Description
The
Level 1 Certificate Course introduces the methodology, terminology, and
movements foundational to CrossFit. The course is comprised of lectures,
movement “break out” sessions for hands-on practice, and workouts. These
elements enable participants to better apply the program for personal use and
to begin training others with CrossFit.
This
course has a 55 multiple-choice question written test at its conclusion.
