CrossFit RX Programming: Structuring a 16-Week Training Plan

Ready to take your functional fitness programming to the next level and design training plans that deliver consistent athletic progress? Structuring a long-term periodization plan requires balancing strength, metabolic conditioning, and gymnastics skills without causing burnout. This text-based course guides you through the foundational principles of functional fitness programming, teaching you how to design a balanced 16-week RX-level training plan. You will understand how to structure daily workouts, manage training volume, and apply modern recovery concepts to keep athletes performing at their peak. What you'll learn: - Understand the core principles of periodization and energy system development for functional fitness. - Design a structured 16-week training progression that balances strength, skill work, and conditioning. - Structure daily training sessions from warm-up and mobility to strength blocks and metabolic conditioning. - Apply modern auto-regulation and RPE (Rate of Perceived Exertion) concepts to functional workouts. - Scale workouts effectively to transition athletes from scaled to RX-level movements safely. - Plan recovery protocols and de-load weeks to prevent overtraining and ensure continuous progress. You will start by learning key terminology, energy pathways, and the foundational science of periodization. From there, you will read through step-by-step programming examples, exploring how to build weekly blocks and structure a complete 16-week athletic progression. This course is designed for fitness coaches, personal trainers, and functional fitness enthusiasts who want to learn the art of structured programming. No prior programming experience is required.
