Getting Started

CrossFit Fort Wayne Is For Everyone

We implement various tools to help our clients reach their fitness goals, from nutrition to expert coaching on complex movements. Our program is comprised of Olympic weightlifting, power lifting, metabolic conditioning and basic gymnastics movements—we don’t do machines, and we don’t do gimmicks.

Try it, Free

We focus our attention on being extraordinarily effective at coaching our clients to move efficiently to realize their athletic potential and achieve their fitness goals as quickly as possible. To ensure that all of our clients are provided with every opportunity to succeed, we encourage everyone to get started at CFFW with a FREE intro session. These are by appointment only. Click HERE to schedule an appointment. 

During this complimentary one-on-one training session you'll get a chance to learn a lot more about our program and experience a CrossFit workout for yourself. It's purpose is to help us serve you better by getting to know your goals and expectations, fitness level, medical history, and experience. After your intro, you can choose to continue in one of two ways: One-on-One Coaching, or through On-Ramp Classes (small-group coaching).

One-on-One Coaching

One-on-One coaching is the most effective way to achieve your individual fitness goals and gain mastery of our foundational movements. Over the course of these coaching sessions you will learn —at your pace—how to safely and efficiently perform our program’s most common movements. Your coach will tailor the pace of instruction and the rigor of your sessions specifically to your fitness capacity, goals and preferences.

One-on-one coaching is the quickest way to achieve your fitness goals, and is available to anyone interested in continuing to receive individual coaching beyond the introductory session. One-on-one coaching is strongly recommended if you have been sedentary for a long period of time, are training for a specific sport or event, have significant health limitations or just prefer the additional attention and accountability.

On-Ramp (Small-Group Coaching)

CFFW On-Ramp Classes are designed to expose the newest members of our community to our foundational movements in a small group setting.  Movement techniques will be drilled as well as a progressive introduction to the intensity levels that are inherent in our group classes. On-Ramp is ideal for individuals who are active, injury-free and looking for the most cost-effective way to get started with group coaching.To find out when our next On-Ramp session is, click here.

Group Class Description

Elements Group Classes

It is our experience that new clients entering our program- regardless of fitness level, require a great deal of attention and coaching to become comfortable with the CrossFit movements & philosophies.  This is why we've established Elements Classes in order to give our clients our full attention and help them continue to develop a solid foundation of strength and endurance, ultimately working towards mastering the skills to gain entry into our Level 1 group class.

Think of CrossFit like any other sport.  You wouldn’t expect to attend a black belt jiu-jitsu class with no prior training in that sport would you? Just the same, if you can’t dead lift safely, clean and jerk safely and with efficacy, don’t know the difference between a push jerk and a split jerk or are not a master of gymnastic basics, you are not ready to jump into an level 1 group classes.

Each class begins a warm-up, skill session, and then a W.O.D. (workout of the day) to hammer home the skills that you have learned that day. A little worried about your fitness level? Don’t be. One of the beautiful things about our program is its infinite scalability regardless of your fitness level. If scaling is not an issue for you, then you will be challenged with these workouts as they are prescribed with the fittest of athletes in mind.

Level 1 Group Classes
This is where your training enters the realm of sport and the competition begins. Classes are intense, challenging, and move quickly. They are not for the faint of heart!  These classes require testing/prerequisites to gain admission.

Membership Fees

We have several membership options available which you can choose from that give you access to our group fitness program and classes. During your intro session we will be happy to help you choose an appropriate membership plan for you or your family.
