What am I Paying For?
CrossFit boxes are very different from other gyms you may have been to. In a globo-gym you simply do your own program either alone or with a partner. CrossFit, however, is based on extremely effective training provided by a CrossFit trainer. Training at a CrossFit box (yes, we call our gyms “boxes”) is more like taking a group exercise class. At CrossFit Impulse a trainer(s) conducts each class. The trainer helps you determine the right workout of the day (WOD) for you based on ability level, injuries, and any other relevant factors. Each class will generally perform the WOD together while the trainer supervises. The trainer will lead the warmup, refresh everyone on proper movements and standards relevant to the WOD, coach and encourage each athlete during the WOD, and ensure each athlete is performing movements safely.
CrossFit Fundamentals
By now you can tell that CrossFit is unique. In order to start taking group classes you need to learn the fundamentals of CrossFit. One way to do this is through our CrossFit Fundamentals class. CrossFit Fundamentals is comprised of three training sessions of about an hour. We conduct CrossFit Fundamentals every 2-4 weeks depending on how quickly our minimum class size is met. CrossFit Fundamentals is taught in a group setting that is fun and effective. You might even meet some new friends. CrossFit Fundamentals is $100, which includes all three sessions. In order to participate in daily classes you must have either completed CrossFit Fundamentals, be CrossFit level 1 certified, or have completed a similar course at another CrossFit affiliate. While this may seem a little draconian, this ensures that everyone starts with a similar base of knowledge. After completing CrossFit Fundamentals you will be able to perform the WODs confidently, safely, and effectively. This will allow you to focus on your performance during daily WODs instead of wondering how to perform a correct air squat or how to setup your rower. Contact us if you would like to reserve your spot in the next Fundamentals series.
Scheduled Classes
After you’ve completed CrossFit Fundamentals or otherwise satisfied that requirement, you’re ready for daily classes. We are currently offering unlimited classes at an introductory rate of $60 per month. If you join with a significant other/spouse/family member then you can both train for $100 per month. No contracts are required. You do receive a small discount if you wish to pay three or six months at a time. Special service members (active duty military, firefighter, law enforcement, EMT) also receive a small discount. Classes are offered according to our schedule here.
Automated Billing
CrossFit Impulse members can now sign up to have membership dues paid automatically each month via credit card. Use the “Subscribe” button at the top right of your screen to sign up for recurring payments each month. This service is only available at the $60/month general membership rate. We cannot currently offer this service with any other price point or discount you may receive when paying via check or cash. If you qualify for a membership discount (special service member, partner, etc) and determine the ease and simplicity of automated payments is worth the small additional cost, then you can still sign up for automated monthly billing, but only at the $60/month level. We regret we cannot offer additional pricing options with automated billing, but the fees involved with the automated billing service and CrossFit Impulse’s low membership rate of $60/month makes this infeasible.
Drop-In
If you have completed our CrossFit Fundamentals series, completed a similar class at another affiliate, or are CrossFit level 1 certified, then you can drop-in on any of our scheduled WODs for $10 per drop-in. No membership necessary. Just like our regularly scheduled WODs, this is only for athletes with at least a base of CrossFit experience. If you are new to CrossFit then please schedule CrossFit Fundamentals with us before dropping in.
Personal Training
If you want to train at CrossFit Impulse but don’t prefer a group atmosphere, then we offer personal training. Personal training is scheduled by appointment and costs $70 per one-hour session. You can also schedule “partner personal training” for you and a friend/spouse/family member for $100 per one-hour session.
Terms
We currently accept payment via cash, check, and credit cards via automated monthly billing. All payments must be made in advance of training. Payment for CrossFit Fundamentals is due at time of scheduling. We have big plans for CrossFit Impulse. As we continue to increase the availability, quality, and quantity of our services, rates will change. Anyone who becomes a member under an existing rate may continue to pay that monthly rate for at least 6 months before having to absorb any rate increases.
Questions?
Email us at crossfitimpulse@gmail.com or call us at 256.361.XFIT (9348). We also encourage you to drop by a few minutes before one of our scheduled WODs and say hello. We’ll talk with you about what we do and how we do it. You’re also welcome to observe one of our classes to see exactly what CrossFit Impulse is like. If you’ve decided to join, then you can also download our membership application. It contains all of the above information on rates and asks for a little info we’d like to know about you before you train with us.
