COMMUNITY

Community is the most important element of this CrossFit Gym. The people make this place unique and wonderful. From the time you walk in the door to when you leave the friendly positive feelings are seen on each face. BSCF has great coaches and athletes but most important it has great people that feel like family from day one. When coming to a CrossFit gym the workouts can get tough but with such a positive staff and community you leave each day ready for the next.

MORE THAN THREE-QUARTERS OF U.S. ADULTS SAY BEING IN SHAPE AND LOOKING GOOD ARE “VERY IMPORTANT” TO THEM, YET LESS THAN A THIRD EXERCISE REGULARLY AND NEARLY HALF ADMIT THEY ARE NOT ACTIVE AT ALL.

Since 2010 BeachSide CrossFit has been solving that problem.

Whatever your fitness goals BeachSide CrossFit can help you do it faster and more easily then you are now.

But we can’t help you unless you take the first step and make the investment.

Frequently Asked QUESTIONS

WHY IS YOUR GYM MORE EXPENSIVE THAN OTHER GYMS?

We know you may have a lot of choices on where to workout. What’s best… A treadmill at home? The gym down the street that is $15/month? A CrossFit membership?

We’d actually encourage you to ask a different question. What are your goals? Personalized attention? Trained, professional coaches? Accountability? Working out with a group of like-minded people who cheer on your success? If the answer to any of the above is “yes”, then we’d encourage you to check us out.

WHAT WILL MY FIRST TIME IN YOUR GYM BE LIKE?

Your first time in, we want you to feel comfortable. One of our awesome coaches will give you a tour of the facilities, we’ll sit down with you and walk through your goals, we’ll do a quick fitness assessment with you, and we’ll walk through what you can expect.

WHAT EXACTLY IS CROSSFIT?

CrossFit is a fitness program that will change your life. By it’s definition, it uses “constantly varied, functional movement performed at a relative high intensity”. As a truly functional program, the difficulty level of our daily workouts is designed to be increased or decreased, depending upon the individual. This makes them doable by anyone.

Daily workouts could include things such as core conditioning, rowing, sprinting, gymnastics, lifting, etc. And all our workouts are designed to improve overall flexibility, strength, speed, endurance, and agility.

HOW OFTEN DO YOU RECOMMEND I COME TO THE GYM?

If you’re just starting up, we recommend coming three days/week for your first couple weeks, then build to four, then five. Once you’re up to five days per week, we recommend building in two recovery days per week.

I’M NOT IN VERY GOOD SHAPE… CAN I DO CROSSFIT?

The very first thing you will discover is that CrossFit does not discriminate. Whether you are young at heart, or have just completed your 50th marathon, or are recovering from injury or healing a broken heart, whether walking the dog is the only exercise you’ve had in years, or you’re someone training for the Iditarod…We will help you achieve your fitness goals.

One of the things that makes CrossFit so unique is our community of people from literally every walk of life: stay-at-home parents, elite athletes, students, CEOs, members of the armed services, firefighters, you name it. CrossFit bodies – our bodies – come in every imaginable size, shape and age; and yet, our workouts every day are designed for anyone to do them.

Yes, anyone.

I HEARD THAT CROSSFITTER’S USE THEIR OWN LANGUAGE, CAN YOU HELP ME WITH THE TERMS?

Sure! This is a great link that will help get you started: http://greatist.com/fitness/ultimate-guide-crossfit-lingo. Word of caution: No need to be intimidated by this…We’ll walk you through it all!

WHAT’S YOUR DROP-IN POLICY?

We love nothing more than having visitors from other boxes come “throw down” with us! If you are just passing through, we offer a charge per day or we offer a week-long punch card link.

It’d be great if you’d plan on arriving 15 minutes before scheduled class time so we can provide you with a waiver to sign and introduce you to our box. You can find our class schedule [here].

You may find that we do things a little differently than your “box back home.” We hope that you enjoy the change in scenery, clientele, maybe even music. If anything makes you uncomfortable, however, please don’t hesitate to let us know.
