Crossfit Cleveland News - January 2, 2008

I read a funny quote the other day on the CrossFit message board, "People will do anything to lose weight...except eat right and exercise." It's sad but true. Unfortunately most people don't know how to do either one.

We show you how to get in better shape by teaching you a better way to work out. We combine functional exercises that work your muscles together, not in isolation. The workouts are scaled to your fitness level and vary every time so your body doesn't get a chance to adapt to a regular routine.

It's truly amazing how people love these workouts. Some say they like the small group training and instruction , others like the constantly varied workouts. Almost everyone agrees they can't believe how great of a workout they can get in 20 minutes or less. One of our members refers to our workouts as 'her crack', really. You'll either love what we do or hate it, but at least give it a try.


Article in Best Life

My good friend Bob A. told me about an article he read recently entitled "10 machines you must avoid" in the gym.

We happen to use #s 9 and 10, but only after proper training and supervision. I agree that you should avoid them all, and only use 9 & 10 when you know how and why to use them. We have a few members who do med ball toss GHD situps....that's something you don't see every day.

Here is a link to the article , let me know what you think.


New video in the making

Speaking of things you don't see every day, we are going to make a short video of some of our more unusual exercises and routines. If you care to be included, let me know. Who knows, you might become famous.


More pics

I put up even more pictures on our website, click here to see them. There's a shot of my daughter Katie doing a handstand on the home page. Our other Katie R. was showing off doing one the other day, but I did not have the camera handy. Sean and I will get one without using the wall sooner than later......

Holiday Gift Cards

The Holiday gift cards are all gone, but we have a fresh batch of 10-Class punchards available for $100. They're good for up to six months. We also have monthly packages available. See our Rates Page for more details. You can pay online or stop in and pay by cash or check.

This week

We're having another free Basic Training group workout this Saturday morning at 9:30am. You'll learn the basic exercises that we use in our CrossFit workouts. We'll teach you proper form and technique while we warm up, then we'll give you a workout scaled to your fitness level. We're located at 17140 Madison Avenue in Lakewood. We're on the north east corner of Mckinley and Madison, two minutes off the McKinley/I-90 exit.

If you've been to our free workouts and want something a little more challenging, you may want to check out our other classes available six days a week. We're open from 8:00am - 11:00am Saturday, M-W-F mornings 5:30am-7:00am and T-W-Th evenings 5:30pm-7:00pm. We have additional details on our website, CrossFitCleveland.com
