| I met a young woman yesterday who told me that her friend just started doing Crossfit in VB and he is totally hooked. Michael D. happened to be in the same conversation and did not seem surprised in the least, probably because he too is totally hooked on CrossFit himself. It seems like people either love this stuff or they hate it. Well, actually many of us love it and hate it, but we're hooked none the less. Why is that? One reason people get so into CrossFit is because of the way it makes you feel - outside the gym. It makes you feel like you can do anything. It teaches you how to not give up, to keep pushing through the agony until you finish what you started. To do something you never thought you could do. If you have not experienced this feeling yet, you might think I'm crazy. Ask any Crossfitter about this and their immediate response will most likely be "he's F'in A right". A long time client and friend of mine told me last year "thanks for putting the 'don't quit' back into me - I haven't felt that way since high school". That is probably one of my favorite thank you's that I've ever received. It told me that it's not about how many pullups or 350lb deadlifts you can do, it's about being better at everything you do outside the gym. That's why we do this stuff.
BTW- I added even more new pictures on our Crossfit Cleveland Facebook Page, check them out and tag people if you know them. You don't have to have a Facebook account to view these pictures. I'm also giving our website a little makeover. Keep an eye on it during the next couple weeks and let me know what you think ---> Crossfit Cleveland website.

 Advocare products
Thanks to Jeff Koha for hosting the Advocare product mixer last weekend. Many of our members are really enjoying the new Advocare products we are carrying at the gym. My two favorites are Spark, a sugar free long-lasting energy drink and O2 Gold that claims to enhance your body's use of oxygen. The O2 Gold is unbelievably effective. I take it 30-45 minutes before every workout and I noticed a big difference from my very first try. Kate Rawlings and Wayne H. said the same thing. I have also noticed a big improvement in my overall breathing throughout the day. I have allergy-induced asthma that is aggravated during the winter months by the dust that is circulated by the furnace. Since I've been taking the O2 Gold, I no longer have problems breathing in the early morning hours. Many of the top Crossfit gyms endorse and use Advocare products. This stuff really helps, and everything comes with a 100% money-back guarantee. You can even bring back a completely empty container and tell us you didn't like it and you get your money back. That's a pretty impressive guarantee. If you are interested in learning more about their weight loss and performance enhancing products, ask one of us. You can also learn more about their products online at Staci's Advocare website

 CrossFit Gymnastic Certification Seminar in February
We're excited to be hosting a CrossFit Gymnastics Certification Seminar in February at CrossFit Cleveland. It is both for trainers and people interested in learning more about performing and teaching the gymnastic movements that we use in our workouts.
This training seminar is taught by Jeff Tucker and his crew from GSX Athletics. I've had a beer or two with Jeff and have watched him in countless videos - he's great and funny as hell. We are limiting on-line sign-ups to the first 15 people. Please check out the Crossfit Gymnastic Cert registration page for more details. Please let me know if you have any questions about this event.
We are also hosting a CrossFit Endurance Certification Seminar on the last weekend in August. I'll have more details once the registration page is online. Toby Jurging of SPC CrossFit in Hudson is also hosting a CF Endurance Cert in early June in case that better fits your schedule. |
