Coach
Kevin McCarthy

At Ginger Ninja Programming, our aim is to provide the highest level of fitness in the least amount of time. This program uses CrossFit methodology and is perfect for busy individuals, or parents who don't want to compromise on their fitness or family time.

The base for this program is a 3 on - 1 off model for training and rest days, however, if this doesn't work for your schedule, perform the training sessions when they best work for you! Regardless of how you structure your week, there will always be 5 training pieces per 7 days for you to complete.

For each training day, there will be a 60 minutes or less option, as well as an option that can be completed in ~30 minutes give or take a couple minutes. Again, we want to help you get fit, without having to spend forever in the gym.

We also offer a 7 day free trial so you can try us for a week and see what we're all about! If we aren't for you, no harm no foul. But we think once you dive in, you'll realize the benefit to the "less is more" approach and find yourself not only feeling fitter, but recovering better while also having more time for life outside the gym!
