What’s Needed Before Class One?
Nervous about your first CrossFit class? Learn what to bring, how to prepare, and the right mindset so you can walk in confident and ready for success.
Starting CrossFit is exciting, but walking into your first class prepared can make all the difference. Before stepping through the doors, new athletes should take time to understand the basics—show up a few minutes early, wear athletic shoes with a solid sole and comfortable clothes, also bring water. It’s also a great idea to review any welcome email or information your gym provides so you know what to expect. CrossFit may look intimidating at first, but remember that every movement can be scaled to your current ability. You don’t need to be in peak shape to begin—just a willingness to learn and try.
Equally important is mindset. Go in ready to listen, ask questions, and learn proper technique before worrying about speed or heavy weights. Communicate with your coach about any past injuries or limitations so they can tailor the workout to your needs. Most of all, keep an open mind and embrace the process. The first class is about finding your rhythm, not competing with anyone else. If you show up prepared, stay coachable, and trust the process, you’ll set yourself up for success on your CrossFit journey.
