Coaching Trussville Since
Getting Started
Your first week, answered.
No. Every workout at CrossFit Trussville is scaled to your current fitness level, not to a standard you haven't reached yet. You start where you are. Your coach builds from there. Most people who've been with us the longest started with zero fitness background.
Your first visit is a free intro, one on one with a coach, about thirty minutes. You talk through your goals, your history, and anything you are working around. Then a tour and a short workout scaled to you. At the end your coach recommends a program and class times. No contract, no pressure. Book it at crossfittrussville.com/join.
Tell your coach at your intro. Every movement we program has a version that works around what hurts and strengthens what's left. Members have trained here through rotator cuff surgery, knee replacements, and pregnancies. The coach's job is to find your version of the workout, every day.
Start with the free intro, which is just you and a coach. If you want more one on one time before a class, personal training and skill sessions are available by appointment. When you do join a class, your coach already knows your name and your starting point, so you are introduced, not thrown in.
No. Our members include people who lost 100 pounds here, people who started after a baby, and people in their 70s. Athletic background is not a requirement. Showing up is.
Your coach will tell you at the intro, but here is the short version. CrossFit if you want barbells and a full strength and conditioning program. ReBoot if you want 45 minutes of cardio, core, and toning with dumbbells and no barbells. HYROX if endurance is your goal. Legends if you are 60 or older. Most first-timers land in ReBoot or CrossFit.
Programs
Seven under one roof.
Seven programs under one roof at 139 Railroad Street. CrossFit: strength, cardio, and functional movement, coached and scaled for every level. ReBoot: 45 minute coached classes with dumbbells, kettlebells, and bodyweight, no barbells. HYROX: dedicated endurance training, the only program of its kind in Trussville. Legends: built for adults 60 and older. Nutrition Coaching: led by Sophia Contreras, registered dietitian. Personal Training and Skill Sessions: one on one, on your schedule. CFT Kids and Youth: ages 7 to 9 and 10 to 12, in quarterly sessions.
Yes. The Hybrid membership covers any two programs starting at $199 a month, and All-In covers every program for $229 a month. Plenty of members mix CrossFit and HYROX or ReBoot and CrossFit depending on the day.
CrossFit runs Monday through Thursday at 5:00, 8:00, and 9:00 in the morning and 3:00, 4:00, 5:00, and 6:00 in the evening, with Friday dropping the 6:00. ReBoot runs Monday through Friday at 5:00, 5:45, and 9:00 in the morning, noon, 4:00, and 5:00. HYROX is Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday at 8:00am and 6:00pm plus Saturday open gym from 8 to 10am. Legends is Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 10am. Kids and Youth run in quarterly sessions on Monday and Wednesday evenings. The full grid is at crossfittrussville.com/schedule.
Every class is coached start to finish. A CrossFit class is an hour: a coach-led warm up, a strength or skill piece, the workout, and a cool down. ReBoot and Legends are 45 minutes with the same structure compressed. HYROX sessions are warm up, skill work, conditioning, and cool down. Nobody wanders the floor guessing what to do.
Yes. Members reserve classes through the WODIFY app, which also shows the day's workout ahead of time. Reserving keeps class sizes right so every athlete gets coached. Your coach will set up your WODIFY account at your intro.
HYROX
Endurance that does not stop at running.
HYROX is a global fitness race that combines 8 one kilometer runs with 8 functional workout stations: sled push, sled pull, rowing, SkiErg, burpee broad jumps, wall balls, sandbag lunges, and farmers carries. Races are held in arenas worldwide and it has grown into one of the most popular fitness competitions in the world. CFT's HYROX program trains the movements, pacing, and endurance demands of the sport. You don't have to race to join. The class delivers excellent endurance training on its own.
No. Most of our HYROX members train for the fitness and never register for a race. If you do want to race, the program prepares you for it, and we run periodic full race simulations on Saturdays so you know exactly what race day feels like before you get there.
Yes. CrossFit Trussville is the only gym in Trussville with a dedicated HYROX program and dedicated HYROX class times. Sessions run Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday at 8:00am and 6:00pm, plus programmed HYROX work during Saturday open gym from 8 to 10am.
No. HYROX is its own program with its own coaching. The movements are simple to learn: running, sleds, ergs, carries, and lunges. If you can walk briskly and push a sled, you can start. Your coach scales the distances and loads to where you are.
HYROX races offer Open and Pro divisions for individuals, with Pro using heavier station weights, plus Doubles where two people split the stations, and Relay teams of four. Every division is split by gender and age group, so there is a competitive bracket at any age and level. Your coach can help you pick the right one if you decide to race.
Membership
No contracts. Month to month since 2008.
Memberships start at $125 a month for ReBoot and $130 a month for CrossFit. Legends starts at $115, HYROX is $125 for two days a week or $165 for three, Hybrid memberships covering any two programs start at $199, and All-In is $229. Drop-ins are $30 for a single class or $75 for a five day pass. Full pricing is at crossfittrussville.com/pricing.
No. Every membership is month to month with no contract and no initiation fee, and it has been that way since 2008. People stay because they want to.
Siblings in CFT Kids and Youth receive a sibling discount. For families training together in adult programs, ask at your intro and we will find the best fit across the membership options.
Yes. Students, teachers, military, police, and firefighters all receive a discount on membership. Bring your ID or proof of service to your intro and your coach will apply it.
Every workout is logged in the WODIFY app. Your scores, your lifts, and your benchmark workouts are saved so you can see exactly how far you have come. Members who want body composition data can use the InBody scan through our nutrition program.
HSA / FSA
Your fitness may be a qualified expense.
In many cases, yes. If a licensed medical provider gives you a Letter of Medical Necessity stating that exercise is part of treating or preventing a diagnosed condition, your membership can qualify for HSA or FSA reimbursement. We provide the documentation you need. Full details and the step by step process are at crossfittrussville.com/hsa-fsa.
Often, yes. Nutrition counseling from a registered dietitian for a diagnosed condition such as obesity, diabetes, or high blood pressure is generally an eligible expense, and our nutrition program is led by Sophia Contreras, RD. Your plan administrator makes the final call, so check with them and see our HSA/FSA page for what to submit.
Programming
Written in house. Never off a template.
Our founder, Andrew Rape, has programmed every CrossFit class since 2008. Nothing is bought from a template or a subscription service. Each program at CFT has its own track written for its own athletes, and every session is audited against the prior weeks so movements and formats do not repeat.
No. The programming is built so that no exercise or movement pattern repeats within a rolling ten day window and workout formats rotate just as strictly. Mondays through Wednesdays carry the heavier work, Thursdays are lighter with mobility built in, and Fridays are always a partner workout.
Yes, when it is coached, and at CFT every class is coached start to finish. Your coach sets your loads, watches your positions, and scales any movement that does not fit you today. The approach is the same one that has carried members here through two decades of training.

Our Story
Our building burned down. Nobody left.

Yes. In May 2023 a fire destroyed our original building. Nobody left. The community kept training together through the entire rebuild.
Into a church. For 106 weeks we set up, tore down, and showed up, every class, every day, until our new home was ready. The community grew during that stretch. Read the full story at crossfittrussville.com/our-story.
