Essentially, a fun, friendly, yet high-intensity boot camp, with weights.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN MY FIRST CLASS?

The first Box Fit class should be an introductory class where you are taught the right movements and will have to do some WOD that beginners are able to do. You will learn some of the lingo. Don’t show up to a regular Box Fit class without having any experience in sports. The first class will be relatively hard but should not kill you.

BOX FITSEEMS INTIMIDATING…

Everyone you will meet at Box Fit… was a beginner at some point, we remember what it feels like!

DO I NEED EXPERIENCE OR SOME MINIMUM LEVEL OF FITNESS?

Box Fit is for anyone, regardless of their age or fitness level. If you care about health, real-world performance, or just want to look better naked, Box Fit is for you.

AM I TOO OLD FOR BOX FIT?

No. You are never too old to try Box Fit.

HOW STRONG DO I NEED TO BE?

You don’t need to be strong at all, you get strong by doing Box Fit. Many beginners can´t lift the empty barbell at first. The coaches will help you decide what weights you should work with in the beginning.

I HAVE NEVER DONE BOX FIT BUT I AM AN AWESOME ATHLETE. CAN I SKIP BOX FIT FOUNDATIONS?

No. We require everyone new to Box Fit to take Foundations Class so that we can make sure all of our members learn the basics of safe and effective movement. More information on Foundations class here.

CAN I JUST COME AND WORKOUT ON MY OWN?

No. We think you’ll get better, safer, faster results by working with a qualified coach – either in classes or one-on-one sessions – than working out alone. We offer 3 hours open gym every Sundays from 10:00 to 13:00.

WHY DO BOX FIT GYMS CHARGE MORE THAN OTHER REGULAR GYMS?

In a box, when you are in a class, there is usually a maximum of 10- 15 people doing the workout, so the coach can assist every single person on a personal level. All the coaches are professional and have done a coaching seminar to be able to work at an affiliate.

IS BOX FIT SAFE?

You can injure yourself in any activity, but BOx Fit is safer than many activities people perform every day. We work with people in 3 stages. First: mechanics (learning how to do the movements with correct technique), Second: Consistency (the ability to do the movements over and over again with safe and relatively efficient technique), Third: Intensity (the speed at which you do the movements). One does not come before the other.

”IF I HAVE A PREVIOUS INJURY, CAN I STILL DO BOX FIT?

Please talk to your doctor before starting Box Fit, or any fitness or nutrition program. Most coaches ask in your first class if you have any injuries or any problems in your body before starting the workout. If you have back problems for example the coach will help you find a way to reduce the strain on your back with a scaling option.
