Frequently Asked Questions

How are classes run at MHCF?

Class begins with a Warm Up, this is typically written out on the main White Board in the gym. The Warm up is done at your own pace and should be completed 10-15 minutes after the start of class. At that time the Coach will call the class members together for group stretch and review of the WOD (work out of the day). This includes reviewing strength or skill work if that is part of the workout and the technique of movements and modifications if you can not perform the movements as prescribed. The class will then set up the necessary equipment for the WOD and the Coach will start class at the same time using the digital clock for timing purposes. Once the WOD is complete, clean up your equipment and perform the Cool Down which is also located on the Main White Board.

Does the class start time mean I start my Warm up or WOD?

Warm up, WOD and Cool Down are designed to fit into the hour time slot allotted for a class. Of course you are welcome to come a little early or stay later (during regular class times) and work on a skill as long as you are not interrupting the ongoing class.

What is Open Gym?

We have scheduled Open Gym times during the week and occasionally on Sundays to allow members to come in and work on skills, strength and Olympic lifting moves or make up WODs that they missed.  A Coach is presen t during Open Gyms but for the most part you should consider this individual time at the gym and come prepared with your own warm up, WOD and cool down.  Open Gym is not typically a time for new members unless coordinated in advance.

Do you have Changing Rooms?

Yes, we have a bathroom that can double as a changing room if you are coming before or after work or another event.

Do you have a Kids Area?

Yes, we know it can be hectic to get your workout in with kids so we have an area set up with a TV, DVD player and kids toys. Feel free to bring your own games, toys etc. During the warmer months we even provide side walk chalk so your kids can draw nice pictures or design hopscotch games. Do kids play hopscotch anymore? :)

Do you have a Drop In rate?

If you are visiting from another CrossFit we’d love to have you stop by, your first time is free and after that we charge $15/day. Feel free to email us to discuss weekly rates depending on your length of stay.

I am new to MHCF, what should I do to get started?

We would love to introduce you to CrossFit! Your first class at MHCF is always FREE so there is no excuse to not stop in and check us out.  Of course you can come in during any regularly scheduled class time and get started but your best bet is to get signed up for the Elements Class and learn the basics of CrossFit.  Email us at milehighcrossfit@gmail.com or call us at 720-280-0196 to set up a time to come in or if you have any questions.  If you can’t make the regular Elements Class time schedule we’ll work with your schedule to get you in.

Are there any gym rules I should know about?

Yes. Empty barbells and kettle bells were not designed to be dropped.  Please help us maintain the equipment by placing empty bars on the ground or a squat stand and lowering kettlebells to the ground when complete. Clean up and put away all of the equipment after each workout and help us keep the gym clean by wiping up your sweat, tears, vomit, etc :). Otherwise, cheer, clap, and encourage others and enjoy getting fit!
