When I began Crossfit I was apprehensive - my fitness level was at an all time low, and I was concerned that I might aggravate past injuries. Despite being a member of a variety of gyms over the years, I had never achieved noticeable physical results. Instead, I often found gym workouts to be monotonous, and had injured myself during workouts due to repetition or poor form. By contrast, I have found the Crossfit workouts to be challenging, varied, and adaptable to my fitness level. The Crossfit workouts challenge me far beyond anything that I could accomplish on my own. During each workout, Coach Adam instructs, motivates, and ensures that proper form is maintained in order to avoid injury. I'm not the youngest, the strongest, or the fittest in the class, but that doesn't matter as the workouts are flexible enough to allow me to push myself to new levels, while working at my own pace. The result for me has been increased strength, endurance, and significant weight loss!! At this stage in my life maintaining good health is a priority, so I'm thrilled to have found a fitness program that not only works for me now, but will continue to work for me in the future.

* Practice and train major lifts: Deadlift, clean, squat, presses, C&J, and snatch. Similarly, master the basics of gymnastics: pull-ups, dips, rope climb, push-ups, sit-ups, presses to handstand, pirouettes, flips, splits, and holds. Bike, run, swim, row, etc, hard and fast.
* Five or six days per week mix these elements in as many combinations and patterns as creativity will allow. Routine is the enemy. Keep workouts short and intense.
* Regularly learn and play new sports.
