CrossFit Prelude is a School of Elite Fitness.  We have hand selected a team of medical professionals, individuals who hold degrees in exercise science and other associated disciplines, and former collegiate athletes.  We have learned over the years, that the best method to reduce the risk of injury while doing CrossFit, or any fitness program, is to only increase the intensity of your CrossFit workout after you have consistently demonstrated proper mechanically correct form.  Our goal is not to progress you rapidly for the sake of putting you through a grueling workout.  This is a recipe for disaster, and will likely lead to injury.  Instead, our training is designed to ensure you succeed at all levels, and do so under the careful eye of our experienced coaches.  Just as you would not expect to skip from kindergarten to 12th grade, you will not progress faster than the skill level you have demonstrated to the coaches, or at a level outside of your comfort zone.   Your overall safety is paramount to all other considerations, and at CrossFit Prelude our goal is to keep you injury free, and fit for life.

In further support of our vested interest in your fitness learning process, and because of our dedication to small group instruction, you will be assigned a coach to supplement the on the floor instruction you receive during your CrossFit classes.  From the day you become a member of CrossFit Prelude, you are assigned a coach whose duty it is to monitor your progress, assist you with your overall development, and serve as an accountability buddy for your goals.  You will progress at a pace that you and your coach feel is conducive to your overall development, while taking into account your ability to perform movements in a safe and efficient manner.  This process is not replicated anywhere in Richmond!!!
