As many of you know, Foundations class has changed to a more individualized program allowing us to customize the on-ramp process according to each person's fitness level, experience and limitations.
In addition to teaching movement patterns, Foundations Coaches also discuss CrossFit philosophies, and more specifically CF 7220's philosophies.
For instance, we use the mantra:
Mechanics -----> Consistency ------> then Intensity
(MCI)
What does this mean?
Develop proper mechanics with consistency before worrying about increasing intensity (or load).
Foundations is also a time where we determine if an individual is the right fit for CrossFit 7220 (and they determine if we are the right fit for them). Our community is the most vital part of CrossFit 7220 and we want to make sure any new members will contribute to our extraordinary group of people.
So we thought we should let you know what we've been saying about you!
The members of CrossFit 7220 are
