Defined Training Groups

Training Groups

CrossFit is the heart of all our training but sometimes we like to put a little more focus on a particular element of CrossFit.  Barbell strength training, gymnastics, running, rowing, Weightlifting, competition, Powerlifting and speed training are just a small part of what we do at Defined but as we grow some of our coaches take a personal hold on certain movements and/or modalities.

If you are interested in developing a specific area of your training, please join one of these groups and contact the associated coach below.

Coach Noal (noal@crossfitdefined.com)

WeightLifting

Clean, Jerk, Snatch and associated training lifts.  We have a dedicated barbell group/club that also competes in USAW sanctioned events.  Weightlifting (or Olympic Lifting) is an incredible sport.  You do not need any experience to join the group, you just the desire to work hard and improve.

The best coaches and teammates
in Chicago. Hands down. This place has changed
my life.

F. Almeda, joined in 2016

Good morning Coach, I just did a workout at a CrossFit gym here in DC and I want to tell you how much I appreciate the team at Defined. You guys "spoil us" with not only amazing equipment but also amazing coaches who know how to bring the best out of us.

Eurenice Houndjahoue, 2019

I could go on...If you're on the fence about spending a significant chunk of change every month, think of it as one of the best investments in yourself you can make - physically, mentally, and socially. It doesn't matter if you've had trouble going to the gym regularly in the past or you've been a competitive athlete, this place is for you. Seriously. Do it.

Valerie K., 2019

From day one, everyone has gone out of their way to learn my name and relate. It really is an awesome community. I imagine CFD is CrossFit the way CrossFit was always meant to be - gritty (no mirrors - sorry, no selfies), casual, warm, and effective.
