Always Forward CrossFit History

Craig started to practice CrossFit in late 2008 in order to help his rock climbing and trail running.  The results over the next year and a half were transformative.  Excited to share CrossFit with everyone he could get to try it, he received his Level 1 Certification in January 2010 and began training his friends and family out of his garage.  Dianne began to use CrossFit for her training and received her Level 1 Certification in February 2011.  Results followed, and Always Forward CrossFit opened in the basement of the Welsh Hills School in January 2011.  Dennis, one of Craig’s earliest clients, began training at the gym in March and immediately became a “heavy hitter”, throwing energy at every WOD.  Dennis got his Level 1 Certification and became a partner in August 2011.  Strong results in our clients led to strong growth and we outgrew our old facility.  We moved to our current location in October 2011 and continue to grow by helping our clients grow.  Craig’s sister Traci got her Level 1 Certification in October and began training at the box in November 2011.

What We Do

CrossFit is a data-driven, clinically tested, community driven, strength and conditioning program.  CrossFit develops a fitness that broad and inclusive; we specialize in not specializing.  Our clients eliminate their physical weaknesses by mastering gymnastics (body control), weightlifting (control of external objects), and cardiovascular training (running, rowing, swimming, and biking).  There is no secret why our program works.  Our workouts are hard and intense and will push you into a new place physically and mentally.  For a more in depth description read: Understanding CrossFit

A CrossFit Certified trainer coaches all session and private training. We assess each athlete and individually scale or modify each workout by changing the load or intensity, but not the program. All fitness levels from grandmothers to college athletes can participate in the same class.  Our coaching is friendly, supportive, truthful, and challenging.  We welcome anyone yearning for a change and willing to work hard and move forward.

Forward, Always Forward, Everywhere Forward!
