FAQ: questions before your first class
Before your first session
Will I be able to keep up?
Making even the hardest workout fit what you can do is our job, not yours - tailored, like a suit. You will be fine.
I haven't exercised in years. Is this for me?
Yes. We have people who started after many years without exercise. A coach guides you from the first session, every exercise has a lighter version, and you begin at a load and pace that suit you.
I've never trained and I'm overweight. Can I cope?
Yes, you can start. The coach scales every exercise to what you can do, classes are capped at 12 people so the coach has time to see you, and you set your own pace. If you have health concerns, talk to your doctor before starting and tell the coach.
I'm 45+. Isn't it too late?
No need to worry, it is not too late. We scale the exercises to you, not to your birth year. The coach picks the variations and the pace, and in a group of up to 12 has time to look at you. If you have health concerns, ask your doctor first.
I'm afraid of getting injured.
We start with technique, every class begins with a warm-up, and every exercise has easier variants. Movement always carries some risk, so if you have a medical condition or an injury, talk to your doctor before you start and tell your coach.
Will I be racing anyone in class?
You do not have to. Everyone trains at their own pace and with their own load, and beginners and experienced people share the same class. You log your results for yourself, to see your own progress.
What do I bring to the first session?
Comfortable clothes, clean shoes to change into, and water. Everything else is here.
Is CrossFit for me?
There is only one way to find out. Come and try it.
Do I need to prepare first?
No. Fitness is the result of training, not the entry requirement. The coach knows a version of every movement for someone doing it for the first time.
Is there parking?
Yes. Underground parking in ALTO - 1.5 h free, and you get your ticket validated at the club's reception. Rare in Miasteczko Wilanów.
Passes and booking
Do you accept sports cards?
No. The only benefits we honour here are the ones that come from training under professionals, in good conditions, in good company.
How do I book a class?
Through the eFitness app. Get it from App Store or Google Play, search for CrossFit Wilanów and book your spot. The schedule is also available in a browser. You buy and manage passes in the eFitness app, and reception can answer any questions.

How much does a pass cost?
The more often you train, the less you pay per class. With OPEN and 3 classes a week it's about PLN 40 per class. You'll find the full price list in the eFitness app when you sign up, and we'll help you pick the best option after your first class. If you decide on OPEN on the day of your first class, we deduct the cost of that class. Tell reception after class that you are staying. We take the cost of that class off your first OPEN instalment, and the pass starts on the day of your first class. The deduction applies to OPEN, not to the 4-class pass. OPEN is sold only with recurring payment (a card connected in the eFitness app).

Does OPEN have a minimum term?
Yes. New OPEN contracts have a minimum of 12 weeks, which is 3 billing periods of 4 weeks. If you give notice in the first 8 weeks, the contract ends after week 12. After that, the contract ends at the end of the billing period following the one in which we received your notice. Send notice by e-mail to info@crossfitwilanow.pl. During those 12 weeks you get a welcome pack and a dedicated coach, we set your goal, and you have 3 consultations with a body-composition scan. OPEN is sold only with recurring payment (a card connected in the eFitness app). Current members keep their rates and terms.
What if I do not use all my classes?
The validity of the 4-class pass and of a single class is never extended. Unused classes can be added to the next 4-class pass if you buy it before the previous one expires. Just e-mail info@crossfitwilanow.pl.
Training
What is a WOD?
Workout of the Day - the same session for the whole group. The coach sets loads and movement variations for each person.
Where do I log my results?
In SugarWOD, if you want to. Look for CrossFit Wilanów; reception has the club password.
Are classes in English?
Yes. If someone in the class does not speak Polish, we run it in English.
Personal training and groups
Can I start with personal training?
Yes, it is a good way to ease in. You start with a free phone consultation (a talk, not a training), then train one-to-one or as a pair with one coach. When you are ready you can join the group classes. We choose the format and package together in that talk.
Can a company or a team book the club?
Yes. The club can be hired exclusively: a coach, care and the whole box just for your group. It works for companies (team-building or regular training), private schools (PE lessons), sports clubs and groups of friends. Call or message Łukasz.
