FAQ
Q: Do I need experience or some minimum level of fitness?
A: No. Our workouts and exercises scale to any level. We've had everyone from grandmothers to obese people, and they've all been fine. You will too.
Q. How do I start?
A: Come to an open house for a free beginner's class. Get a taste of CrossFit workouts and see if REF might be a good fit for you.
Q: The free WOD was great, how do I join as a member?
A: First you must complete our 6 session Foundations Workshop.
Q. How much is Foundations?
A: $170.
Q. What does the Foundations cover?
A: Bodyweight exercises, Slow lifts: Squat, Deadlift and Press, Metabolic Conditioning (a.k.a. "MetCon"): "Cindy","Fran", Olympic Lifting: Clean, Jerk, Snatch, kettlebells, medicine balls and more.
Q: Why does Foundations cost so much?
A: We limit the class size, and each class is taught by a CrossFit certified coach. That means you get a lot of individual attention. A similar workshop covering similar material would cost you $300-$500 for one day and you would not get nearly the same attention.
We spread it out over the course of 6 sessions so you can assimilate it better.
Q: I'm really fit and would like to skip the Foundation's Workshop, and come to the Workout of the Day (WOD) class, can I do that?
A: No. You must complete our Foundations Workshop, unless you:
Have a CrossFit Level I Certification

Q: Can I just come to REF and work out on my own?
