Welcome to CrossFit Aspire.

As of June 1st, 2010, we are officially open for business!

Much like opening a new business, starting a new workout program can be overwhelming, exciting, and downright scary. We were there once, we know. CrossFit doesn’t come with a “How To” manual, or a handy step-by-step guide that walks you through the program before you even start.

Instead, the best way to learn about CrossFit is to do CrossFit. A few classes will answer all of your questions ( ie: What is it? Will I like it? What if I can’t lift heavy weights yet? What type of people do CrossFit?) and will determine if CrossFit is what you’ve been looking for.

While it’s very difficult to accurately describe CrossFit to someone who’s never tried it (hint: It’s almost as hard as describing the way a certain food tastes. It’s easier just to try it yourself! ), here are a few quick facts about our gym that might help  familiarize yourself with how it all works.

THE WORKOUTS ARE NOT EASY: If they were, then we wouldn’t have a very successful business. You can do an easy workout at home.  Instead, you come to us to experience a level of intensity that you can’t push yourself to on your own. We structure classes to maximize the time spent improving your strength and conditioning, and your body is often pushed to a place it’s not used to being. Enjoy it. The pride and sense of accomplishment that accompanies every workout is indescribable.

ANYONE CAN DO IT: CrossFit has proven success with adults, kids, seniors, college and professional level athletes, elite athletic competitors, endurance athletes, strong men and women, and de-conditioned teens and adults. The workout is created with the high-level athlete in mind, and is modified to fit the abilities of the individual. In a given class, a 250lb college athlete may be doing the same workout as a 60 yr old, 130lb woman – the difference between the two is in the level of skill, weight and conditioning movements.

WE’LL MAKE YOU SMARTER: We not only teach the movements, but we explain why we train this way and how our bodies are responding to it.  If you show up with nothing more than open ears and eyes, you’ll leave having learned something new about the human body, and how you can improve it. We also provide nutrition counseling, fitness and nutrition articles, and recipes along the way, at no extra cost to our members. We’re in the business of creating healthier people, inside and outside of the gym.

YOU’LL HAVE FUN: Most people don’t usually say the words “working out” and “fun” in the same sentence. Unless they go to a CrossFit gym. The workouts are different every day, and they give you a chance to test your abilities, improve your weaknesses, and meet some amazing people while doing it. All classes are held in small groups, allowing for interaction and positive reinforcement among members. Some say that you haven’t really experienced CrossFit until you’ve had someone  yelling “Go! Go! You can do it!” in your face while you worked out.

If you’ve gotten all the way down to this part of the post, congratulations! We’ve held your interest long enough to let you know the best part of all – Your first class is FREE. No obligation. Call or email us today to set up your free class on Saturday at 9am. Try it out, tell us what you think, and if you like it, then sign up for more classes. Signing up is easy. It’s the workouts that are hard.
