Something different



















Crossfit has taken presedence in the way I train and how I train a majority of my clients. This has happened because that Crossfit delivers the best overall result to improving a persons fitness quickly. Most of us want something that works and something that will keep them entertained while they are doing it. The only thing about Crossfit is that the program does not specialize in specific realms of the fitness components that we use. That means that training for a particular skill will take additional time to dial in proper mechanics for better efficiency. I have always read into and studied other areas of training and have continued to incorporate them with certain groups of people who I train. A few months back Jeremy and I began coaching programs that were specific to using Kettlebells. This tool delivers huge fitness benefits once you learn how to use it correctly.
This weekend I attended my first certification geared directly towards Kettlebell training with Jeff Martone. Although, I have spent many of hours studying Kettlebell training, the weekend actually fired me back up to get these classes filled with people who have not spent much time with them. Kettlebell training I have noticed is quite addicting once you really start swinging around for a little bit. It seems like once you get something down with them, another drill is right there to challenge you. If you have not been to a class yet, jump into one immediately I will even allow your first session of participation free of charge. You will learn more new tricks that you can do with a simple(yet interesting looking) weight that you can do in your living room or hotel room if you are traveling.
By the way, if you sign up for the class, we will be selling Kettlebells for have price to new clients. For a class that is only $100 I only can say one thing... Why wait any longer?

Email me about free class participation. Only 2 people will be allowed to attend any givin class.

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!

Crossfit is Excellence!

I've heard it said before that CrossFit isn't the first program to do Cross Training. I've also heard people say that they allready do a program that is like CrossFit.

I'm not sure that CrossFit can be defined as a Crosstraining program. I also don't know of another program that implements Olympic Weightlifting, Powerlifting, Kettlebells and Gymnastics all in one. So with that said, there is no other program like CrossFit, nor is it in anyway trying to copy any other program design that has previously exsisted. Glassman wanted to use movements and created workouts that were going to optimize human performance in every physical way possible. This is why Crossfit incorporates so many uncommon training principles and eliminates all the others that don't have as much effect. To limit CrossFit to a simplistic term to define it, one would just have to say that it is Truely Unique.

That is not what makes CrossFit the program that it is though. No single individual could ever could achieve their optimal ability through just doing the workouts alone. The thing that seperates Crossfit as the best fitness program ever is the Excellence in Coaching that goes with every single functional excercise we do. Our leaders in every community we are involved with teach us how to perform the complex movements perfectly and the simple movements even better. We squat, lunges, press, pull, jump, land, run and lift the right way everytime.

Coach Burgener from Southern Cal will not allow a barbell(PVC Pipe Only) in day one of a Oly Lifting Cert. Mark Rippetoe from Crossfit Wichita Falls refuses to allow us not to understand how to efficiently lift heavy loads off the ground or press them over our body. Jeff Martone knows what a Kettlebell looks like on the inside and Tony Blauer teaches you how to react off a flinch to save yourself from a knife attack. Coach Glassman has brought all these people together through his passion of bring the best program fitness has ever seen to light. These men not only teach, but demand perfection in the way we understand what it is we are doing.

Thanks to Coach Glassman and all these other gentleman so am I able to bring Crossfit to all those I train so that they to may be able to do things they have never done before. If I wasn't sure that these mentors are all the real deal, I would not feel comfortable out to anyone else wanting to get themselves in the best shape of their lives.
