Our programming comes from Mayhem Gym, built and tested at CrossFit Mayhem. Every class follows a complete plan with a warm-up, teaching progressions, scaling options, a clear intended stimulus and a cool-down, so your coach walks onto the floor prepared. Coaches also get daily coaching videos and programming insights, and the program is built with options for different ages, goals and training styles. Extra review and quality control keep the workouts clear and consistent week after week.

Burgener Strength was founded by Coach Mike Burgener, a longtime USA Weightlifting coach known for teaching the Olympic lifts, the snatch and the clean and jerk, with simple step by step progressions. Its Level 1 course focuses on how to teach and coach those lifts safely and effectively. Coach Chris is a Burgener Strength Level 1 Coach, so you build a strong, technical foundation whatever your experience level.
