Comfortable clothes.
Shorts or leggings, a t-shirt. Anything you can move and sweat in. No special outfit required on day one.
Never done CrossFit? Perfect.
Every workout at Blaze has a version for the 65-year-old retiree and the former college athlete. Same stimulus, different load. You do not need to "get in shape" to begin. You begin — and the shape follows.
The coach adjusts weight, reps, and movements for everyone in the room. A ten-minute workout with dumbbells and modified pushups is the same class as the one with barbells and pullups. Nobody is "too out of shape" for day one.
Injuries come from bad technique and unchecked ego. At Blaze, every rep gets a coach's eye — and the coach has been watching the same movements since 2009. We'd rather you lift ten pounds perfectly than fifty poorly.
Most of our members will introduce themselves before the warmup ends. This isn't a place where people watch — it's a place where people cheer. You'll finish class with a handful of new names to remember.
The coach will show you around, point out the bathroom and water fountain, and answer any questions. This is not the moment anybody tests you.
Light jogging, mobility, some air squats. Your body gets ready; your nerves settle. This is the easiest part — and it sets you up for everything that follows.
We'll teach you one movement at a time — usually with just a PVC pipe or an empty bar. You'll learn the squat. You'll learn the deadlift. These are the same movements everyone else is doing. You're not lagging.
Ten to twenty minutes of conditioning, scaled to you. Same clock as the advanced athletes, different movements. Going hard is optional. Finishing the clock is the goal.
Everyone writes their score on the whiteboard, not to compete, but to chart their own progress. You'll get high-fives. Some hugs. A few "see you tomorrow?"s. You'll leave with a decision to make.
Shorts or leggings, a t-shirt. Anything you can move and sweat in. No special outfit required on day one.
Whatever sneakers you have. Running shoes are perfectly fine. Lifting shoes and CrossFit shoes come later, if ever.
Bring a bottle. We have a fountain to refill it. Florida-summer hydration matters, even for a one-hour class.
You do not need to know anything about CrossFit, strength training, or gyms. You just need to be willing to learn.
If you're over 50, post-surgery, or have a chronic condition, a quick conversation with your doctor helps us plan your training safely.
Barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells, chalk, rings, ropes, ski ergs — we provide every piece of equipment you'll use.
Two or three times a week for the first month. That gives your body time to adapt and your brain time to learn the movements without being overwhelmed.
Yes — some of our most consistent members are in their 60s and 70s. If you'd prefer a quieter start, our personal training program specializes in active adults and special populations.
Honestly — probably sore. That's normal for the first two weeks of any new training. It fades fast. Drink water, sleep well, and come back on your scheduled day. The second week is easier than the first.
No. Every "advanced" movement has a beginner version. Pullups become ring rows. Heavy deadlifts become light deadlifts. You move what you can safely move, and we progress from there.
Nobody does on day one. By day three, you will. This is the quietest superpower of CrossFit — show up three times and you've already made friends.
No excuses left
Three free classes. Zero commitment. Bring sneakers and water; we handle the rest.
