Load it Up!




Crossfit Central has been built with an attempt to stay loyal to the needs of our clients. As coaches we have aimed to provide to your needs as we've grown. We didn't want to do to much to fast and I feel like that has allowed us to maintain stronger working relationships with you all as clients.

Starting a Barbell program has been something that I have thought about doing for about a year and a half now. I wasn't ready to do it for the sake of allowing enough of you to built a general base of well rounded fitness first. I also felt the need to hold off so that I myself could be ready to take on the responsibility to focus this very specific type of program will demand.

Crossfit is a training program that demands much out of all 10 of the physical skills of human performance. It is also a program who's best athletes have a tremendous amount of strength and power to compliment their endurance and speed.
Over the last 6 months I have watched almost all of our coaches make major improvements in their overall fitness by increasing strength. Every single one of our clients needs more out of this realm as well.

This has led me to decide that the time to do a Barbell Class is now! This program will be a specially Program and limited to only a few people. All who do it will receive the best instruction to improve on these movements and set up on a program (Additional Workouts included) which will lead them all to a destination of improved
Strength, Power, Coordination, Balance, Agility, and Accuracy.

Tuesday, March 17th will be the kick off date. I will hold 2 classes (7am and 6:15pm)
which will be an hour long. The Program will be 6 weeks in length. There will be a Limit of 8 people per group. Olympic and Strength Movements will all be focused on.

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.
