The problem that I see with a lot of remote crossfit coaching lies within the coaching. The space is becoming saturated, and with the saturation you will get an influx of people looking to make a dollar. So the coaching, the programming, and the connection will become watered down as people price shop and/or program hop. So, here are a few things that people should be looking for, or receiving with their CrossFit remote coaching program.

I am sure that if I were to ask you what you need to do to improve your abilities for the New Year, you could rattle off twenty different principles or methods to implement that you feel could give you an edge. Hopefully, by now, anyone who is training has someone who is overseeing some aspect of what they are doing (especially if you have particular goals) and is providing you a road map to get there. So, for this article, I wanted to talk about five “unconventional” habits that I think everyone should do. The crazy part is, that if you do perform these habits, I have no doubt you will become better.

Wodapalooza is upon us! We are now five weeks out from the throwdown in Miami. This timeframe marks the final push for a competitive training block within a program. So I want to talk about three things you can start to think about as you plan out your training or your athlete’s training.

Some coaches out there like to think that their information is under lock and key and they would never consider sharing thoughts or tips with other coaches or their clients. This, to me, is the sign of an immature coach. This field is only where it is today from those who paved the way before us and shared all their information with those who came after them. For that matter, it is up to us to pave the way for those who are following in our footsteps and will bring our field into the next stage!

Let’s start by defining what a training template is. This is a program that someone writes and it is followed by a group of people. A training template is not individualized, and it is usually based on a single person or avatar. The person or group that is following the template will all be performing the same training sessions as everyone else on the program.

What I want to go through are the pros and cons, as well as what to look for when you are shopping around.

In this day and age, information is not the issue. The issue is being able to decipher between all the marketing bullshit you see each day.

This also applies to finding an online CrossFit coach. You can open up your computer and whoever has the biggest marketing dollars behind them will probably be flooding your inbox with advertisements and name drops.

With the ever-changing landscape of the fitness industry, we have noticed a big push in online CrossFit programming. One can definitely say that with the changing environment around COVID, the pursuit to develop an online CrossFit program exploded within the community. Whether this was caused by a greater need to deliver a means for people to maintain fitness, or another revenue stream for coaches in a broader market with a more diverse population, it is there, and it will stay there…

I want to get out a strong set of principles that I feel every beginner, and for that matter, even experienced, CrossFitter should focus on. These principles will create the foundation that will ensure a strong ability for longevity and injury prevention. When it is all said and done, the ability to maintain training/movement and health is what it all comes down to.

In this day and age, getting information is not the issue, rather it’s how you apply that information to best serve your mission that is getting harder and harder. With regards to training, we are flooded with information everyday from what online “professionals” view as the “most important” training you can do, without ever knowing a thing about you. Oftentimes this leads people down a rabbit hole of training and various methods that others are doing without ever taking into account their own directional needs. Hence why we wanted to share with you the important factors that you should pay attention to when looking for an online CrossFit training program.

Over the span of the past year, we have seen a big switch to online coaching in the fitness industry. Within this space, there are two main forms of online coaching. The first type of online CrossFit coaching is with a group template.
