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.

*This week is a continued de-load week into the Bridge City Beat Down (BCBD).  If competing be sure to test all events by no later than Wednesday (preferably Tuesday) and then de-load into the weekend.  De-load means not workouts, only light skills and movement work if necessary to stay focused and loose.  Turn to doing a lot of mobility (attend classes a few times if necessary).  If you have questions please come talk to me – Chad. 

** of course everyone will notice a massive change to the workout area of the gym as we re-arranged many things this past weekend.  All SPORT members will not be in group classes (there will be some large ones) throughout the day and we will be incorporating a new CROSSFIT structure after the BCBD.
