Answering your first contact

Is STARLING PERFORMANCE a place for regular people to do training or just athletes?

STARLING PERFORMANCE is designed for everyone, not just athletes. Our facilities and programs cater to individuals of all fitness levels, from beginners to seasoned athletes. We offer personalized training, recovery services, and nutrition guidance to help each person reach their unique fitness goals. Whether you’re looking to improve general fitness, build strength, or enhance athletic performance, we provide a supportive environment tailored to your needs.

Can people over 50 start training from scratch?

Yes, people over 50 can definitely start training from scratch, and we are well-equipped to support this. Using the CrossFit methodology, we tailor workouts to each individual’s fitness level and abilities. CrossFit’s scalable approach means that exercises and intensity can be adjusted to ensure safety and effectiveness for adults. Our experienced coaches design programs that focus on improving strength, mobility, and overall fitness while minimizing injury risk. We provide a welcoming environment where people of all ages, including those over 50, can start their fitness journey and achieve their personal goals.

How old should my children start training with weights? Is that safe?

Children can safely start training with weights around the age of 7 or 8, provided they have proper supervision and guidance. Research shows that strength training, when done correctly, can be safe and beneficial for kids. It helps improve their motor skills, enhance bone density, and reduce the risk of injuries in sports.

The key is to focus on technique, not heavy lifting. Starting with light weights or even just bodyweight exercises ensures that children develop proper form and build a foundation for future strength gains. Programs like The Brand X Method™, which STARLING PERFORMANCE uses, emphasize age-appropriate, scalable workouts that prioritize safety and physical literacy, making weight training a positive experience for kids and teens.

What is the best way to get fit, CrossFit or a regular gym?

At STARLING PERFORMANCE, we believe that both functional training/CrossFit and traditional gym workouts have their benefits, but our approach integrates the strengths of both.

Functional Training/CrossFit: Our programs are designed to offer varied, high-intensity workouts that enhance overall fitness through functional movements. This approach improves strength, endurance, and agility while also providing a strong community atmosphere and support. CrossFit’s scalable nature ensures that workouts can be tailored to all fitness levels, making it an excellent choice for those looking to achieve comprehensive fitness goals.

Traditional Gym Workouts: While we focus on functional training, we also understand the value of traditional gym equipment. Our facilities are equipped with the latest CrossFit gear and technology, allowing for a blend of traditional and functional training elements. This combination helps us offer a well-rounded fitness experience that caters to diverse needs and preferences.

Our holistic approach ensures you get the benefits of both functional training and traditional gym workouts, tailored to your individual goals and fitness level.

How is Starling Performance different than a normal Gym?

Starling Performance and CrossFit stands out from traditional gyms with its strong community atmosphere and personalized coaching. Members work out together in supportive group settings, fostering camaraderie and motivation. Certified coaches lead every session, providing guidance, ensuring proper technique, and tailoring workouts to fit all fitness levels, offering a more hands-on and communal experience than a typical gym.

Can anyone do CrossFit?

Yes, anyone can do CrossFit! CrossFit is designed to be scalable, meaning the workouts can be adjusted to suit all fitness levels, from beginners to elite athletes. Whether you’re new to exercise or have years of experience, CrossFit offers a variety of movements and workouts that can be tailored to your individual abilities and goals. The emphasis is on functional movements that improve overall fitness, strength, and endurance, making it accessible to people of all ages and fitness backgrounds.

What is The BrandX Method, and Why does STARLING PERFORMANCE use their programing to do training with kids and teens?

The Brand X Method™ is a specialized strength-and-conditioning program designed specifically for kids and teens. It addresses the growing public health concerns of sedentary lifestyles and early sports specialization by focusing on motor pattern training and physical literacy. This program helps improve fitness, athleticism, and overall well-being, while also reducing the risk of injuries and combating childhood obesity.

We use The Brand X Method™ because it provides a proven, adaptable framework for training youth in any environment. By incorporating this program, we ensure that kids and teens develop the mastery, confidence, and motivation needed to engage fearlessly with the world and tackle life’s challenges with resilience.
