CrossFit Basics for Beginners - CrossFit 101 with Zac Courtier

CrossFit 101 with Zac Courtier

Today I’m talking with Zac Courtier about the basics of CrossFit. Zac is the manager of Bark River CrossFit inside BeFitness in Delafield, WI. Zac is a great resource to learn more about CrossFit, as he has experience as an every day CrossFit athlete, a CrossFit competitor, a CrossFit coach, and now the manager of a CrossFit box.

Specifically, Zac and I discuss:

• How he initially got involved in CrossFit
• What he’s learned as a CrossFit athlete and coach
• Why do people get involved with and stick with CrossFit
• His experience with the CrossFit Culture
• The difference between the CrossFit Games and your every day CrossFit box
• How beginners can get started with CrossFit
• Tackling the myth that CrossFit causes injuries
• What he’s learned through his own training
• His upcoming fitness goals

Zac is an awesome guy and great coach that can move some serious weight, and even grow a killer mullet. I really enjoyed this conversation and I learned a lot about CrossFit with Zac. Even if you aren’t interested in CrossFit, most of the advice that Zac shares is relevant to anyone that is training to achieve a specific performance or wellness goal.
