PRIVATE TRAINING OPTIONS AT DAYBREAK CROSSFIT

WHAT IS PRIVATE or PERSONAL TRAINING?

We have had a significant increase in inquiries regarding personal, or private, training options at Daybreak, so we thought we’d provide more information to help our members determine if and how these services can help them achieve their health, wellness and fitness goals. All these services can be scheduled at your convenience during or outside of our normal class schedule.

Daybreak offers both 60-minute sessions (which can be broken into 30 minute chunks as needed) for you to work one-on-one with a coach on a specific aspect of your nutrition and/or fitness. We also offer options for semi-private training for groups of 5 or less.

Pricing options can be found on our website HERE or contact us at [email protected].

NUTRITION SERVICES WE OFFER

NUTRITION COUNSELING: We all know that any fitness program, including CrossFit, without attention to nutrition is not likely to provide optimal results. Daybreak can help you build a plan that is balanced and, more importantly, sustainable. We’ve learned that binge diets and “turn the ship on a dime” approaches don’t work. Rather, we’ll build a plan together taking into account your work, family and/or general lifestyle to make sure this is something you CAN and WANT to do over the long haul.

You will learn about and how to use Zone, Paleo, Macro and Whole 30 concepts, among others, and we will take the time to tailor them to your needs. We will build an actionable plan where we can track progress towards your own, personalized fitness and nutrition goals. And trust us, it’s not as bad as you may think. Click the tabs below to learn more.

For more information on our nutrition philosophy, how the program works and our rates, visit our website HERE or contact us at [email protected].

FITNESS SERVICES WE OFFER

PRE-CROSSFIT TRAINING: While it’s true that you do NOT have to “get ready” to do CrossFit, we do find some members prefer to learn the basics in a more private setting before joining our classes. In this PRE-CROSSFIT PROGRAM, we’ll teach you about CrossFit, the role of nutrition, how we adapt workouts to our members, and most importantly, we’ll carefully guide you through many of the foundational movements that will apply to the workouts you’ll see in our gym.

We will monitor your progress and you can decide when you’d like to integrate into our CrossFit classes. This program will also give you the flexibility to schedule sessions at times that fit best into your schedule.

GENERAL FITNESS: If you’re interested in either functional fitness or HIIT (high-intensity interval training) without the desire to attend CrossFit classes, our GENERAL FITNESS program is for you. This customized program typically focuses on building a broad, general fitness that applies to everything you do outside the gym.

Whether you just want to get just get fit, or lose a little weight, or win your club tennis championship, or PR your next 10K run, we can build a program tailored to your abilities, your needs, and your goals.

STRENGTH + MASS: Are you trying to build strength? Increase your one-rep max lifts? Develop that “V” shaped body? Or just looking to gain muscle mass? We focus our STRENGTH and MASS program on very specific muscle building exercises that will fill you out in the areas you specify. We’ll also discuss your nutritional needs to help you determine if you’re putting the right types and quantities of food in your body that are required to translate your exercise program into results.

This program is less about intensity, and more about moving large loads while building core muscle groups that will make you look good and feel good.

SKILL + TECHNIQUE: Our SKILL and TECHNIQUE sessions are designed to help you get more proficient at a given movement or exercise. We will not only work with you to fine tune your technique, but we will also build a custom training plan you can take with you to practice what you’ve learned long after your session is over. We can work on any movement or exercise you find challenging, but we most often see requests for: double-unders, pull-ups, muscle-ups, olympic lifting (snatch or clean & jerk), rowing, running, handstand-push ups, and handstand walking.

For optimal results, we suggest 2 separate 30 minute sessions. In our first session, we will get your technique and form dialed in, and then we’ll revisit your progress after a few weeks in our second session making further adjustments as necessary.
