To encourage more clients to try out its new fitness center in Mies, CrossFit Terre Sainte has created a special five-class strength and conditioning program for knowitall.ch readers.
Priced at just Fr. 110.-, the package represents a savings of Fr. 25.- on the standard retail price, and has been developed specially for knowitall.ch readers keen to try out a new technique for improving their fitness level.
CrossFit Terre Saint is an official affiliate of CrossFit, which first launched in California 12 years ago. Describing the program to knowitall.ch, co-owner Gretchen Reeves, told us, “CrossFit is a broad and inclusive general strength and conditioning program that focuses on constantly varied, high intensity, functional movement. The workouts are taught in a sociable class setting, change every day and are scaled for each individual's ability and intensity. So whatever the focus for the day, whether cardio and strength, coordination and agility, gymnastics skills and weight lifting, or flexibility and power, our classes always have a personal feel to them.”
Following its initial launch last May, when the business first operated out of a garage, CrossFit Terre Sainte moved to temporary premises in September, and has just relocated to their permanent space at the Mies train stop, ideal for its central location. Gretchen and her partners have created a CrossFit for the Terre Sainte region that is client-focused, helping individuals achieve their personal fitness goals both in and out of the gym.
She explained, “We concentrate on improving everyone's fitness level so they can enhance their fun life activities such as running, skiing, hiking, cycling, playing with their kids. We participate in CrossFit competitions, but also in community-wide events such as the ESCA Dragon Boat races and the Escalade. All of our coaches love CrossFit and what it can do for personal health and fitness. And our business is aimed at sharing and spreading that affinity.”
Of the 40+ affiliates in Switzerland, CrossFit Terre Sainte is the only female-run affiliate. Although CrossFit started as a male-dominated sport, it has radically improved women's fitness, too, so interest in the program is growing rapidly amongst women. Gretchen told us, “We believe that our gym is cleaner, more organised, better run and more personal for the very reason that we are a group of strong women offering this service. That said, we have male coaches and we cater to men, women, teens and children equally.”
She added, “Our philosophy is to focus on the clients, to provide great coaching, and to concentrate on technique before adding intensity so we can elevate general fitness levels. This is true for adults as well as the Kids and Teens who attend our special 45 minute classes, which run after school between 16h30 and 18h15."
CrossFit Terre Sainte offers thirty-five classes a week, starting as early as 6h00 in the morning and finishing at 20h30. During the week, there are morning classes at 6h00, 8h30, 9h30 and 10h30. In addition to two lunch classes at 12h00, there are evening classes at 18:30 and 19:30 during the week. There are also sessions on Sundays at 9h00 and 10h00.
