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.
