What is CrossFit?

At CrossFit Peoria, our coaching, training, and programming is centered on the CrossFit methodology,  meaning our focus is on workouts that utilize functional movements, that are constantly varied, executed at high intensity and scalable to your abilities. 

Functional movements are the natural movements your body goes through in life like running, lifting, squatting, pushing, and pulling. You will train your body to move how it was designed to move, not how a machine was. Constantly varied means every day you’ll take on a new or different challenge. 

High intensity is relative to everyone's abilities and is the shortcut to results. We want to help you find your intensity while making sure the workouts you are doing are manageable based on your individual capabilities.

How do I get started with CrossFit?

To start, all new members complete our ON-RAMP Program. If you’ve done CrossFit previously at our facility or another affiliate facility, click here.

What is the On-Ramp Program?

On-Ramp is the name for our getting started program. It is required by all first time CrossFitters to complete the program before joining our regular classes. The focus of On-Ramp is technique (not intensity).  We also strongly encourage you come to a Thursday mobility class as well.

During On-Ramp sessions, we teach, demonstrate, and drill how to perform functional movements correctly ranging from basic gymnastics, barbell foundations, and other common movement found in our program and then finish up with a workout .

Moving correctly is necessary for your results, sets your foundation, helps avoid injury and gives you the basic skills necessary for moving forward. The On- Ramp may be an easy experience for some, and a more difficult experience for others.

No worries. Just keep in mind that this is a learning period to prepare you for mastering movement and building strength and stamina to tackle those WODs (Workout Of the Day) to come. Click to join now.

Where are CrossFit Peoria programs held?

All of our Classes are held at CrossFit Peoria location in Peoria, Illinois at 428 SW Washington St, Peoria, IL 61602. Click to view the CrossFit Peoria facility on a map.

Are there shower facilities available at the CrossFit Peoria facility?

YES! We have showers in both the men’s and women’s restroom/locker rooms at the CrossFit Peoria facility.

Why no TVs at the CrossFit Peoria facility?

REALLY? REALLY? Do I have to go there? It’s called “couch potato.” Ever hear of it? We don’t want “gym potatoes.” When did a TV actually help anyone get and stay fit?

Why no machines at the CrossFit Peoria facility?

Machines were developed to eliminate the cost of a personal trainer or coach. Unfortunately machines are not functional because they work a single joint movement in a very low power output. Not ideal for elite fitness or measurable results.

We are here to coach and teach you to move naturally, how your body was designed to move, not how a machine was designed. Machines can only move one way and we are all not carbon copies of each other. All our bodies are different and are capable of amazing feats!

Why no mirrors in the CrossFit Peoria facility?

We are not preparing for a beauty pageant sweetheart. We are training for REAL LIFE. When you walk out of our doors real life hits you in the face. You better be prepared physically and mentally to overcome the crap life slings our way. I know our athletes are, are you?
