We are about to make a new equipment purchase but wanted to get some feedback to see what everyone thought first. Below is a great instructional video. Personally, I’m a big fan of the range of motion available with this product.
I still can’t fully decide if it’s actually work/family safe…
We all come to CrossFit Edmonton for many different reasons. We all exercise and stay fit for many different reasons. From this, we also have many different success stories of things we’ve achieved through our hard work. The easy and obvious ones for us are the things we achieve within the program. Things like, finally doing a running WOD without taking any walk breaks, finally getting that first double under after weeks of whip marks, getting a new time on that benchmark or pulling that new weight off the ground.
However, what we don’t always see and hear are the real life success stories. The times when we do something physical only to notice after the fact that, “That was easy”. Do you have one of these moments? Please share with us a time when you did some physical task out in the ‘real world’ and afterwards thought to yourself “That way easy”.
A not-so-easy moment in the gym can lead to a That Was Easy moment in real life.
At CrossFit Edmonton, we like to think that the concept is pretty simple. Show up and work hard. That’s about all we ask too. If you come into the facility every time as a motivated person ready to work hard, we can guarantee your results.
The trouble comes with the simple ‘work hard’ principle. Most everything in our lives these days is geared towards convenience and making things easier. So much so that we even start to think that fitness should come easy. We get sold into buying one of the million gimmicks out there thinking it will be that “Magic Pill” Unfortunately, there will never be a magic pill. There is no substitute for good old fashion hard work.
At CrossFit Edmonton, we work hard to create a program that will truly maximize your results. Combine our programing with your hard work and we have a perfect recipe for results.
So the next time you swing by our neck of the woods, know that we only ask one thing of you: show up and work hard!
