FAQs
Is Atomic Athlete Crossfit?
No, and although our brick and mortar gyms resemble a traditional CF box, our training methodolgy couldn't be more different.
Can I do this program at home?
Absolutely. Although our facility has many items your home gym will not, the vast majority of our programming utilizes only the required pieces of equipment. Anytime we use more than that we'll provide substitutions.
How long are your programs?
4-6 weeks the majority of the time.
What are the differences I'll see program to program?
Each program in the Daily Grind includes both strength and conditioning elements. The biggest difference you will see program to program will be a change in training structure and exercises. This varied approach keeps training interesting.
Can I just jump right in?
You can, the instructions are clear enough that you can jump right in to the same training that we are doing here in Austin. Training with a team always pushes you harder!
