Making Your CrossFit Class a Habit: Tips for Consistency and the Benefits of Attending 3+ Times a Week

Building a consistent habit of attending CrossFit classes can be transformative for your fitness journey and overall well-being. At CrossFit Lift Haus, we believe in the power of routine to forge strength and build community. Here’s how you can turn your CrossFit class into a regular part of your life and why attending at least three times a week can make all the difference.

Tips for Making CrossFit a Habit:

1. Schedule It Like an Appointment: Treat your CrossFit class as a non-negotiable part of your day. Pick a day each week to add it to your calendar and plan your weekly schedule around it.

2. Find Your Why: Whether it’s improving your health, building strength, or living a long and active life for your family, identify the deeper reason you’re showing up.

3. Set a Goal: Having a specific goal, like mastering a pull-up or being able to hike a certain distance on a vacation, can keep you motivated and focused. This goal does not have to be be gym-related.

4. Start Small and Build Up: If you’re new, commit to two classes a week and gradually increase. Progress at a sustainable pace to avoid burnout.

5. Lean on the Community: One of the best parts of CrossFit is the camaraderie. Share your goals, celebrate wins, and let the community hold you accountable. At CrossFit Lift Haus we have gym ambassadors to help walk you through those first few workouts.

6. Prepare Ahead: Pack your gym bag the night before, lay out your workout clothes, pack a pre and post-workout snack and your hydration to ensure you are ready first thing in the morning or after work.

7. Track Your Progress: CrossFit is a measurable form of fitness. Keep a journal or use an app to log your workouts. Seeing tangible improvements can be incredibly motivating.

Why Attend 3 or More Classes a Week?

CrossFit follows a charter. Consistency is only one key component when it comes to seeing results. Here’s why attending at least three CrossFit classes a week is a game-changer:

1. Faster Progression: Regular attendance allows you to build on skills, improve strength, and enhance endurance more quickly.

2. Increased Accountability: The more often you’re in the gym, the more connected you’ll feel to the community, making it harder to skip a session. CrossFit Lift Haus offers class milestone incentives and a Committed Club program.

3. Improved Fitness Levels: CrossFit’s constantly varied programming targets multiple fitness domains. Attending three or more times ensures you’re getting a well-rounded workout.

4. Enhanced Mental Health: Exercise is a proven stress reliever. Regular classes can boost your mood, improve focus, and provide a sense of accomplishment.

5. Better Habit Formation: Habits are easier to form when practiced frequently. Three classes a week is a solid rhythm that can quickly become second nature. Building that habit makes it easier when you don't feel "motivated".

6. Greater Sense of Community: More face time with fellow members and coaches means stronger relationships, more support, and a greater sense of belonging.
