EVENTS
Who really relies on the results of their fitness to preserve their lives? Soldiers, Police and Fire fighters.
What is being adopted throughout the Special Forces communities, Secret Service, US Marshals, FBI, ATF and many other people who rely on fitness to preserve their lives? CrossFit.
When it comes to an endeavor where being weak costs you your life, they do CrossFit.
Most of us do not require that level of fitness in our daily lives. Why train this hard? If you look at a continuum when on one side is residing in a nursing home and the other end the decathlete (Or similar well rounded capable individual), ask this simple question: Which place do I want to be in?
Time, aging, and lifestyle conspire to put us in long term care homes and alike. The harder we pull toward the elite side of the continuum, the less close we are to the nursing home. If teaching a 57 year old women to dead lift 200 plus pounds seems extreme, think of the grandmother who can't pick up her #20 grandson. Which place do you want to be in?
Very few of us will get to the level of being on the CrossFit website for some outstanding physical feat. We CAN all work diligently to achieve the best effort and results our age and ability allow us to achieve.
All the training we do at HyperFit USA uses CrossFit principles as the basis of our programming.
Why?
Our goal is to create people who are capable in ALL aspects of fitness. The results and methods are shown on our blogs and in our videos.
When the SEAL Teams and Special Forces adopt Swiss balls as a major tool to keep them alive when it counts, I will buy them. Until that time, we will do CrossFit.

Thanks for the coaching points. I miss your gym.
So you weren't impressed with NASM flexibility;)

Actually, we do a lot of similar things in our joint mobility and movement prep. Just have not had a chance to respond.

NASM does a lot of work with globo gyms, but they also do a lot of work with professional athletes. What I like best about NASM is the assessment and corrective exercise training that you can do with clients. Theoretically, you could do OHS assessments with your new clients. Program a CE program for them to do at home on their off training days during their first 10 sessions. I actually think your warmups are better than you give yourself credit. I've never been hurt following your programming.
