Beginning

Call Charles at 225.288.7208 or email him at charles@tpgcrossfit to schedule your free introductory session. When you determine that our style of training is a good fit, you will schedule you on-ramp session(s). The on-ramp program will give you an initial overview of the movements and methods we use along with the general philosophy of training in which we subscribe.

Our style of training will be a new experience for most members. Therefore, it is paramount that novices scale the workout according to their present levels of fitness. A methodical start emphasizing competence in the movements coupled with a gradual increase in intensity will pay off in the long run. Charles will provide progressive scaling suggestions for you.

Frequency

We offer multiple workouts every week. This does not mean it is necessary (or beneficial) to participate in all workouts. Two workouts with The Proving Ground per week is plenty for the new trainee. Our schedule is designed for your convenience, not to obligate you. Each person's recovery ability is different. Please listen to your body and your mind. It is recommended that, at the least, all athletes train at 1/2 intensity every fourth week and take every twelfth week completely off from organized training. Remember, this is a suggestion. Many athletes will need to take longer or more frequent breaks.

Please take a look at the FAQ, Read This and ME Workout sections found on the main page of the blog. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to email Charles @ charles@tpgcrossfit.com.
