The CFMO Bootcamp consists of 8 classes that all new Mt Olympians complete within the first six weeks of training. Normally a new athlete will attend two bootcamp classes and one regular class during this time.
The bootcamp serves the same purpose bootcamp does for the military–teaching 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 are 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 count toward the number of classes you attend each week.
We are implementing these classes to improve our virtuosity–performing the common uncommonly well.
