On Ramp Classes @ TITANFIT

TITANFIT is beginning On Ramp classes as a way to introduce new clients to the CrossFit protocol.  These classes, led by Trainers such as myself, are geared to give new clients a broad overview of CrossFit and an introduction to some of the more common CrossFit movements and the standards of those movements.

The On Ramp classes will be a series of three sessions with a TITANFIT Trainer at a time convenient for us both.  Each session should last approximately and hour and ideally all three of these sessions should take place within 7 – 10 days.  Each session will consist of the following:

1. A general overview of the CrossFit method.
2. An explanation on form and technique of the common CrossFit movements.
3. Hands-on training of the common CrossFit movements
4. Discussion on scaling these movements to the ability of any individual
5. Technique vs. Intensity
6. And finally, we’ll finish with a short workout after each session that utilizes the movements you’ve just learned

After these three sessions, we will introduce you into our class structure at TITANFIT.  At this point you will be familiar with a majority of the movements, and both you and your Trainer will know your limitations and which movements need to be scaled as you’re introduced to the CrossFit method.

And I have one favor of each of you that complete our new On Ramp program, and also to those that follow this blog.  Please provide me feedback!  I’m interested in hearing from clients both during and after the program, and from current CrossFitters as to what has worked for them with an On Ramp-type program.

If you’re intrigued by the CrossFit protocol and interested in training at TITANFIT, please contact me for pricing and to schedule your On Ramp session.  My contact information is listed on the BIO tab at the top of this page in the Navigation Bar.  I look forward to hearing from you!

The Open House was a Success!

Today was the TITANFIT Open House at the new box.  And it was a success on many fronts.

Thank you for coming out and congratulations to all of those who got in a workout.  Hopefully this gave you enough exposure to see what we do here at TITANFIT and how we do it.  We made a conscious effort to show how we can scale our CrossFit workouts,  demonstrate our small group training atmosphere, and showcase the sense of community we have at our box.  It is like that every single day at TITANFIT,. We care about our clients, and if you’re willing to put forth the effort, we’ll BOTH achieve our goals!   In addition, the members that we have exude the true sense of the word community, and we as trainers look to foster that environment for the benefit of everyone.

Welcome

Welcome to my new blog.  As our gym, TITANFIT, has recently relocated I thought this would be a good time to make a couple of changes myself.

Firstly, I’m creating a new blog to track my training and other CrossFit related material.  In the future I might create other pages and elements as the need arises and my time permits.  If you have a topic or suggestion feel free to email me.

Secondly I am wiping my slate clean regarding my WOD PR’s as of today.  The new gym location (by virtue of the environment) and a codified training philosophy (by virtue of necessity) will have a dramatic impact on the CrossFit workouts that we perform.  The competition amongst the members will only add fuel to the fire.  All PR’s will now be set in the new environment, under the watchful eye of certified Staff, with the new team.  GET READY FOR THE JOURNEY OF THE TITANFIT CREW.  For those of you that are interested, you can check out the “garage days” on my old blog here.

And lastly, a name change.  The blog will no longer be called “The TitanFit Experiment”.  Rather, I’ve named it “CONSTANTLY VARIED”.  Allow me to briefly explain the reasoning.  Everyone knows the CrossFit mantra of “constantly varied, functional movements, executed at high intensity”.  That phrase is Godspeed.  But beyond the “functional movements” and “high intensity”, I value “constantly varied” the most.  Why?  Because that’s what keeps me coming back.  I’ll elaborate more on this in a future post.

My intent with the site right now is to post articles and links of interest on my FRONT PAGE page.  My training will be posted to the WOD LOG, obviously.  You’ll not be able to comment on individual posts, so please give me feedback as to whether or not you like that.  The ARTICLES page will contain posts of general interest related to CrossFit authored by other individuals.  I’ll often cross-post articles from the TITANFIT Trainer’s Blog on the either the FRONT PAGE or the ARTICLES page in an effort to provide more exposure.  And my PR’s page will host my Personal Record’s of various TITANFIT workouts.  You can find these pages using the Navigation Bar at the top of this page, just above the photo.

And please bear with me throughout this process, as I’m new to WordPress!
