CrossFit classes every day · CrossFit Max, Pierrefonds

How do I get back in shape if I'm starting from zero?

Pick one gym with good coaches, train three times a week, and learn to move well before you push hard. Keep it simple. It's the plan CrossFit Max's owners say they'd follow if they were starting over today.

Choose one gym and make it home

A coach teaches you how to move, and one place builds the habit. Hopping between free trials never does.

Make it CrossFit Max: try 7 days for $7.

Train three times a week

Hold that for your first several weeks, then add a day when you're ready.

Choose your three days on the live schedule.

I would lock in three sessions per week as a starting point.
The CrossFit Max PodcastWhat We'd Do If We Had to Start Fitness From Scratch

Move well first, then add weight

Quality comes before load. Your coach tells you when it's time.

Not sure where to begin? Talk to a coach first.

It gets easier after the first weeks

If something doesn't feel right, tell your coach: every workout can be adjusted.

Get the first weeks started: try 7 days for $7.

Make friends in class

It's easier to show up for people who expect you.

Find your class on the live schedule.

Add a few minutes of mobility after class

Most people start out stiff in the hips, shoulders and ankles. A few minutes after class makes a difference over time.

Start after your first class: try 7 days for $7.

Eat to fuel your training

It doesn't have to be perfect. Start with one better choice.

Want help with the food side? Talk to a coach first.

Coming back from an injury? See your doctor, then tell your coach

The same goes for a health condition. Your coach adjusts the training from there.

Then talk to a coach first.
