How to start CrossFit when you're busy with work and kids

You don’t need hours of free time to get stronger. You need one hour, two or three times a week. That’s it.

The math

Three classes of 60 minutes is 3 of the 168 hours in your week. Less than 2%. In return: more energy for the other 98%.

How busy parents make it work here

  • 06:00 and 07:00 classes, done before the kids wake up
  • Lunch classes at 12:00, back at your desk by 13:15
  • Evening classes until 21:00, after bedtime stories
  • Book your week every Sunday, treat classes like meetings

The class is one hour, warm-up to high five. No planning your own workout, no wandering between machines. Walk in, follow the coach, walk out done.

You will never find time. You can only claim it. One hour is enough.
