The main workout, known as the Workout of the Day (WOD), involves a combination of functional movements such as weightlifting, gymnastics, and cardio exercises. The workouts are often timed or scored to track your progress and provide a sense of friendly competition. Throughout the class, you'll receive guidance and coaching from certified CrossFit trainers who ensure proper technique and safety. The class ends with a cool-down and stretching session to aid in recovery. Each day's workout can vary, keeping the experience exciting and challenging.
