How do I start CrossFit as a complete beginner in Vancouver?

Book a first class (at CrossFit BC your first 3 are free), wear comfortable clothes and flat shoes, and arrive about 10 minutes early so a coach can learn your goals and any injuries. The coach teaches the movements and scales the workout to your level, so no prior experience is needed.

What should I wear and bring to my first CrossFit class?

Comfortable athletic clothes you can sweat in, flat stable shoes (running shoes are fine to start), and a water bottle. You do not need a belt, special shoes, or supplements to begin.

Do I need to be fit before starting CrossFit?

No. Every workout is scaled to your current fitness by a coach, so the class meets you where you are today. Getting fit is the result of showing up consistently, not a requirement to begin.

What happens in a beginner CrossFit class?

A typical class is about 60 minutes: a coached group warm-up, a skill or strength segment where the coach teaches the day's movements with scaled options, the main workout done alongside other members with coaching on your reps, and a short cool-down.

How many times a week should a beginner do CrossFit?

Two to three classes in your first week or two is a comfortable start. Three classes a week, about three hours total, is the sweet spot for steady results without overdoing it early on.
