Welcome to CrossFit Caloundra – Let’s Make Your First Month Legendary!
🏁 1. Start Slow, Stay Consistent It’s tempting to go all-in straight away, but consistency trumps intensity.
What to do:
- Aim for 3 classes per week to start.
- Prioritise showing up rather than pushing as hard as possible each workout.
- Recovery matters just as much as training, so schedule in your rest days along with your training days.
Why it matters: Building a foundation now reduces your injury risk and sets you up for long-term success.
📚 2. Learn the Lingo CrossFit has its own language!
Don’t stress, we all start as beginners.
Key terms to know:
- WOD = Workout of the Day
- AMRAP = As Many Rounds As Possible
- EMOM = Every Minute On the Minute
- Rx = As prescribed (the standard version of a workout)
Pro tip: Ask questions. Our coaches love to help.
🧠 3. Focus on Form Over Weight
Leave your ego at the door. Mastering technique now pays off massively later.
What to watch for:
- Listen carefully to movement demos during warm-ups.
- Ask for feedback often.
- Stay in control: good reps > heavy reps.
Remember: The best athletes are the ones who move well.
🍽 4. Fuel Your Body Like It’s an Athlete’s
Training like an athlete means eating and hydrating like one too.
Essentials:
- Drink at least 2–3 litres of water per day.
- Prioritize whole foods: lean proteins, veggies, fruit, and complex carbs.
- Eat before and after class, even if it’s just a banana and a protein shake.
You don’t need to be perfect—just intentional.
👊🏼 5. Lean into the Community CrossFit isn’t just fitness, it’s belonging.
How to plug in:
- Introduce yourself to 2 new people each week.
- Hang around after class to chat (or stretch).
- Follow @CrossFitCaloundra on socials and tag us in your progress!
Support is our superpower. You’re not here to do this alone.
🎯 Bonus: Set a Tiny Goal
Pick one small thing you want to achieve in your first month.
Here are some ideas:
- Attend 12 classes
- Improve your air squat or push up by practicing at home
- Remember everyone’s name in your regular class
Then tell a coach, we’ll help you hit it.
You’ve got this. We’re stoked to be part of your journey. Welcome to the crew.
