Questions? We (probably) have the answers!

Do you have a free trial?

Sure thing. Finding your swolmate is an important decision. If you have 3+ months of prior barbell or CrossFit training, start with a 3 day free trial. Signup can be found under our "Programs Tab".

Do I have to be "fit" to join?

No! No matter what your current fitness level is, we have the fitness program that is right for you. Every workout is designed to help you succeed, improve fitness, and move you toward your goals. Our program is designed for universal scalability, making it the perfect application for any committed individual regardless of experience.

Do you have bathrooms and showers?

We do because having to pee during a workout is really uncomfortable. Bring your own towel to use our showers; body wash, shampoo and conditioner are provided.

What does a typical workout look like?

Class always begins with a coach-led warmup, specific to our training focus for that day. Focused strength training happens after, and we always finish the hour with functional conditioning. All workouts incorporate full body movements, and we train in four-week cycles. Focused programming helps our athletes track progress and see changes in capability and body composition.

What does #MORETHANAGYM mean?

It means that our community comes first. Defined is a diverse, inclusive family that supports the people who breathe life into it. LGBTQIA fundraisers happen here. Black lives matter here. Women support women here. We celebrate 40th brithdays here. We provide athlete scholarships, employ artists, develop interns, and encourage growth. Search #MORETHANAGYM to see some of our favorite living memories.
