It’s the question almost everyone asks before their first class: “Should I get in shape first?” The answer at Bird Dog CrossFit in Castle Rock is simple — no. You don’t get in shape to start CrossFit. You start CrossFit to get in shape.
CrossFit is designed to meet you where you are
Every workout can be adjusted to your current fitness level, experience, and abilities. Whether it’s your first day in a gym or your thousandth, the workout of the day scales to you. That’s not a beginner version of CrossFit — it is CrossFit, applied to where your body is today.
That’s what coaches are for
Not sure what a snatch is? Never touched a barbell? That’s what our coaches are for. We’ll teach you the movements, help you choose appropriate weights and modifications, and make sure you feel comfortable and confident. Most of our members started as complete beginners — you’ll be in good company.
It’s safe for your age, your injuries, your history
Our members represent a wide range of ages, backgrounds, and abilities. Our coaches can modify movements, weights, and intensity based on what your body can safely do. If you have an injury or medical restriction, we’ll work within the guidance of your healthcare provider.
What results look like: 36 sessions
Give us 36 sessions — three workouts per week for three months.
Month 1: Your body is adapting. You’ll probably be sore, and CrossFit may feel like a shock to the system.
Month 2: You’ll start feeling more confident. Movements make more sense, workouts feel less intimidating, and you realize you’re capable of more than you thought.
Month 3: This is where it starts to click. You’ll notice meaningful changes in your strength, fitness, body, and mindset.
