You DESERVE a BETTER lifestyle and CrossFit Scottsdale is here to make sure that you are set up for success. We are thrilled to partner with Health Ease;  a locally owned company who helps busy professionals reach optimal health with PLANNED, PREPARED, & DELIVERED nutrition daily. This program will allow you to live an easier and healthier lifestyle, while still satisfying your desire for delicious grab and go food.

High quality, fresh, portioned, paleo meals are now available at CrossFit Scottsdale 5 days a week M-F. The Health Ease team will deliver fresh breakfast, lunch/dinner and muffins daily in the 6am hour for your convenience and pleasure. Grab a breakfast plate after your morning WOD and take a muffin with you for your snack at work or come in for a nooner and leave with a great nutritious lunch. Don’t have the time or energy to make dinner, no problem grab some at the gym. Either way, you are on the right track to optimum health and fitness. Preparation is half the battle, why not let someone else fight it for you?

Are you too busy to cook and prepare meals ahead of time, and then do all the dishes afterwards? Or maybe you don’t have time to think about what your next meal is so you just skip it or eat something unhealthy? Have you gone to bed without eating dinner because you didn’t go grocery shopping? How about getting takeout or fast food because it was more convenient? Even though you know all of these can have severe and long term effects on your health, it still happens right? Not if we can help it… next time you are in, grab a meal and see how convenient and easy it is to eat right.

CrossFit Scottsdale Level Testing plays an important role for both new members just beginning a workout program and elite competitors as well. First of all, level testing allows us to set a goal and strive for it. We find that focusing on a goal and the steps required to reach it is far more effective then working out aimlessly. Secondly, level testing allows us to set a foundation. By doing level testing we are able to uncover areas of weakness that we have and work to make them our strengths, something that we all need to do in order to be well rounded. If there is a certain piece or exercise in one of the level tests that will be tough for you then make a habit of working on that piece before or after class and track your progress. Your results will improve in other areas as well. Level testing also allows us to know which classes will best fit your needs. If I am a not a Level 1 student then I will most likely need more instruction then someone who is already a Level 3 student and can attend a class accordingly.

And of course most of all Level Testing is supposed to be FUN. It allows us to strive for something, work hard for it, hear our names cheered on by coaches and peers, stand on top of the podium to collect our new bands and to wear our Level band with pride, showing off how far we have come to achieve our goals. Because in the end our fitness is about where we end up, not where we begin.
