What better way to start the new year than with a commitment
to ourselves to pursue a healthier lifestyle.
At CrossFit Galena, we are committed to helping you reach your health
and fitness goals through our expert programming, nutrition counseling, and a community
of like-minded, motivated, and inspiring athlete members. We take care of the details, you just show up
and put in the work!
Now before you say “I can’t do CrossFit” or “I’ll try
CrossFit after I get in shape”, let me explain the difference between CrossFit
as a sport and CrossFit as a fitness regimen.
I’m sure some of you have seen YouTube videos of CrossFit athletes or
watched the CrossFit Games on TV, showcasing the world’s best athletes
COMPETING against each other. These
events are created to test the athletes to determine the “fittest on earth”,
and are a far cry from what we actually do day in and day out at CrossFit boxes
all over the world. CrossFit, as a
fitness regimen, isn’t about “testing” an individual, but rather increasing a
single individual’s level of health and fitness. Each workout is scalable to the member’s
ability and level of fitness. CrossFit®
describes itself as “universally scalable” as they have identified that the
needs of an Olympic athlete and the needs of our grandparents differ in degree,
not kind. What this means is that we all
have movements in our daily lives that we need to perform in order to live a
longer, more independent life. Whether
that be a squat (sitting down or getting up from a chair), deadlifting (picking
up an item from the ground) or a press (putting that item on a shelf), we all
perform these functional movements every day.
And, our population at CrossFit Galena is no different than any other
CrossFit box around the world. We have
20 somethings and 60 somethings, people who have been working out for years,
and people who just started their fitness journey, people whose professions
range from public service, to sales, to daycare, to business owners and everything
in between. My point is that CrossFit is
for anyone and everyone who wants to make a positive change in their lives.
All of our classes at CrossFit Galena are coach led, usually
at a coach to athlete ratio of 1:10 or less, which allows you to receive
individual attention when needed. The
coaches will lead you through a proper warm-up and workout, not only telling
you what to do, but actually instructing you on the movements and how to
properly and safely perform them. All of
our coaches hold at least a Level 1 Instructor certificate, among other
endorsements. Our workouts are expertly
written meant to increase our capacity in the 10 fitness domains:
Cardio/Respiratory Endurance, Strength, Stamina, Flexibility, Power, Speed,
Coordination, Agility, Accuracy, and Balance.
We also offer nutrition counseling for those of you who need the extra help
in identifying what foods, and the proper amounts of foods, you should be
consuming.
At CrossFit Galena, we believe that a healthy lifestyle
should be sustainable. We believe that
fitness is a lifelong journey, not a six week boot camp. We believe that your fitness program should
be an all-inclusive plan, not just some random workout that makes you
sweat. We believe your nutrition should
contain real, whole foods, not two shakes and a sensible dinner. We believe that progress and success comes
from commitment and hard work, not some magic pill. And we believe in our members, because we see
just how hard they work and how committed they are to reaching their goals.
