I had never boxed before

Adam,

I would like to thank you for being my boxing coach. When I first joined, I had never boxed before. Although the workout seemed intense at the beginning, you made me feel very comfortable and allowed me to start at my own pace. I feel that class is very productive with you as a coach. Working with you helped me pinpoint my weak spots because you take the time to show individual attention to every person in the class. I am in the best shape I have ever been in and appreciate what you have done for me.

Thank you,

Carly Donn

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Adam Morden, and the rest of the team at Crossfit for their help in getting me in the best shape of my life and recommending anyone with any doubts of their potential to give them a month of your time to rid you of those doubts. When I first contacted CrossFit I had been working out in my basement as well as a local “club” for about 4 months without any satisfactory results, I knew what had to be done, I just lacked the motivation and drive to achieve my goals of passing the “York physical” (a job specific physical test required by Fire Services). Upon speaking with Adam at Crossfit I realized that with their help and the competitive nature of the workouts this test could be a breeze. From the time I put my application in till the time of my interview (aprox 5months) they were able to transform me from an obese sloth that couldn’t run 100m to save his life into a “lean” fat guy that was able to pass the physical quite readily (although the running thing still needs lots of work) and get hired on with one of the most respected fire departments in the country on my first try. I have enclosed a before and a “on my way to” after photo, I am currently on a fourteen week layoff from Crossfitting so as to avoid any possible injury that would preclude me from graduating from this program although the day following graduation I will be at the front door of the gym waiting for it to open and continuing on with my progress. I will send my true after picture once I have reached my goal of being a “lean” lean guy.

World Class Fitness in 100 Words

* Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and no sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise but not body fat.
* 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.
