Q. Do I need experience or some minimum level of fitness?
A. No. Our workouts and exercises scale to any level. We’ve had all levels of physical fitness and ages. However, we recommend starting your training in our Boot Camp classes to build endurance, stability and strength with your body weight first. Still worried? If Kyle can do it, I think you can too!
Q. I have/had an injury. Can I still do CrossFit?
A. Many of our members have successfully used CrossFit to rehabilitate from minor injuries. Because people continue to move, work, and play in the real world regardless of injury history, we believe the best route to long-term health is to learn perfect form on functional movements, then to slowly build strength in those movements, rather than to avoid them altogether. At the same time, our instructors are always happy to work with you to scale and substitute exercises, to tailor workouts to your abilities. That said, we cannot offer you specific medical advice, and advise that you consult your physician before starting this (or any other) exercise program.
Q. How do I start?

Q. But what if I’m really, really fit?

Q. Why is your price point higher then large commercial gyms?

Q. Can I just come to CrossFit White Bear and work out on my own?
A. In most cases No. We are more like a dojo than a typical commercial gym. We offer classes, workshops and small group sessions, where people work out under trainer supervision, as it yields better, safer, and faster results than having people simply use the facility by themselves. Some exceptions may be made for ADVANCED CrossFit athletes.
