CrossFit Classes in Los Angeles, CA

CrossFit at Nela is a coach‑led strength and conditioning program built on constantly varied, functional movements performed at relative intensity. Classes blend skill practice, progressive strength work, and targeted conditioning—scaled to each person’s ability. The methodology develops real‑world capacity (strength, endurance, mobility, coordination, and balance), making it effective for teens through seniors. Every workout is adjustable for experience, injuries, and goals, so beginners and advanced athletes can train side‑by‑side and progress safely and consistently

Yes—and every new client starts with our Beginner Series (small group or 1‑on‑1) before joining regular classes. In this short on‑ramp we teach mechanics → consistency → intensity, establish movement standards and regressions, complete a brief assessment, and set your personalized scaling. We cap volume for newer athletes and build a coach handoff so you enter classes confident and ready to progress.

We’re an education‑first gym. Our priority is teaching you how to move—safely, efficiently, and confidently—so results aren’t a mystery. You’ll start with the Beginner Series, then train in small classes with clear standards, cues, and deliberate practice. We track skills and strength, personalize progressions, and explain the “why” so the outcomes you care about (fat loss, muscle gain, energy, confidence) arrive faster and more sustainably.

Most members train 3–5 days/week. We suggest a “3 hard / 2 easy” rhythm, guided by recovery signals and scheduling.

Improved strength, conditioning, and body composition; better energy and confidence from consistent, coached training.

We scale movements and loads. Coaches select joint-friendly variations, set rep/load targets, and adjust range/tempo so you can train safely and progress.

Warm‑up & prep → skill/strength block → conditioning → cool‑down. You’ll get coaching cues and progressions in every block.

No. We meet you where you are and build from success—not exhaustion.

We scale more than just weight—we scale time and intensity. Every workout includes a target finish‑time range (e.g., 10–14 min) and a hard time cap. Routinely hitting the cap means you’re missing the intended stimulus and edging into overtraining. Coaches adjust reps, load, movement options, pacing, and work/rest so you land in range and progress progressively. We also vary intensity and schedule deloads.

Beginner Series: starts the first Monday of each month (shift if holiday), Mon/Wed for two weeks at 7:30 PM. Prefer faster/on‑your‑time? Choose the 1‑on‑1 Beginner Series. Want an even more guided path? Consider Small Group Training (12‑week progression, ≤5 people).
