Frequently Asked Questions

What is CrossFit Providence?

CrossFit is a training method that combines 'cardio' with weightlifting and gymnastics.  It is highly effective in improving overall health and fitness, very quickly.  CrossFit Providence runs group classes and personal training.  Our members are at all fitness levels, but notably CrossFit is used by tri-athletes, the Navy Seals, MMA fighters - all practitioners whose performance (and for some, their lives) depend on their fitness.  Our idea of fitness is to be able to do whatever we want to do, at anytime. For a more complete description, click here.

This looks pretty intense. Do I need some minimum level of fitness or experience?

 No! Our workouts and movements are built for universal scalability; From grandmothers to elite athletes. You will be fine. Promise.  Our trainers and their parents do the same workouts, only the weights and intensity are varied.

Great! well how do I try it out?

We have free intro sessions each week.  Feel free to attend two!  Go here to sign up.

The intro session was great! What do I need to do to become a member?

Glad you enjoyed it. In order to train with the groups, you first have to complete our two one-hour long foundations sessions.  Cost is $100. Go here to sign up.  If the times scheduled don't work for you email mike@crossfitprovidence.com and we'll work something out.

How many times a week should I train?

The ideal schedule is 3 days on 1 day off, but you will still get huge benefits by at least getting in here 2-3 times per week. You will accomplish here in 3 days what you couldn't accomplish in a week at a "globogym".
