7-17-19... One Invite Can Change A Life....

When we started the World's Best Bootcamp program a current member at the time mentioned it to people, and Krystal Durfee decided she wanted to be a part of it. When Krystal started her first camp, she just wanted to finish it. She didn't do any of the nutrition, and she complained a lot about how hard the workouts were. She saw great results in the first camp and decided to do the second camp. This time she focused on the nutrition aspect of it as well as the training and saw even better results. After the second bootcamp, she spoke with me about CrossFit. She wasn't sure she could do it, but I convinced her that she was ready. She told me that, "either this is going to work, or I'm ....

7-16-19... The Benefits of Weightlifting..

Many people get weightlifting and lifting weights confused. Technically the sport of weightlifting is also called Olympic Lifting and incorporates two moves; the snatch, and clean and jerk. Now that we have that cleared up, many people try to avoid these lifts in our program, and I wanted to take a second to discuss the benefits of them, and why they are important to practice. First of all, there are 10 general physical skill. They are: Endurance Stamina Strength Flexibility Power Speed Coordination Agility Balance Accuracy All of these skill are important to develop if you're going to be truly healthy and work towards longevity with your body's performance. Barring any ....

7-15-19... New Building Update

I just wanted to take a second to update you on the new building situation.... Originally we were super excited to be moving into the old Bike's Plus building. It had plenty of space, and the existing set up would've been great for our business model with very little need of buildout. As we moved through the process of buying the building it was discovered that the building was once used as a dry cleaner. That discovery prompted more environmental testing and when those tests came back it revealed a large amount of contamination in the soil and possibly in the building. It was at that point that we decided to walk away from that building. In our opinion your health is our number one ....

7-10-19...Comparison...

Comparison is the greatest thief of joy. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that any time that you are feeling unhappy it can be linked back to a comparison. Don't believe me? Just try it..... Think about the last time you were unhappy or had a feeling of sadness. Was it because you were comparing yourself to someone or something else. Example: You're very unhappy about your financial situation. Is it because you're comparing yourself to someone else, or what someone else has? Or are you comparing yourself to where you have been in the past? What about your fitness? If you're unhappy about your fitness is it because you're comparing yourself with where you used to be, or ....

7-9-18... Olympic Lifting Returns...

This last testing cycle we decided to remove olympic lifting from the lifting templates, and in lieu of that do some accessory work. We also added an olympic weightlifting class to supplement the oly lifts. Lastly, I pretty regularly programmed olympic lifts in the conditioning workouts so that the exposures were consistently happening. With all of that, I noticed during testing that many people struggled when testing those lifts. So this cycle, I've decided to bring olympic lifting back into the main rotation. We will be working on skill transfer exercises, and the actual clean and jerk and snatch weekly. These movements are fantastic for developing overall human performance and create ....

One year ago this month, I walked through the doors at CrossFit Bartlett, and my life was forever changed. On that day, I was miserable. I felt awful about myself. I didn't find myself attractive, and I referred to myself as "the fat friend". On Enlistment Day, I did not want Justin or Krystal to even look at me, because I felt like they were going to find me disgusting and assume I was a lazy person who made excuses for being overweight. That is how bad I felt about myself. I didn't even want people to look at me.

Before I started my journey at this gym, I had tried everything and my weight was up and down for years. I tried weight watchers, I ordered multiple as seen on TV quick fixes, I joined gyms, I tried Couch to 5k, I tried not eating, I relied on medicine, and I even did a few other things I am too embarrassed to mention. Nothing worked.

I started to believe that I was living in a body I was meant to have, and during one point in my life, I completely gave up. It wasn't worth it anymore. I did everything society said I should do, and I still failed.

The first 6 weeks during my journey, I was in the Boot Camp. I felt myself getting stronger, not just physically, but mentally. All of my goals were changing. I started noticing a shift from wanting to be skinny to wanting to be fit and healthy. I became confident and jumped at the opportunity to join CrossFit.

Later, I joined the nutrition program and got my eating under control. It is now a year later, and I cannot believe who I am today. I show up and put in the work, but if it were not for the staff, I would have not been successful. These people push you, support you, and educate you. They pave the way for the person you want to be.

My life has been enriched by this program. I no longer let the scale control my happiness, and I no longer say negative things about myself. I love myself fully for the first time in my life. When I decided to put myself first and to make my health a priority, everything changed, and I became a better friend and wife.

At the beginning of my journey, people would say, "I don't even know who you are anymore", and this would make me uncomfortable. When people say it now, I smile and say, "me either". Hearing those words is the best thing in the world.
