HOW AM I DIFFERENT?



We will run, jump, climb, push, pull, lift, press, squat, carry, throw, and catch. We will use body weight, medicine balls, free weights, plyo boxes, jump ropes, and pull up bars. We do so using OUR ENTIRE BODY; not isolating a certain muscle group. By doing this, we properly and equally tax and exhaust every major muscle group, which in turn makes you work much harder, in turn burning more calories and increasing your heart rate more than you ever will with other methods. Remember if you can read while 'working out' you aren't working.

The workouts I will have you do, are the same workouts for everyone. They are the same workouts I do. The intensity and weight/load resistance is adapted to each individual’s current fitness levels. CrossFit requires less equipment, but requires professional expertise on my part. You will never be bored. The only time you repeat a workout is to benchmark progress.My style of training is geared for:
  1. engaging and recruiting multiple muscle groups simultaneously
  2. using intervals to exercise the body’s metabolic systems (cardio)
  3. performance in a safe, effective and timely manner

The goal is performance; not weight gain or weight loss. Frequency, round/circuit times, pounds moved, rest periods taken and intensity are all measured, observed and repeated. This information is your personal motivational tool for your next attempt when benchmark workouts are revisited. Weight and body measurements are discouraging for most and often not an accurate gauge of fitness capacity, which is why I frown on administering them.

Training takes place in small groups. (IDEALLY)
Group training offers a high level of personal attention with the addition of positive peer influence. Natural camaraderie, competition and fun of sport yield an intensity that is unparalleled and cannot be experienced in one-on-one training. You are motivated to push harder in a group dynamic. It is also less expensive.

This method fosters teamwork, camaraderie, motivation, focus, and a sense of belonging. I hope to foster a fitter, healthier person, rather than building bigger muscles and smaller waistlines. I combine strength training and cardio using a different workout every day that is both timely and effective because to routine is the enemy.

The only requirement I have is that you commit to giving me your best effort. I commit to providing safe, efficient and effective elite fitness to those who find me an attractive alternative to the mainstream workout!

I like your style Bro! Love the positive attitude and commitment to continuous support and encouragement. You should see if you can start a "group therapy" session, try to get a few more people on board. Just an idea.
