CrossFit Seabright: start with a coach
At CrossFit Seabright, you can learn the basics one-on-one with a coach during a free fundamentals session. You’ll have time to ask questions before joining a regular class.
The gym offers workouts that can be adjusted for different experience levels. Ask the coach how they would adapt a class for you and what comes after the intro.
How to book: Request your intro through the gym’s Get Started page. Arrange a time with the gym rather than arriving for a regular class.
Location: 1619 Seabright Avenue, Santa Cruz.
CrossFit Aptos: try a community class
For a group workout, CrossFit Aptos offers a free community class. Look for Visitor – Community Class when signing up.
Only the community class is included in this offer. Regular drop-ins and the Foundations of CrossFit program have separate fees.
How to book: Look for Visitor – Community Class on the pricing page, then check the schedule and registration. If you’re brand new to CrossFit, let the gym know and ask what to expect.
Location: 7960 Soquel Drive, D1, Aptos.
Before your first visit
Check the start time, what to bring, and whether you need to fill anything out ahead of time. Let the coach know you’re new.
Thinking about going back? Ask about membership prices and beginner classes, and check whether the schedule works for you.
