Your Questions Answered

What’s a CrossFit Auckland Women workout like?

No workout session is repeated during a four-week cycle. We keep your interest and your curiosity levels high in anticipation of the workouts.  Approximately 30min will be dedicated to skills training and development; over the course of a 8 weeks this will progress you through the fundamental exercises found in CrossFit prescription.  The coach will then brief the workout of the day (WOD), and ensure everyone is set up with exercise progressions that suit their current capabilities.  When you arrive you should warm up and stretch until the coach begins the session. The skills training component will thoroughly prepare your body for the workout to follow. We also allow time for a cool-down session after each workout. You will enjoy the combination of personal attention and social interaction that CrossFit Auckland Women allows.

What if I can’t perform a certain exercise?

We will instruct you how to perform a modified version of the exercise as an alternative. This will develop the required strength and skill progressing you toward the prescribed exercise.

Can I bring a buddy?

Yes, if you have a friend who is considering CrossFit Auckland membership, we offer a free teaser workout on Saturdays at 8am. Your buddy will need to sign a waiver upon arriving. Be sure they come prepared with the necessary items.  If you like, you can also book in with them for free.

What do I need to bring?

You’ll need water, a towel, and running or cross training shoes, if you have flat training shoes we will use these regularly, wear comfortable training clothes.

What if I miss a workout?

As a package programme, we encourage you to attend all three CrossFit Auckland Women training sessions as consistently as possible. But on occasion if you know in advance you are going to miss a session due to un-changable circumstances, book in for a WOD on the regular timetable as a substitute.  All you need to do is early cancel (24hrs+) your session online and rebook into the workout of your choice in the same week. Unused weekly sessions are not held in credit or refunded.

Who can/should attend?

CrossFit Auckland Women is designed for all fitness levels, sizes and ages (16+). You don’t have to be fit to start; you join to get fit.  Our youngest participant to date has been 18, and our eldest 60.

This programme is not suitable for those with a condition or injury that would put themselves or others at risk of harm during the course of a training session. If in doubt consult your GP or specialist for a full medical screening prior to commencing any exercise routine.

How do you measure results?

Our assessments are based upon a series of Bench Mark Workouts that are repeated over the course of the 8 week programme giving you a baseline to measure against.  It is highly motivating to see weekly evidence of your ongoing progress and development.

We also encourage members to keep a training logbook to track your daily workouts.  You will definitely feel and see the results, but looking back to where you started and seeing how far you’ve progressed is very rewarding.  We’re big on recording data – it never lies!

BONUS: When you complete 8 weeks of CrossFit Auckland Women, we’ll reward you with Free pre and post skin fold and girth measurements to provide you with feedback about your fat loss and body composition changes at 8 sites. (We do not encourage weight on scales as a measure of these results).

What about Nutrition?

Great nutrition is paramount to achieving wellness, and having ample energy to attack your workouts and life in general.  Nutrition is a primary tool for achieving and maintaining your ideal and healthy weight.

There is so much conflicting dietary information available to us these days, and finding the right choices and balance can sometimes feel daunting.  You can find some ‘gold’ amongst the simple information and tips on our CrossFit Auckland Nutrition page; as well as contact details for our consulting Nutritionist – Julianne Taylor.  Julianne can work with you one-on-one to tailor nutrition to both you and your families needs and preferences.  Julianne is a registered nurse, with a post graduate nutrition science qualification, and specializes in the Zone Diet (highly endorsed by us and CrossFit in general) as well as Paelo nutrition.
