Whats this program all about?

This is our largest and most popular program that the majority of Synergy athletes train with.  As the original CrossFit program in the city it is designed to handle absolute beginners to intermediate CrossFit athletes.  It is highly scalable and modifiable to allow nearly all participants to take part.  This program will test and push you just like all of Synergy Strength CrossFit programs, but it boasts the highest level of modification to allow all levels of fitness, skill, and ability to participate.  This program focuses on proper movement patterns, exercise technique, strength development and anaerobic/aerobic conditioning – it is truly a program for anybody and any body.

Coaches class times are every hour on the hour from 6:00am-8:00pm on all weekdays and 9:00am-12:00pm on weekends.


MON April 28/14

WOD Guidance

a. Use as heavy a tire as you can for a good quick 5 flips (should not be failing) as these need to be unbroken fast reps.  Push press is on a Barbell and needs to be loaded on the rack – load to a 10RM (I do not expect everyone to knwo what their 10RM is, but understand you should be able to do 2 more reps than 8 with the load), Row needs to be max effort kick butt rowing.
