First Elements Class Of 2012

EDCF is proud to announce our first Elements Class of 2012 will be starting this Wednesday (Jan. 4th) at 7:30pm.

The elements program is your gateway into the community of East Dallas CrossFit. Each program is small to give you personal attention and to build your knowledge about our basic movements and help foster skill development. At the end of the elements program you’ll know how to scale exercises to your level of fitness and will also know how to perform every workout that comes up. Once you’re done with the program, you’ll be ready to hop into regular group classes!

A new elements course starts every two weeks. This course consists of six one hour sessions designed to introduce you to the movements used in CrossFit and transition you safely into our regular classes. See our schedule for class times. Private Elements courses are also available.

Completion of an Elements course or a Skills Test is required for all members.

Call and reserve your spot ASAP!

Thrusting Into the New Year

Jason Khalipa, a former Games champion, breaks down the thruster. Pay attention to the part where he talks about how keeping the elbows up in the front squat segment translates to more hip drive. This then leads to a more powerful extension of the hips and arms.
