FOR BEGINNERS
CrossFit: Foundations
Never trained before? No problem!
Start your fitness journey with our coach-led programme built for beginners and anyone returning to training after time off.
What is
CrossFit: Foundations?
CrossFit Foundations is your on-ramp into BALDR — a coach-led group class built specifically for beginners and anyone returning to training after time off.
Running twice a week, each 60-minute session breaks down the fundamental movements behind CrossFit — squatting, hinging, pushing, pulling, and core control — so you build proper mechanics before adding intensity or load.
Every class is coached at a beginner-friendly pace in a small, judgment-free group. When you're ready, moving into our full class schedule feels like a natural next step, not a leap.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
Core Movement Patterns
Learn the fundamental movements used in CrossFit: squatting, hinging, pushing, pulling, and core stability. We'll break down each movement and ensure you understand proper form.
How to Modify Workouts
Understand how to modify exercises to match your current fitness level. You'll learn that CrossFit is infinitely scalable – everyone can do it.
Gym Culture & Class Structure
Get comfortable with how our classes run, the equipment, the warmups, the community — so joining a full class feels completely natural.
