With Jim Baker, Co-Owner and Trainer at CrossFit Santa Cruz Central
LIMITED to 20 people.
Jim Baker Presents:
The Art of Training the Beginner and Non-Competitive Older Adult
A key component of CrossFit's amazing success worldwide is that the concepts can be applied, and adapted to any age and ability level. As an older generation experiences CrossFit, instructors are recognizing the magnitude of this untapped resource. The challenge becomes how to recruit, effectively program, and retain those clients. In this workshop, we will explore the physical and psychological responses to these questions. The format will be a combination of lecture and small group break-outs.
