Crossfit 561

I’ve been attending Crossfit561 for a little over 2 years now. What I like most about Crossfit561 is the family we have all built with one another. We have all formed a family and team that boosts each other daily ! We all support each other and help each other reach personal goals and grow
In so many ways. We all stick together and help each other with no judgement. There really isn’t enough room to explain how Crossfit makes you feel! Jose is a supportive and a great coach who will push you past your comfort zone but also keep you intact with safety. He keeps us all balanced and focused on what’s important. We are all a family and love when others join our team. I look forward to our 5 am and Saturday classes. I am also excited to know the WOD the next day! I love too how I can push myself to do things I could never do. Also Crossfit not only makes you stronger in the moment but long term effects in daily routines and emergency events. It’s a lifestyle and I can’t imagine my life with it!

Just a heads up, I am a CrossFitter of 4 years at this point, instructor for over 2 and travel quite a bit. This is about the 25^th CrossFit box I have worked out in around the world.
Head Trainer has lost over 150 pounds so he can work with everybody of every shape! The ONLY CrossFit box I’ve worked out in Florida that is enclosed and has air conditioning, talk about a NICE surprise!!! These guys also believe in going heavy with Kettlebells, RX for men/​women here is 70lbs and 55 lbs. He has about 12qty 70 pounders so you get the feeling you should be working with these. I don’t mind since our box has 40 & 44kg ones so I am used to even heavier BUT we only have one of each of those big boys.
We started with a simple dynamic warmup and stretching then followed it by a strength progression of increasing weight of hang cleans and push jerks with a 1 minute rest between each set. Then the workout was a simple but destructive 8 minute AMRAP of 10 burpees and 10 KBS. The music isn’t going to be cranked up CRAZY loud here since the audio bounces off the walls quite a bit and the trainer wants to be heard when coaching his athletes. I’m pretty sure rower workouts don’t happen often since their are only 2 rowers in this facility.
He also had a nice Olympic Lifting room to the side with the necessary equipment to work on progressions for your OLY lifts. The kids room was in great shape with a big window for everyone to see in and out easily. I would highly recommend! They also offer a first class free if you want to just check out the vibe here!
