How do I sign up for a No Sweat Intro?
Schedule your No Sweat Intro with us by filling out the contact form with all of your details, and we will contact you to schedule an appointment that best fits your schedule for convenience.
How long does it take to see results?
Results take time, but if you’re consistent, they will come. If you are a beginner, results will come fairly quickly; even in only 30 days, you may start to see a difference in your strength and overall fitness. By tracking metrics, you will not only feel better, but you'll tangibly be able to see improvements from weights lifted, to time worked out, to changes in body composition and how your clothes fit!
Do I get the chance to meet new friends?
Yes. We like to organize our fitness classes into small groups, as this allows you to meet others who share likeminded approaches to fitness.
What sets you apart from other gyms?
CrossFit Fringe has served Columbia since 2009 and is one of the First 500 CrossFit Affiliates worldwide. We combine experienced coaching, a 6,000+ sq. ft. facility, CrossFit classes, Kids, Vitality, Nutrition, Personal Training, and a long history of helping everyone from beginners to Games-level athletes train safely and successfully.
How often do you recommend coming to workout classes?
If you are a beginner, we recommend starting with 2 to 4 classes a week, with the goal of working up to 5 a week after your first few months. It may take a while for your body to get used to training at that intensity, so listen to your body and know you will need recovery time between training days.
Do you provide free refreshments there?
We have filtered water available to our members. Other snacks and drinks are available for purchase.
Do I have to be fit to join?
No! No matter what your current fitness level is, we have the fitness program that is right for you. Every workout is designed to help you succeed, improve fitness, and move you toward your goals. Our program is designed for universal scalability, making it the perfect application for any committed individual regardless of experience.
What payment methods do you accept?
We take all major credit cards and debit cards. We do not accept personal checks unless setup through ACH.
What kind of exercises can I expect during a workout?
Our class programming may include a strength portion in which you’ll work on something like Olympic weightlifting, deadlifting, squatting, or bodyweight strength or you may work on a skill like getting upside down or hanging from rings. After the strength or skill portion of the class is complete, most days will involve a workout that was programmed for that specific day. Workouts can be anywhere between 5 to 20 minutes or more.
Do I have to stop eating my favorite foods to be healthy?
No! A healthy lifestyle has to be manageable and realistic for the long term. Do enjoy special indulgences and meals! The healthier you are, the healthier you tend to want to eat. You get hooked on feeling good, and junk food just isn’t worth it. By avoiding excessive amounts of refined carbohydrates and measuring your intake of protein, carbohydrates, and fat, you will see dramatic, measurable increases in health.
