constantly evolving towards excellence through discipline, integrity, creativity and practice.
Deka Comp started with an idea
In 2016, when Michele Letendre retired from a career competing at the CrossFit Games, she knew she wanted to build something that would reflect her experience as an athlete as well as a long time coach and former Seminar Staff member.
“Our needs differ by degree, not by kind.”
- Greg Glassman, CrossFit®️ founder
It is with this simple idea that we began our mission to help gyms all over the world offer a service they can be proud of. Our programming is bold and challenging for everyone in your class from your best athlete to your most beginner. To bridge the gap, we take the time to write meticulous coaches notes, not only to help you modify appropriately but also to help you understand the concepts and the goals of each section.
