The Journey

I saw this picture and it really caused me to reflect on the past year. The Gym has been open now for a little over a year. Before that time, I had never trained adults. Every single program that I had ever coached was with kids between the ages of 12 and 18. I never even had the idea that my lifestyle of strength and conditioning would ever evolve into what it has now become. CrossFit Central has been an amazing trip for me. In the beginning I was scared to death of the transition into adult training. I didn't realize the need for a program that was so diverse and so complex in the fitness community. I didn't think that men and women really cared enough to put themselves through such a challenge on a daily basis. Most of all, I thought that I couldn't demand from an adult client the amount of perfection that I like to see in a client to do things the way they need to be done. I didn't believe in myself.
Since that time, I've changed. I realize that what we are doing is what we need to be doing and in large part what everybody outside of what we do need as well. I have started to see my hobby turn into my mission. I don't believe that there is anything more important to every single person than there physical well being. Everybody around us is affected by our health. I choose to stay strong, healthy and energized to encourage you wherever you are and with whatever you do to do the same!
This is a journey that has only just begun for me. I've worked to get more inspired and we have recently outgrown one gym and are eagerly awaiting to take a shot and filling up another!

The Scene
 
What It Is
 
The Demo
 
Get Some!
 

This weekend I attended the CrossFit certification in Alvin, TX. I wasn't really sure why Alvin was the place CF decided to host the cert, but it turned out to be another awesome experience. I have decided that it is time to get back out to California for a cert so that will be my next venture. The more I go to these things, the smarter I get and the better trainer I become. Rest assured guys, if you are training with me now, you are much better off than you would have been if you were training with me 3 months ago. Acceleration to the never ending destination. That is where I'm going full speed ahead!

The Test... The Workout!



More Like it!

A few weeks ago I posted a pic with no woman with the group of guys in the evening classes. The women responded and the race is on! The Sparta 300 Challenge starts end week. I'd like to know who will step up and make the biggest increases. Men? Women? Who's in?

Sparta 300 Challenge!
