In CrossFit we follow an evidence based approach to fitness, the programming works and you get fitter and healhtier or it doesn’t. Very simple. Your coaches are doing the workouts too and as we experience what works well and what doesn’t so are you on your fitness journey. We are monitoring SugarWOD data and receiving feed back from the coaches. This implies that our box program is constantly evolving.
Read MoreWhat we mean by aerobic base is the sum of total cardiovascular adoptations gained by working out at moderately pace (70%) for a longer period of time.
Read MoreYour coaches are here to help and modify the WOD or write you a complete new program if you have an injury (and still safe to workout). So don't stop training but instead use the attached form to have Coach Mel, Isk or Agnes make you a tailored program.

Read MoreIf so then Crossfit Chalkbox would like to introduce all our members to ChalkFlex. A class that will help you get more limber, achieve better results in the box and feel better outside the gym.
Read MoreThe goal of ChalkFit is to develop your conditioning, build a strong aerobic base (crucial to CrossFit and other sports) as well as building your anaerobic capacity, thus improving your endurance and stamina.
Read MoreMEET COACH ALAN
I’ve learnt from some of the very best strength and conditioning coaches in the world. I’ve coached weightlifting for about 5 years and I’m very familiar with the Russian and Chinese philosophies.
Ian started training at ChalkBox about 2.5 months ago. This is what he got to say: “I would recommend ChalkBox to anyone who wants to get fit in a great environment. My confidence has changed since I have been at the box. I do not worry about the Wod’s as I know that I will be able to do them or a scaled version.”
Read MoreWe have found some available slots for open gym, however the class always have priority on equipment, space needed etc so we just ask that you respect that.
ChalkBox was established in April 2014 our love for CrossFit started in the garage and soon Coach Agnes wanted to share her passion with others and she is still going after it!

Read MoreEveryone has a goal in mind that they are working towards. In order to reach it, a lot of people will plan ahead for it. Still though a lot of people will fail and simply not reach what they are trying to achieve. The separating factor between those successful and those not, is simply called consistency. This is what you are consistently doing day in and day out. This consistency needs to be applied across three important in crossfit - Nutrition, Recovery and Training.
Read MoreThe program will provide you with the movement competency, structural strength and integrity that will allow you to handle more advanced movement patterns. More importantly the extra strength work will keep your body balanced and injury free.
There is separate programming for those involved in ChalkLift, and it meets various times during the week. Sarah said the main benefit is the value of knowing how to do the lifts correctly. “(Members) just have a greater heightened sense of awareness of the lifts and a greater appreciation for how challenging they are,” she said.

We have added back Rowing workouts in SugarWod. You can do these workouts whenever you want. Enjoy.
Read More1. Passive Hanging - relaxed, deactivated, targets more of the passive structural integrity components than the more 'muscular heavy' hangs. It is where more often than not we will start with a beginner. (certain issues with shoulder health and integrity might require we start with active hangs for example)
2. Active Hanging - selective activation of the pattern, engaging musculature and minimizing the demands on passive structural integrity while maximizing the active-component demand and adaptation. Active hangs are a type of strength work. More specifically - Straight Arm Scapular Strength.
Read MoreWe will be adding new sessions, more classes and new memberships. As always the focus will be on supporting our members in their fitness journey and giving them a great experience in every session.
Read MoreWe are excited to announce that as of NOW we have open gym from 7am -12pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays
