Move Well. Lift Heavy. Breathe Hard.
Functional Fitness means members will run, row, bike, squat, jump, climb, pull, push, and lift scaled to each individual's fitness level in infinite combinations and rep schemes.
No matter what your fitness level, it is imperative that your mobility allows you to move well technically through lifting and gymnastic movements. Warmups, drills, workouts, and cool downs will reflect this. Every member at 150 BayFit will become proficient in the snatch and clean and jerk (we'll do each of these at least once per week in class). We will squat, deadlift, and bench heavy once a week. And we will train aerobically in all 3 energy systems!

Community
150 BayFit is a community where members are more than scannable ID cards. Through hard work and physical achievement, members will experience true camaraderie in which they become a family: pushing each other and striving everyday to be better than the day before. And social events like barbecues, movie nights, karaoke, and dance parties will strengthen the bond in less sweaty settings (with the exception of the dance parties).
