About the i-Course
In one action-packed day you will be taught:
How to squat
How to perform the nine fundamental CrossFit moves, including the Olympic lifts: squat, front squat, overhead squat, press, push-press, push-jerk, clean, Sumo deadlift high-pull and deadlift. Plus the snatch
How to swing and snatch a kettlebell
After that, it’s how to practice handstands and the handstand push-up with all the assistance exercises currently recommended
Amazing core stability: the dish hold, hollow rock and the L-sit
We will also play with the pull-up: strict & Crossfit kipping. We use bands if you need pull-up assistance (we were all there once!)
Then it’s a mixture of floor and rings to look at push-ups, front supports,ring dips and rows
We will also have a quick peek at stretching
FAQ
Why is this called the i-Course?
Because the “i” could stand for “introduction”, “introspection”, “information” or “intermediate”. Beginners or intermediate trainees can come to this course and get massive benefits. Others may be interested in checking out Crossfit, or just getting a few extra moves to add to their own training. Everyone is welcome.
How was it developed?
The course grew out of a series of masterclasses run by Crossfit London during 2005. The content was refined with support from Miles Key (Crossfit Hove) and Chet Morjaria (FK-UK) over 3 years before appearing in a consolidated form in late 2008
I have no arm strength. Won’t this be waste of time as I can’t push-up, let alone pull up?
This day is about progressions and scaling. Once you understand the principles of working across gravity, rather than against it, you will be able to adapt all the Crossfit exercises and then learn the next progression to help you improve your strength. We make the coaching process very explicit so you can continue to teach yourself.
So I do this course and I’m sorted?
This is six hours of skill teaching, not training. We hope to get you to a level where you can train on your own. At the end of the six hours some will have picked it all up, others will struggle and want to reattend. These are skills which need practice. It’s not about sitting in a machine and working one joint; you need to learn to coordinate and balance yourself. If you pay attention to the progressions and the drills, you will have a lot of “sign posts” in your training.
I’m a fitness instructor/personal trainer. Will this session be any good for me?
As we find a lot of personal trainers to be weak and uncoordinated, this is an ideal session to come to. However, the aim of this session is not to certify individuals to teach Crossfit, Olympic weightlifting or gymnastics. If you genuinely aspire to teach, this course will give you a massive advantage over others embarking on their first certification. Crossfit certification seminars are frequently available in the USA.
During the session you will be able to talk to those who have done their certifications, and those in the process of preparing to go.
I’m not serious about Crossfit, I just want to add a few extra skills to my training
That’s fine. Loyalty to Crossfit is not demanded. We are just delighted to share our skill set.
Do we get a book and a t shirt?
There will be a course manual and t-shirts to buy on the day.
What about discounts?
We offer a 15% to members of the Armed Services and Emergency Services. We also offer a discount to students in full time education. Please contact us for more details.
