The best way to track your progress is to set-up benchmark workouts, test it, and keeps note of the results. then continue following our CrossFit U1 programming, that I have the honour and privilege to provide.  a second Test week (nr 2) will be hosted in 3 months. We work towards seeing noticeable progression in your fitness levels. We will be retesting the exact same workouts in 6 months again.

1. Make sure you log your score in your SportBit app. This is the best and easiest way to clearly track your progress.

2. You can do all workouts, or just pick the one you like. Most importantly, in 6 months you will redo exactly the same workouts as you will be doing during the this test week.

3. Please approach workouts with intent, don’t be afraid to scale down if needed, give it your best, and have fun. Ask your coach for any tips and strategies.

Good luck,
