Who: As the name says, it is an advanced class and participation will require familiarity with all Basic CrossFit movements as well as a good physical capacity. Also a Gold membership will be required: Participants should have been training CrossFit for at least a few months on a regular basis. As a Guideline, we will use the Athletic skill chart and require a certain number of abilities under the section "Intermediate athlete". Get in touch with your coach to find out more.
What: In the advanced class, we will be able to touch on the finer points of technique of basic movements as well as progress to more advanced movements to promote the participants skill levels even further. Also, we go over tactics and strategies for workouts which will be very helpful in a competition setting such as challenges, Fittest in Cape Town competition or CrossFit Games.
Beyond working out: Participants will likely form the core of a future Cape CrossFit competition team.
The coach: We are blessed to have Chris Öman as head instructor for the advanced class. He has been training most of his life, in most recent years mostly CrossFit. He has great coaching skills as well as lots of experience in CrossFit competitions. Have a look at his fantastic blog and the video below...

Show up for classes on a regular Basis. Practice whenever you can. Eat well and sleep a lot. Be persistent. Buying Chris (dark!!!) chocolate will help, but is no guarantee to be get into class ;)
