What type of athlete are you?

Beginner

For students at an entry skill level and entry fitness level.  Time on the “Baseline” Workout time is slower than 9 minutes.  Many movements that are done in a gym and/or in CrossFit are unfamiliar.  Your focus is on basic conditioning and movement skill and technique.

Beginner/Intermediate

Not a beginner, but still working on building a base level of strength and conditioning and technical expertise.  Baseline Workout time is between 6:00 – 9:00 minutes.  Starting to get to know the names of movements, but still unsure of the amount of weight to use, and exactly how to do many of the more complex CrossFit movements.

Intermediate/Advanced

Confidence, strength and conditioning are stronger than ever.  Have mastered all of the basic and intermediate CrossFit movements and are working on the more advanced weightlifting and gymnastic movements.  Can take a friend through a CrossFit workout with confidence.  Pull ups are done without assistance and Baseline time is between 4:30 – 6:00 minutes.

Advanced

Student is confident and capable with all CrossFit movements and workouts and has made CrossFit a regular part of life.  He/she is comfortable and confident creating their own workouts and is working on mastering specific skills.  Student has attended a CrossFit seminar or a specialty seminar and can serve as a model for any movement in a class.  Level 3 students are looked upon as the leaders at CrossFit Naples even though they are not necessarily instructors.
