Veteran owned. We are the SFV's top CrossFit serving Canoga Park, Woodland Hills, West Hills, Calabasas, Chatsworth, Northridge, and Westlake Village.
What distinguishes us from many CrossFit affiliates today is that our primary goal is not Group Exercise classes. Yes, we have group classes for our experienced members – members whose baseline fitness and technical skills are sound.
Instead, at Iron Battalion CrossFit you will have a personal coach to welcome you to CrossFit basics and then our members move to group classes.
We believe what Greg Glassman, the founder of CrossFit, articulated in the CrossFit Journal article ‘What is Fitness’. He suggested that in order to gain fitness – be it fitness for life or as an elite athlete – you need to do constantly varied, functional movements at a high intensity. And nobody said mastering functional movements was easy. So while intensity is important, it’s more important to develop mechanics and consistency first.
Glassman’s concept of fitness, combined with what we have learned through trial and error over the years, tells us that people learn most effectively the higher the coach to student ratio. Ideally, most effective learning happens in a one-on-one, or at the very least a two-on-one environment.
You will start off by completing few one-on-one or two-on-one private training sessions, where you will be coached by a CrossFit certified instructor. The coaches at Iron Battalion CrossFit come from diverse athletic backgrounds and experience, but they all have one thing in common, they care.
