CrossFit Orillia

Instagram is cool because we can post some shots of how awesome July was and some guy named Erling Braut Haaland will comment “Nice”.

Will you join him?

Want to try a class but a little nervous?
Here’s an email we got from someone who just tried a class for the first time last night.

It’s okay to be nervous! 😊 but don’t let it hold you back from finding what you’re looking for!

In a traditional gym you workout alone, headphones in, eyes down.

In a CrossFit gym, we workout together, we share, we encourage and we celebrate each others efforts.

Strength training or cardio? Which one is better for you?

In CrossFit we believe you should:
“Five or six days per week mix these elements in as many combinations and patterns as creativity will allow. Routine is the enemy.
Keep workouts short and intense.”

So really it’s not about which one is best, it’s about mixing them together so you can see improvements in both!
If that sounds daunting, don’t worry we take care of all that. You just have to show up and have fun 🤩

For the women who avoid working out because they worry about getting “bulky” - our team of highly experienced coaches are especially trained to keep a watchful eye on you to stop you before this happens.

What you will get is awesome toned arms and legs 💪

It’s never too late to surprise yourself…

For what it’s worth, when Cathie joined us she was unable to put her left arm over her head. A couple years of celebrations and high fives like this seemed to do the trick.

CrossFit is a lot like S*x Panther: 60% of the time, it works every time.

Today we celebrate Coach Marcus (Marcus Sadeghi)
Marcus has been with CrossFit Orillia since truly the beginning, well over 15 years!
Last year, we almost lost him. Today we do a community WOD - hero WODs are designed to honour those we lost, but today we’re breaking the script and CELEBRATING the fact that he’s still around with a reminder that we can do hard things when the moment calls upon us to and to focus on the positive things in life.
We raise a glass and do a burpee in honour of the HONEY BADGER.

As we post this, today is the start of the CrossFit Games. If you’re following us you’re either a fan of CrossFit or at least interested in it…

Whether it inspires you to get back into CrossFit, start it for the first time or just remember to nerd out over the Games. Hands down: they’re damn fun. You should watch them. Games.CrossFit.com will have all the coverage.
