Physical Assessments

By Tania Tetrault Vrga

CrossFit Winnipeg would like to congratulate and thank all of our coaching staff on their continued professional development and their keen interest in learning new coaching skills and methods.

Congratulations in particular to Coaches Brad and Rich on their recent Assessment certification through the OPT Coaching Certification Program.  When Brad and Rich approached me with the intention of attending this certification, I was thrilled.  Having done this certification program back in 2010, I knew that it had tremendous value. We already use the concepts learned in this certification to design our progressions and to help clients determine the best training options to suit their situation and now we are happy to have Brad and Rich gain additional knowledge and experience in this area.

In order to complete the certification Brad and Rich will need to do some client assessments as practical homework and they may approach you as they will need some volunteers to help out with their practical assignments.  This would involve some postural assessments, functional movement screening and bodyfat skinfold measurements.  Keep in mind they will be doing this at no charge, as they are just starting out with these techniques. The usual rate for a full physical assessment with bodyfat measurment at CrossFit Winnipeg is $100 to $150 so this is a great deal!

If you would like to volunteer, please speak with Rich or Brad.
