Our Core Classes

METCON:

Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays - 6:00am, 6:45am and 12:15pm

Our MetCon programming now runs continuously year-round, with a de-load week every 4th week featuring only bodyweight exercises. This approach helps ensure sustainable training and recovery.

The goal is to enhance overall fitness and endurance through high-intensity, varied workouts.


STRENGTH:

45 minutes

Tuesdays, Thursdays - 6:00am, 6:45am and 12:15pm

CROSSFIT:

60 minutes

Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays - 4:30pm and 5:30pm and Fridays - 4:30pm (only)

We’re introducing an exciting new approach to our CrossFit programming. Instead of having set days for lifting or strength, we’re mixing things up with something different every day. You can still see the entire week's programming as usual, allowing you to plan effectively. Each day features unique workouts, culminating in our new 1.5-hour CrossFit Compete classes on Saturdays.

The goal is to provide diverse, comprehensive training that keeps you engaged and challenged.

Occasionally, the class incorporates additional exercises to add variety and challenge.
