There are many different ways to utilize a Personal Trainer. We have always recommended people get involved with the classes straight away because you get the personal attention to details from the coach plus the motivation to work hard with the rest of the class. That should be your preferred option if you are looking to get fit and having a good time.
We break it into two simple groups. Short term PT and Long term PT
Short term PT
Very often we get a member who is improving so much that they start to want to learn more complex skills but need some specific work to get there. This is a great time to seek out a coach to help you get some personal help with that specific skill. It doesn’t have to be a longterm commitment. A few sessions should be enough to give you some great skill transfer work done and get you through that skill and on to the next one. This goes for any movement in CrossFit. The coach will then give you a plan for you to follow so you keep the skill. This is also where our Open Gym Sessions come in very handy.
Long term PT
If you have a longterm goal I.E. Run or Bike Race or other competition that you need specific help with it is important to seek out a coach to help you program and also monitor the volume of your specific training combined with your CrossFit classes. This is to make sure you don’t overtrain. – We often get people who complain about overuse injuries and when we ask the right questions we find out they have been doing way to much training outside of normal classes and it is starting to break them down. Reality is most people don’t know how to train themselves longterm. It is easy to force yourself to do extra training if you have a serious goal but 9 times out of 10 you just end up going until you break and then wonder what happened. Let our coaches help you stay on track and be able to train longterm. Two things are certain in life you don’t need to train at 100% intensity all the time to see significant improvements and if you break down you can’t train at all.
Contact us today with your specific goal and we will help you come up with a plan and keep you training right up until “game day”
