The Health and Fitness Industry is Dead (And that includes you, Paleo).

…. Following the advice of the mainstream health and fitness industry has left us more diseased, broken, and fatter than ever before. They’re not only not helping us, they’re killing us.

The health and fitness industry truly jumped the shark with the introduction of loud-mouthed Jillian Michaels and television shows like The Biggest Loser.

Notes about Programming

The Fitness program will consist of body weight movements combined with basic barbell lifts to provide members with a focused and thorough plan while in the gym.  Quality and safety of movements rather than intensity of the work out is emphasized.  This program will be re-designed to promote healthy and safe fitness gains for members not accustom to the higher demands of the Performance programming.   This is for members that are newer to CrossFit or for those that are trying to improve their general strength and conditioning.   This is also a great option for the older athlete looking for longevity in their programming.
