Our Goal...

Our goal...

We aim to set ourselves apart from the traditional “gym type” atmosphere where you are anonymous and your success is not at the forefront of their priorities. At Corps Fitness, our main goal is to ensure you succeed because we know that satisfied and happy people always come back. We know that in order to thrive in anything you have to be motivated and inspired. When you walk through our door you will be welcomed by instructors and a group of all abilities that epitomizes both as well as providing the encouragement you need to push yourself beyond your preconceived barriers. This is group fitness combined with personal training but taken a step higher.
Double the motivation… Double the encouragement… Double the results… Guaranteed! You will leave every class exhausted but with the knowledge that you just outperformed anything you’ve ever done before. To know that you can exist on a higher level and feel better than you ever have is a feeling no one can take away from you. The emotional gains resulting from Corps Fitness are just as important as the physical as it will transcend into everything you do and give you a completely different outlook on fitness and being fit. Whether you are a beginner or advanced, athlete or novice, young or old, we will help motivate you to succeed and redefine your fitness limits.

Check out our schedule, find a time that works for you and come visit us for a FREE session or just come out and watch and let us inspire you. All classes will accommodate any fitness level but if you feel you are truly starting from scratch please check out our Basic Training, which will start with the fundamentals that make Corps Fitness great but at a much more manageable pace. We do not have any contracts so you are free to attend as little or as often as you choose but we’re confident you will choose the latter.

ABOVE ALL…WE ARE COMMITTED TO YOU AND YOUR FITNESS GOALS! Hope to see you soon...

Monday, monday...


How's that for a nice CrossFit WOD, sandwiched between 2 rounds of Corps Fitness....not unlike a panini!
Intense work today folks!
We're going to start tracking your times across WODs so you can see improvement and work on challenging yourself...to that end, we need names for the various workouts.
Since today was Deadlift, Squat Jump, and Dips, I was thinking of calling it "Lift, Jump, Dip." Post YOUR names for today's workout to comments (though I defy you to beat my creativity).

Death by Tabata

2 Rounds: 8 stations + 2 Tabata exercises (add some sprints for good measure).
Well, today's "Death by Tabata" was a huge success. NO, no one died! But KD almost hurled, ML almost pulled a hamstring, and JU rated it a 10 out of 10 on the Sweat-O-Meter...and folks, if that's not success, then what is?

NEXT WEEK: OLD SCHOOL CORPS FITNESS. This is a shout-out to all you CF throw-backs! Retro-style CF! So you can tell your kids, "When I was doing CF, we didn't have these fancy complicated mumbo-jumbo exercises..." No hip-hop lunge press jump. No hand-stand monkey squat ring jump. No way. Just the classics. CF purists interested in chaste circuits only please!

Post your favorite old-time circuit to Comments and we'll see what we come up with!

Great push today everyone!

Maui Waui!



Michelle brought Eddie along to class earlier in the Fall. He was in from Maui to visit family for a few months. (Now, you may ask, what kind of sister brings her brother from Maui to CF...when classes were still outside! But that's another blog post).

Eddie was an inspiration to all CFers. Upbeat, positive, witty...and driven to incorporate fitness as part of his lifestyle.

Anyway, today at 6am Eddie and Michelle roll into class. See, Eddie was upset with his time on last week's CF challenge (Bear crawl, KB swing, Push-Up). Michelle was upset with having to be there at 6am. And the rest of us were upset that there was no camera. Long story short, he beat his time! Dedicated, Motivated. Thanks Eddie! Enjoy home.

Intense, fun circuits

Outstanding work tonight at Basic Training. Basic calesthenics, basic functional movements, basic team drills...but GREAT results.
Dr. Nat: Textbook squat, knees tracking over feet, tall spine, head up, hips down! Way to go!

Basic nothing

Nothing basic about the way Corps Fitness people push themselves! Corps Fitness Basic Training is a great way to introduce yourself to the movements, exercises, and intensity of Corps Fitness workouts. Come on out or better yet bring a group of friends.
It's a commitment to full-body fitness (stability, flexibility, strength, power, balance) and a dedication to redefining your fitness limits. Check the schedule to the left for a Basic Training class that suits you!
