CrossFit vs. P90x

Posted in Crossfit Philosophy, In the News, Members on October 2, 2009 by Fit 605 Inc
Best ab exercise out there.

Now before I say anything, I am not against P90x. Annie and I have the set of DVDs and do them in addition to our CrossFit training. Funny thing is, I still watch the infomercials when I see them on TV. I think there is nothing wrong with P90x. I like it. But it is funny to me when I hear people say, “Isn’t CrossFit like P90x?” Or, “P90x is just as tough as CrossFit”. That is when I disagree. From the outside looking in, I can understand how the average gym goer may think they are similar, but after you read this you will have an educated opinion about the differences between the two.

Sometimes we don't even know what our goals are. Think about it. Like Kelsie is:-)

I love a new month!

Last month 8 of us started off the month right, by setting 3 big goals for the month. So Heather, Sharese, Jimmy, Kimberly G, Jeri, Liza, Amanda: How did you do? Did you hit your goals? What is the update?

Goals are the internal driving force that is going to drive us harder, push us to a higher level.

So lay it out there…Set 3 more new goals for the month of October. Lets hear it!

Congrads to Sable Mccay!

Sable helps us with the daycare in the evenings, but boy does she kick butt in the mornings with the WOD’s. She is consistent, hard working and positive. She is just starting to tap into her potential. I remember when she first started and to see her now with how much stronger and faster she is, is truly awesome!

Thank you Sable for all you do. We appreciate you!

CrossFit For Real Life

Blackhillsmilmarathon

Last weekend a few CrossFitters from Sioux Falls ran in the Military Marathon in the Black Hills. Becky Langloss, Sondra Vogt, and Amber Brown all competed in the race with their only main source of training of CrossFit.

Well Becky finished the race 1st Place!!! And Sondra came in 3rd place!

A marathon is a tremendous accomplish for an athlete. They all attributed there CrossFit training that not only got them through the race but allowed them such an impressive finish.

Way to go Girls!

What kind of improvements have you noticed in your daily and recreational activities thanks to CrossFit training?

Congrads to Kimberly Godes!

Kim has been a very consistent member since she started coming to see us. Kim is a big Biggest Loser fan, like myself, and she is really getting some Biggest Loser results.

I hope you guys read the comments to our blogs. If not, then check out what Kim had to say recently,

“Chris and Ann…I discovered Cross Fit at a point in my life that was full of “lows”. (weight gain, family issues, etc). The gym and YOU GUYS have helped me to see that I can do anything and achieve goals! Thank you for being a support and helping me to become the person I want to be: Healthy and Happy”

Btw: Kim’s pants she used to wear to work a couple of months ago won’t fit her any more, they keep falling off!

Thank you Kim for being a part of our community! We appreciate you.

I have found that the best way to improve with any lifestyle change i.e. fitness results is knowing that you are not in this alone. Changing Habits and lifestyle is a very big deal. It is hard to hold yourself accountable by yourself. That is what makes our CrossFit community so great because everyone involved is so helpful, motivating, and accountable. The trainers are here to help you succeed! Use and abuse us…I DARE YOU to email, call, set an appointment to allow us to help YOU reach YOUR goals. Everything is in place for you to succeed…

So DO IT!

NOW!

We would like to give it up for Christopher Bartek for becoming our next Athlete of the Week!

Chris has been very dedicated to CrossFit over the past few months since he began and it has really shown. I always love to use his results as a testimonial to other men that are interested in CrossFit.

Chris comes in every workout and pushes himself and it helps bring the class to a higher energy level.

Thank you Chris for everything you bring to our CrossFit Community. We appreciate you.
