FAQ

CrossFit Beaumont strives to be the premier strength and conditioning facility in Southeast Texas. CrossFit is our principle training program because we have found it to be the most effective program for achieving elite fitness.

The goal of CrossFit is to increase your work capacity. By pursuing this one goal we achieve the desirable side effects of fat loss, lean muscle gain, increased physical performance, and a greater sense of well-being. CrossFit utilizes many different training regimens including, but not limited to, Gymnastics, Olympic Lifting, Running & Sprinting, Kettlebells, climbing, throwing, flipping tires, swinging sledgehammers, jumping, Powerlifting, pulling and pushing objects, and the list goes on. We train athletes to improve all 10 physical skills: strength, power, stamina, speed, cardiorespiratory endurance, accuracy, agility, balance, coordination, and flexibility.

What is CrossFit?

CrossFit is constantly varied, functional movements, executed at a high intensity.  We solve many of the problems found in traditional workouts.

1. Time - Average gym-goers spend 30 minutes on the elliptical followed by another hour in the gym. A typical CrossFit workout is 10-20 minutes. However when we add in warm-up, movement instruction, cool down, and stretching our classes last an hour. You will find this one hour investment will easily pay for itself through increased energy and  elevated mood throughout the day.
2. Motivation - Every class is led by a trainer who will provide instruction as well as the motivation for you to perform to the best of your ability. Working out in a group is also an excellent way to ensure you're giving your maximum effort.
3. Boredom - Most gym-goers have a 2 or 3 day routine that they perform over and over for months or years at a time. At CrossFit you will have a new workout everyday.  This keeps your body from adapting to repeated movements, keeps you from getting bored, makes our workouts fun and challenging, and helps you achieve your maximal fitness level.

CrossFit is an empirically driven, clinically tested, community developed strength and conditioning system that is built on constantly varied, if not randomized, functional movements executed at a high intensity. Our goal is to increase work capacity over broad time and modal domains. Put it through your own test. Make yourself the lab rat and see if everything that you've heard is true.

Why Should I train at CFB?

Results. What we do works. Simply show up 3-5 times a week, listen to the coaches, work hard, and you will achieve your goals.

Coaching. We teach complex movements, ensure athetes move safely and correctly, provide motivation, and get our athletes to the next level.

Programming. We design each workout to elicit a certain physical and neurological response in order to make you stronger, faster, and mentally tough.

I've never been an athlete and I'm in terrible shape. Can I do CrossFit?

YES. We have trained deconditioned individuals, former athletes, new moms, busy professionals, elite athletes, and everyone in between. The fitness needs of an olympic athlete and a soccer mom differ by degree, not by kind. We can scale every workout to your level of fitness by decreasing weight, reps, rounds, or substituting movements. None of our workouts will be easy;  but we also provide the motivation to get you through the workout.
