THURSDAY

The purpose of CrossFit is to increase your work capacity over broad time.  This means as you get older, you get stronger.  Essentially, we are the fountain of youth .  CrossFit is a great sport and can change someone’s life significantly, as many of you know.  However, with the hype of the games and the YouTube sensations, we find a lot of people get eager to Rx workouts.  This tends to cause problems when it comes to training.  We are trained to teach you in three phases 1) Mechanics 2) Consistency with proper Mechanics 3) Intensity with proper mechanics.  We use this to prevent injury and increase your time in the gym while still getting results.  If you try to move too fast, not only are you limiting your potential as an athlete, you are also increasing your risk of injury.  Short cuts don’t always lead you to the right path.  Just remember that form takes precedence over intensity and focus on getting it right.  Most importantly TRUST your trainer, we want you to be open with us.  Keep the goals small and attainable and work hard everyday.
