CrossFit vs CrossFit, My Philosophy

CrossFit vs CrossFit, My Philosophy

Posted by | Jan 30, 2018 | , , |

I’ve been involved in CrossFit for over 7 years and seen the sport of CrossFit evolve and change dramatically over that time. With it the Open has also changed. Over time there has become a VERY huge difference between CrossFit as a competitive sport, and CrossFit as a modality. If you dont know what I’m talking about, you are either within your first 2-3 years of CrossFit or you’re behind the curve. I have little interest in promoting CrossFit competitions. That mindset is not what we sell. It was a big part of my life and training for the first...

New Years New Goals

New Years New Goals

Posted by | Jan 2, 2018 | |

As we ring in the new year, everyone is focused on setting new health & fitness goals for 2018 and reflecting on their accomplishments from 2017. This is a busy time of year for gyms, as any good coach or trainer wants to meet with their clients and discuss where the new year is going to take them. For my personal training clients, my group fitness clients, as well as anyone reading this blog, I want to take this opportunity to discuss some important aspects about achieving your goals. My goal is to prevent my clients from falling into...

Proper shoes

Proper shoes

Posted by | May 14, 2017 | |

So you’ve started CrossFit or a weightlifting program and you look around the class and everyone has multiple pairs of shoes. You think, when “I get good enough I’ll get some too.” However, that though isn’t really in your best interest. It’s really important to have the proper gear but totally unnecessary to get gear just to get gear. For example, if you sign up to play soccer you would go out and buy soccer cleats right? You wouldn’t wear your bowling shoes for your soccer game, just because they’re shoes right? Similar thing with CrossFit and lifting, in...

With summer travel season coming up and many planning summer trips, it’s important to know that you can “drop in” at other CrossFit gyms to continue pursuing your fitness goals. Generally, gyms charge from $10-45 per drop in session depending on the location and reputation of the gym. It’s important to know the proper drop in etiquette and also what to look for in a gym when choosing where to visit. There are a few ways besides www.google.com to find the closest crossfit gym to where you will be traveling to.  The most common way is to use the...

CrossFit Games with Gus

CrossFit Games with Gus

Posted by | Jul 29, 2016 | , |

I had the privilege of going to Carson, CA last week as Gus Goldman’s coach in his first Reebok CrossFit Games. In the 14 months I have been coaching Gus, he has continued to impress me with his natural athletic ability. He picks everything up very quickly, works hard to master any new movement thrown his way, and is overall one of the hardest working natural athletes I’ve met. In a field of athletes who are home schooled so they can focus on their CrossFit careers, and who have been not just doing CrossFit for a number of years,...
