Modig (adj): lion-hearted, brave, courageous.
Each person comes to CrossFit Modig with different motivations. For some, it’s to lose weight, others to elevate their competitive edge, and for many to break the cycle of a tired “big box” gym routine. At CrossFit Modig, you not only get an amazing workout, but nutritional guidance, personalized attention and a great community vibe.
Our group classes provide everyone with the same core CrossFit training methodology, but at the appropriate intensity and load for your specific needs. We also feel that it is important to progress your CrossFit training at an appropriate pace. The following describes our overall group CrossFit class format. Each class is instructed by a certified CrossFit trainer and with specific attention to individual needs.
- Warm-Up: The warm up is intended to elevate your heart rate and to warm up your muscles. The length of time for the warm-up varies between 10 – 15 minutes and can include some of the basic functional CrossFit movements, like air squats, sit-ups, push-ups, etc. and will often be inter-mixed with lower intensity cardio exercises like running, rowing or jumping rope.
- Stretching: In order to get your body prepared for the day’s workout, we incorporate stretching exercises that focus on the areas of the body that will be worked the most.
- Skill/Strength Work: While many of the CrossFit workouts include simple movements, some take longer to master. We want to provide the opportunity to improve your form and the ability to add more load. During the Skill/Strength portion of class, we will either work on perfecting a skill or on pure strength building exercises.
- Workout of the Day (WOD) – This is the part of class where you will incorporate your warm-up, stretching and skill/strength work into a high intensity, metabolic conditioning workout. Conditioning is planned to be effective and efficient. More is not better, Better is Better. Intensity is prescribed and closely monitored during workouts
- Stretch/Recovery – This time is on you to take care of your body. Stretch. Foam roll. Use the mobility exercises to address your weaknesses in range of motion.
A typical class will vary but will generally include most of the components listed above and take anywhere from 45 min to an hour.
