TYPES OF CLASSES
WOD class is part of a complete program designed to improve strength and conditioning.
The “WOD” is the “workout of the day.” Each six block of carefully planned daily WODs are posted to our app (WODify) in advance so you can see what is coming. The program is designed to improve strength and conditioning across the board. The WOD can be modified (adjusted) to provide a suitable challenge for athletes at any level. You will be coached through a warm-up, skill preparation for all elements of the workout, then finally we will hit the workout.
