The Deathproof Difference
CrossFit methodology, coached with purpose and precision. Here's what that actually looks like when you walk in the door.
A school of movement
At its core Deathproof CrossFit is a school for body position and the mechanics of how humans move. Like any gym, the goal is fitness and, through it, health. What's different is how we get you there.
Our coaching runs as a continuous process. You can step into it on any day, at any fitness level, and it leads to the same place: the best physical performance you're capable of.
Small and coached
Classes stay small, usually under a dozen athletes, so the coach can watch every rep. Each session has the same backbone: a proper warm-up, technique instruction, the workout of the day, then mobility work. All of it led by experienced, certified staff.
We've got 18 individual stations, so nobody waits on a barbell or a rower halfway through a workout.
How we train you
Graduated intensity
There's one rule that's been around since the Retaliation days: never tell a coach "I can't." Say "I can't yet." We start you easy and you'll move up faster than you think. Attitude sets the ceiling.
Train for your thing
Got a marathon time to chase, an Ironman to finish or a Spartan Race to crush? We bias your training toward it with CrossFit Endurance work, or toward fight conditioning with CrossFit Striking, while keeping your general fitness high.
Measured, every day
Every result gets written down. You'll know how your body is responding and by how much, instead of squinting in the mirror trying to guess if anything changed.
Start any week
A lot of gyms run beginner courses in fixed blocks. Miss the start and you wait a month. Our beginner track keeps rotating, so you start when you're ready and stay a beginner as long as you need.
Giving back
Cops, firefighters, EMTs and military are the people who really need to be fit enough to handle the unknown. As our contribution to Columbus, we train them at 50% off so they're better at their jobs and get home safe at night.
Beyond the box
Fitness isn't just what happens inside the gym. Members ruck together with the Deathproof MuthaRuckers GORUCK club, race endurance events, and take on our nutrition challenges as a team. Our crew won the small team division of the Lurong Living national challenge, and kept competing even after a fire took out our old building.
