FUNCTIONAL AND VARIED TRAINING
CrossFit is a training method that combines weightlifting, gymnastics and conditioning, among other things. The training is built on functional movements, the movements you use in daily life, performed at high intensity with constant variation. The goal is to develop all physical qualities: strength, endurance, power, mobility, balance and coordination.
SMALL GROUPS AND COACHING
All CrossFit classes with us are led by a coach and have a maximum of 10 participants. That means you always get support, guidance and technical feedback. It's almost like training with a personal trainer, just in a group. The coach's role is to help you develop safely and effectively, whether you're a beginner or experienced.
CLASSES AND OPEN GYM
CrossFit is built on coach-led group classes. Everyone trains together, but at their own level. The classes are pre-programmed and often include both technique/strength and a conditioning finisher, which makes the training both structured and varied.
As you get more experienced you might want to follow your own programming or train extra on specific movements. Then you can use our Open Gym, where you get free access to the equipment and can train on your own. At Tegen we're open 24/7!
PERFORMANCE OVER APPEARANCE
In CrossFit the focus is on what the body can do, not just how it looks. We train to get stronger, more enduring and more functional in daily life. The training strengthens both body and mind, and suits everyone regardless of age or background. The best part? The well-trained body usually comes along for the ride.
TRAINING FOR EVERYONE
CrossFit fits all levels. Exercises and sessions can be scaled so that both beginners and advanced athletes can train together. What matters isn't where you start, but that you get going and develop at your own pace.
