If you're unsure, don't worry. The first step in joining our gym is always to have an introductory meeting with a head coach to discuss the program and which option is best. Generally, most new members will follow Solas Training to master the basics of movement and slowly build up fitness. 

The CrossFit route is for those looking for 'something more' out of their training or trying to fill the void for those who played competitive team/individual sports. 

The CrossFit training programme is the best training programme in the world, covering all elements of fitness and the ten physical skills. If this programme is taught incorrectly, it can be dangerous but this is the same for any training programme that exists. Frequently, people blame the CrossFit programme on their injuries when it's poor coaching that is responsible.

We run two separate programmes at Solas - our Solas Training which focuses on health/wellness and our competitor 'CrossFit' program. Solas Training is designed to rebuild the body whereas our competitor programme would contain the same risks as any sport - hockey, football, triathlon etc.

Regardless of which training plan you choose, all our clients receive a postural & movement analysis on entry and will not be permitted to carry out movements that their bodies are not capable of performing.

So the simple answer is no.

Our entry system to CrossFit Solas is called Elements. This is a programme designed to teach people the fundamentals and basics of movement and develop a baseline of fitness. Over 95% of clients that Ian has trained in Elements over the past 12 years have started from a fitness level of 0. 

This is the most frequently asked question by females. Our CrossFit health & fitness programme is designed and tailored to females' muscle fibre types to ensure a lean and toned look. On entry to our gym, we will discuss and map out your goals in order to make sure the programme you are doing in the gym fits the body shape that you want. Most of the females you see on instagram or at the CrossFit games train 4-5 x per day and strive to achieve the physique they have to compete at the highest level in the world.

We require all new members to meet with the head coach to discuss their goals and abilities before joining Solas. Following this meeting, if you still feel you want to try a class and the coach feels you have the physical ability, we'd be happy to arrange.
