CrossFit Louisville East

“So why should I join CrossFit Louisville East over xxx gym”? I often get this question when people are considering joining CFLE over another CrossFit gym or Globo gym.  Here are a few things you should consider when looking at gyms/trainers (boxes/coaches in CrossFit lingo): 1. Experience level of your trainer/coach.   *What qualifications do they possess?  Research what is required to obtain each Certification.  Not all are created equal.  Legitimate    certifications have testing procedures that are held to national standards.  *How long have they been training/coaching?  There is much to learn in this field in order to address individual personal training needs & to properly, safely, and effectively scale a CrossFit WOD for everyone in class.  Check the record of your trainer/coach by talking to those they currently train.  The “After a few months of working out I decided to open a gym/start personal training” answer should be a warning sign! *What is their fitness level?  Although the best trainers/coaches are typically not the best natural born athlete a trainer/coach should be able to demonstrate correct technique on every movement and a high skill level. 2. “Do I have to sign a contract”?  No.  All of our memberships are month to month, you can cancel at any time. 3. Two locations for one price!  When you join CrossFit Louisville East you also have full access to CrossFit The Ville at 909 East Market! 4. Open Gym Hours.  Many CrossFit gyms are only open during classes.  We give you the option to sign up for just Open gym or classes.  Either way you have unlimited access to two gyms at any time during our normal hours. 5. AC/Heat, Showers, etc.  We’re all about high intensity training and doing things the hard way but we also realize that when it’s 100 degrees outside you’ll be able to push yourself harder in a not so extreme climate!  This is also for your safety.  We don’t cancel classes for extreme temperatures.  We also realize you may have to work for a living and your co-workers will like you better if you can shower after your workout! 6. Advantage Fitness gym equipment.  In addition to all of our CrossFit specific equipment we also have various modalities of strength training equipment, treadmills, versa climbers, air dyne, recumbent, and upright bikes, etc.  We also have functional & sport specific equipment.  If you want to do CrossFit but your spouse just wants a place to do “normal” workouts you can both feel at home here. 7. Large workout areas.  With approximately 5000 square feet at each location (and an additional 50,000 square feet at Louisville East of tennis court space) and large parking lots we have largest CrossFit locations in town. 8. CrossFit Classes 7 days a week!  We continue to add more classes as demand increases. 9. Free bodyfat analysis for Unlimited Members.  Need proof that training under our guidance works?  You need to accurately monitor bodyfat along with strength gains.  We’re here to keep you on track! 10. Special Holiday Workouts.  Every Holiday we put on free workouts that all are invited to and they are a blast!  These started years ago in my garage with a few clients and friends and have grown to where we are today…75 people on Thanksgiving morning!
