Your First Step to CrossFit: The On Ramp Experience at Rare Breed

Stepping into the world of CrossFit might feel intimidating, but we’ve made sure your first experience sets you up for success. Our On Ramp is tailored for beginners or anyone returning to fitness after a break. In this course, you’ll gain confidence, learn essential movements, and become familiar with our supportive community.

What to Expect

The On Ramp course consists of five 45-minute sessions led by an experienced coach, either one-on-one or in a small group. Each session covers foundational CrossFit movements and focuses on safe and effective technique, so you can approach workouts with strength and stability. Here's a session-by-session breakdown:

Session 1: Squat
We start with proper squatting form, a core CrossFit movement that activates your lower body and improves overall stability. You’ll learn how to squat safely and effectively, setting the tone for building lower-body strength.

Session 2: Overhead Presses
In this session, we’ll teach the strict press, push press, and push jerk. These movements help develop strength and coordination when lifting overhead, which is crucial for your CrossFit progress.

Session 3: Deadlifts
Deadlifts are essential for developing total body strength and proper posture. We’ll guide you through technique and form to lift safely and confidently.

Session 4: Snatch
The snatch is a complex, powerful lift that we’ll break down step-by-step. You’ll gain the confidence to approach this dynamic movement with control and efficiency.

Session 5: Cleans
In our final session, we’ll cover cleans, a movement that teaches power and coordination. Mastering this skill rounds out your CrossFit foundation.

Beyond Movements: Personalized Attention

The On Ramp course isn’t just about learning how to lift; it’s also a personalized experience. Your coach will take note of your mobility, any previous injuries, and how you move. This allows us to create an athlete profile tailored to you, ensuring that when you join group classes, our coaching team is already familiar with your needs and ready to support your growth.

Connection and Community

Joining On Ramp also offers an opportunity to connect with your coach and fellow athletes. You’ll learn more about what makes CrossFit unique and why the Rare Breed community is so special. It’s your chance to ask questions, set goals, and see if our gym is the right fit for your fitness journey.
