5. Where is Red Stick CrossFit located?
We are the oldest Baton Rouge CrossFit affiliate and Baton Rouge is our gym. We have a box in Mid City Baton Rouge at 3057 Government St. However, we often choose to take full advantage of the landscape Baton Rouge has to offer by bringing our workouts outdoors. This adds to the unique experience of being part of Red Stick CrossFit. Contact Red Stick CrossFit to find out where we will be next.
Note: All Saturday WOD locations will be posted on our site.
6. Can I do CrossFIt, if I am pregnant?
CrossFit is a strength and intensity based fitness program. However, during pregnancy you want to concentrate on strength and keeping your body healthy, rather than the intensity. Red Stick CrossFit services are not a substitute for professional medical advice or a medical examination. Prior to participating in any program, activity, or exercise you should seek the advice of your physician and other qualified health-care professionals. CrossFit workouts can be scaled for anyone, even the pregnant or postpartum mom. In fact, Erin delivered her second healthy baby girl in September 2010 after participating in CrossFit workouts throughout her pregnancy.
7. The WODs on the Blog look out of my league…
All of our workouts are scaleable. We have people that have had knee surgery, neck surgery, seasoned athletes, beginners, average joes, prenatal and postnatal women, etc. We will meet you where you are and take you where you never thought possible. If you are interested in a free intro session where you can get a taste of what we’re all about, please contact Red Stick CrossFit.
8. Why are you only open in the morning and in the evening?
We are only open in the morning and evening in order to leave the rest of our schedule open for Intro Sessions and personal family time. Also, since the majority of our members have jobs or are in school, our times offer them workouts before and after work/class.
9. Is Red Stick CrossFit for me?
If you read our “For Whom” section and are still asking yourself, “is this for me?”, we have only one more thing to say… a quote posted in our gym – “If you have goals to reach, a desire to work, and the heart to encourage others to do the same, you can call this home.”
