New Bootcamp Classes

CrossFit Mt Olympus Bootcamp

We are thrilled to announce a new series of classes, CrossFit Mt Olympus Bootcamp!  The CFMO Bootcamp will consist of 8 classes.

The bootcamp will serve the same purpose bootcamp does for the military–teach the basics so regular people can join elite ranks. 

There is one glaring difference–yelling.  I quickly learned to fear my drill sergeants and have no desire to relive that experience. 

We believe that positive motivation works better long term. CrossFit Mt Olympus strives to unleash your inner demi-gods and goddesses! 

The classes will be required for all new members and we encourage current Olympians to attend and brush up on your skills.  Each class will end with a workout to test the skills you just learned.  Classes will count toward the number of classes you attend each week.

We are implementing these classes to improve our virtuosity–performing the common uncommonly well.
