semi-private coaching

Prep Guide | Setting you up for Success
The Prep Guide will include all the nutritional, lifestyle, and training  lessons that we cover in class. The Prep Guide will serve as a reference and a tool for you throughout your time at CrossFit Austin.

Extra  Credit | Fitness beyond the gym
The Prep Course will also  include specific training and recovery techniques to be utilized outside the walls of the gym. We’ve found that many of our athletes want to go the extra mile and this is our way to ensure they do it safely and effectively.

Hey CFA,

We know parking has been a bit of an issue as we are getting used to our new home in building C. We are working to make some improvements, but in the mean time please take a look at the image below for some dos and don’ts of parking.

Green – Go for it!
Red – No CFA Parking

We’ve requested that the recycling bin in front of our building be moved next time they come to empty it so that will free up those spaces. In front of our building is fair game for CFA.

We know that parking up toward the front of the complex is not ideal, but hey, a little jog to the gym or back to your car can count as extra credit! 

It is crucial that we don’t park in front of the businesses surrounding us, especially in front of their garage doors. It would be a shame if your car got towed for the sake of a close spot so please stay in the green!

Thank you,

The CFA Team
