Listen, Watch, Learn and Act

Getting my Crossfit Certification was a big deal to me. As soon as I moved to Austin it was my #1 goal that I wanted to achieve. I had the time of my life. This experience is one that I will remember forever. I don't speak alone when I say that there was a wealth of knowledge to obtain from all that were involved with this certification happening. Anytime you have to sign up at least 2 months ahead of time to insure that you can attend something, then you can bet your sweet marbles it is gonna be worth it. I was one of 30 to have the privelage to be involved with this certification as a student. All you guys and ladies i met there, it was a blast. Thanks also to the 30 volenteer trainers and coaches that were also around to guide and help out with the event. (Pic - USA weightlifting coach Mike Bergener giving us a glorious Saturday morning wake up call with a brief on the O-lifts. Burpees were also in order. I will alway listen when you speak coach.)

My CrossFit Certification

When I first began to incorporate Crossfit workouts into my regimen in April of 2006, I didn't realize the impact that it was going to have on my physical health. Coming from an athletic background and going through somewhat of a Bodybuilding phase of training I accumalated an emmence amount of wear and tear and a pre-existing knee injury. After a total of 3 knee surgeries Crossfit couldn't have been a bigger blessing for me as far and discovery a way to achieve such a high level of fitness without further damaging my knee. I quickly was and continue to be sold that there is no better program out there for any individual of any fitness level with any physical alement. I have learned so much from Crossfit via there websight and the online journals that they graciously publish but to be able to sit infront of the man whom came up with the concept was a true honor. Coach Glassman is now a true inspiration to me in my pursuit of a successful career in coaching and training. I always thought that this was a career choice that i would never grow passionate toward, but with the methods and ideaologies that he has that he has come up with, my vision has shifted and I can no longer imagine doing anything else in life as to impact others as he impacted me. Thank you coach Glassman for all that you've put in to develope this revolution named "CrossFit"

If you are seeking a challenging program and enjoy the comradarie that comes along with a group fitness program, this is exactly what you should look at gettting involved with. Crossfit Central's bootcamps have just been recognized as one of the top 3 bootcamps by the Clif Bar Best of Texas 2006. I would like to take the time to say Congratulations on a job well done in '06 CC and I can't wait to bring my knowledge and skills to the table to continue the dream in the 2007. I'm having a blast being involved with Crossfit Central and and am exstatic about becoming an official member of the team. Thanks Zach Thiel for the killer workout. It was just what i needed.
