Safety
Member Safety is #1.
Will I Get Hurt?
Safety is our number one priority at CrossFit Enclave. Before you can attend group classes as a new member, we make sure you work with a coach to properly learn every movement. These movements (such as squats, snatches and pull-ups) take time to learn and properly perform.
We want to ensure your safety and reduce the risk of injury by closely monitoring your form and performance throughout the sessions.
Learning the technical olympic lifts does not happen overnight, and proper form is crucial before working with significant weight. Before anyone adds weight to a bar they must work on the form and technique using a PVC pipe.
What is “scaling”?
The beauty of CrossFit is the fact that every workout can be scaled. In fact, the vast majority of our members scale every workout, adjusting the movement, weight or quantity of reps in order to challenge themselves at the right level.
For example, while one member may be knocking out pull-ups, another is using a band to assist, and another may be doing "ring rows" for yet another variation. Our coaches will work with each member to advise and help them progress through the scaling options.
We also believe that each athlete has to know how hard they can push their body. There's a difference between tired and pain. We do not push past pain.
Regarding safety, we have one rule:
Leave your ego at the door.
