Common Questions
Can I try CrossFit if I’m new to exercise?
Yes. Tell a coach about your experience and goals before class. They can explain the workout and suggest movement or load adjustments so you can participate at a suitable level.
What should I bring to a class?
Wear comfortable workout clothes and training shoes, and bring water. If you have questions about equipment or anything else to prepare, contact River City Strength before your first visit.
Do I need to know how to lift weights?
No prior weightlifting experience is necessarily required. Coaches can provide instruction and help you work on technique. Share your experience level so they can guide you toward appropriate options.
Can workouts be adjusted for my ability?
Workouts can often be scaled by changing the movement, load, or pace. Let your coach know about injuries, limitations, or concerns before training so you can discuss suitable adjustments.
