What to Expect at CrossFit Influence

If you've never taken a CrossFit class—or if your past experience left you feeling uncertain—the thought of jumping into a new gym can be intimidating. A room full of people you don’t know, movements that might feel unfamiliar, and that little voice in your head wondering, What did I just sign up for?

But here’s the thing—that’s where the magic of CrossFit Influence happens.

Our expert coaches are here to guide you every step of the way, ensuring you feel supported, capable, and confident. Here’s what you can expect when you walk through our doors:

Every Class Starts at the Whiteboard

Before we lift a single weight or break a sweat, we gather at the whiteboard. This is where the coach explains:
✔️ The workout of the day (WOD)
✔️ The movements involved
✔️ The intended stimulus—what we’re aiming to achieve

No matter your experience level, we break things down so everyone understands the plan.

A Warm-Up with Purpose

Once the workout is explained, the coach leads the class through a warm-up designed to:
🔥 Increase core temperature
🔥 Improve mobility for the movements ahead
🔥 Prime your body for safe and efficient performance

Skill Progressions & Workout Scaling

Next, we focus on movement progressions—an opportunity to refine technique, build strength, and improve skills.

This is also when the coach ensures that every member has a plan to modify or scale the workout appropriately. The goal? To make sure each person gets the best workout for their current level while still hitting the intended stimulus.

Time to Work!

Before we start, we make any final adjustments, grab a sip of water, and take a quick bathroom break. Then it’s go time.

💪 Coaches stay engaged throughout the workout—watching, evaluating, and making corrections when needed. Safety and efficiency are our top priorities, and we’re always there to support you.

Finishing Strong

Once the workout is complete, we celebrate the effort—whether that’s a high-five, a fist bump, or just catching your breath with your classmates. Then, we:
Record our results (time, reps, weight, etc.)
Put away our equipment
Cool down with stretching or foam rolling to help the body recover

A Gym That’s More Than Just a Gym

At CrossFit Influence, we offer the structure and accountability of personal training with the energy and camaraderie of a group class.

We take the guesswork out of your workouts, so all you have to do is show up. From there, we’ve got your back—every lift, every workout, every step of the way.
