Why we choose CrossFit

  • Why CrossFit?
    Why do we do CrossFit? 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, Police Departments, Fire Departments 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 Mid Ohio CrossFit is influenced largely by CrossFit principles. Whether it is Basic Training, Boot Camp, CrossFit, Self-Defense, or Private Training, much of what we do is based on functional exercises, executed at high intensity that are varied to the point of near randomness. Why? Our goal is to create people who are capable in ALL aspects of fitness. 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.

"

Since the first day I started crossfit I have been in the best shape of my life.  I am able to set goals and reach those goals now since crossfit.  I see a huge and feel a huge difference in my physical appearance. 
One of the things I like about crossfit is the people there help you push your limits farther everyday. Crossfit is probably the one thing in my life I won't stop doing."

"The team atmosphere and the challenging workouts have pushed me to work harder than I thought I could. The changing workouts make it fun because its not the same thing everyday, like normal weight room workouts. CrossFit has also helped with my speed, which is very important since I am a college level pole vaulter."

I spent my life in the gym with decent results. The difference I have found between the gym and CrossFit is the gym can get you big but it does nothing for your power and stamina. Power comes from the core and core is CrossFit… Besides, look at the list of testimonials…just like the other armed services, watch what the Marines do and try to duplicate it! For all the runners out there CrossFit has something for you. I ran 0 miles the six weeks preceding my 8th ½ marathon, I only trained Crossfit. I finished in 1:56:16. Thank you Wade and Suzanne for taking all the risks to bring this opportunity

"Before I came to CrossFit, I thought yeah right how can this really do anything for you? After the first day I was hooked! I have never  been this physically or mentally strong in my life. Other workouts (weight lifting) bored me, this keeps me wanting more because of the challenge & different workouts we do! For all you non-believers, don't knock it till ya try it!

"Doing CrossFit on my own got results ( 0 to 10 pushups!)  Doing CrossFit here got bigger results faster!  The specialized environment and the team/peer pressure make it easy to focus and excel.  Wade is also great at working with each person's specific needs for best effect.  It would be worth twice the price, although I couldn't afford it then!"

"Having been a pro boxer, I know what is needed to take it to the next level. I really wish I'd have known about these workouts when I was still fighting. If I would ever decide to fight again, you can bet that I would add in alot of these workouts to my training. To anyone who wants to take their game to the next level Mid-Ohio CrossFit is a must."

"After having my 1st child, I seemed to loose all my muscle. It was very hard for me to push my son in our running stroller. After doing the CrossFit training, I can now push my son in the running stroller --running 3 miles. It really has improved my running strength. I love it !!"

"I always thought I was in shape because of playing sports and still being in high school, but CrossFit brings a new meaning to "in shape".  The people here are great and become more like a family.  CrossFit is tough, but you won't regret it."

"CrossFit impacts my life and work by getting me in better shape.  Working at the Fire Department the job can be demanding at times.  CrossFit has made a difference in how I can perform my job.  It has also given me more energy throughout the day and just feel in better shape."

DSC02395 - Anthony Coletta

  Fire Fighter




 

"CrossFit is a phenomenal group of people that I am proud to call my TEAM.  It is far superior to any "team" I've ever been a part of.  I look forward to going every day and thrive for the feeling of accomplishment that I get from our workouts.  I am definitely addicted.  I owe all of my progress to my husband, Manbeast 9.5, my Wheaties coach, and the B.E. warmup."

World Class Fitness in 100 Words

  • Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and no sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise but not body fat. Practice and train major lifts: Deadlift, clean, squat, presses, C&J, and snatch. Similarly, master the basics of gymnastics: pull-ups, dips, rope climb, push-ups, sit-ups, presses to handstand, pirouettes, flips, splits, and holds. Bike, run, swim, row, etc, hard and fast. Five or six days per week mix these elements in as many combinations and patterns as creativity will allow. Routine is the enemy. Keep workouts short and intense. Regularly learn and play new sports.
