CrossFit Roots is pleased to announce that it was asked to host the CrossFit Level 1 Certificate Course on June 30 – July 1, 2012.  We are very excited to host this two-day seminar.

The CrossFit Level 1 Certificate Course serves a number of purposes.  The CrossFit websitedescribes it best:

The Level 1 Trainer Certificate Course introduces the mechanical, conceptual, and theoretical foundations of CrossFit. Additionally, there will be “break out’ sessions for demonstration and practical application of the 9 Foundational Movements. The lectures, demonstrations, presentations, and breakouts all serve to indoctrinate participants with CrossFit’s conceptual underpinnings, while the workouts serve to reinforce/drive home the application.  Events rotate approximately hourly for the duration making for two long days.

The Level 1 Certificate Course serves many different people – it is for the individual who would like to learn about CrossFit for the first time, the individual who has had a life changing experience through CrossFit and wants to gain a deeper understanding of the method, foundation, and movements, and for the individual who would like to take their first step toward coaching athletes.

Now, for the exciting news!
