I am stepping down as the director/trainer of the CFP program at Minto Armories.
As some of you know I have been dealing with the complete disintegration of my life, I have recently suffered a mental blowup and at this time I cannot possibly continue to volunteer so much time each week at the cost of my own time and training and sanity. I have been doing this for free for almost a year now, and has been a constant daily, never ending battle to keep it running and at great personal loss to myself. I have given everything I possible can and now must leave it. I will miss it greatly however I must now move on and see if there is anything in life that can actually bring me happiness.
We have done great things in the short time we have been up and running. We have seen our dedicated athletes make incredible gains and some turn their lives and training around.
The Originals: Mitch, Kyle, Josh, Andrew, Mikel, Caroline, Justin, Eric, Vince;
and all of our newer athletes and drop-ins.
You have all come to see the value of this programming and its safety, effectiveness and versatility. You guys are stronger, faster and more powerful then when we came together and you have learned many highly skilled movements.
What my leaving means to the group is = Nothing. Honestly for the regs, you guys dont need me, and you can teach the new athletes.
Class times can continue at 620 and 730, or can be changed to whatever the groups consensus is. The Equipment will still be available for use by all military pers at Minto at all times.
The website will remain up and running and can be edited by anyone who wants too.
This was in many ways a great experiment.
Our experiment was a huge success, this was the effectiveness of the programing and movements. We proved on thing for sure = CrossFit works!
I would like to thank everyone for coming out and taking part while I was in charge. You guys did what I asked, did not give me too much attitude (kyle) and worked damn hard for me. I will always appreciate the opportunity the military gave me in starting this up and getting it running, as well as the experience of ordering equipment and setting up a facility.
I wish you guys all the best in your athletic endeavors. Many of you have INCREDIBLE potential and all of you are capable of becoming the best versions of you, you have ever been!
remember the words of Greg Glassman,
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.The last class I will be running is this friday at 730, I Encourage everyone to Attend, M and K just both come....
So I bid you now, GO FORTH AND CROSSFIT!
