Just came from early morning Olympic lifting class after having done “Oly” the night before. (don’t worry, last night was snatches and this morning was cleans) It got me thinking about the other Specialty classes this week - Endurance and Gymnastics on Monday night and Barbell class on Tuesday night and how I’m still sore (in a good way) from those classes. It also got me thinking about how well designed the Specialty workouts are and how well coached they are. It doesn’t matter your fitness or skill level, there’s always a modification so that you can start somewhere and measure your progress each week. I can’t say enough about the coaching at this gym and how each and every one of the coaches are both knowledgeable and patient and really care about each member and work with them to make tweaks in form in order to help them achieve success. This is really what separates this gym from others from a coaching standpoint. The WOD’s (workout of the day) which I do just about everyday as well and that’s because I always read them and say to myself “ooh this is going to be a good one” and I tell people that the best part about each WOD is that you just show up and it’s written out for you. There’s no getting to the gym and trying to figure out what to do that day. Also, each WOD is designed to hit different muscle groups and coordinated in a way so that you can do it each day without repeating the same exercises in that week. If you’re competitive (as I can be), then, there’s that aspect too since it’s such a community atmosphere here and we push each other and cheer for each other, but, we can also look at the board to see what others are doing and quietly try to beat those scores. It’s always friendly rivalries that develop especially when you’re working out right next to someone and that’s where the competitive spirit comes out, but, always in a good way since we’re all here to improve ourselves both physically and mentally. The owner of the gym (also a coach) is highly involved and takes the time to get to know each new member that comes through the door and always projects a positive vibe into the gym. He’s passionate about fitness and is always looking for different ways to improve the fitness experience from a mental and physical aspect. If you’ve never been to Chimney Rock CrossFit, then, check it out some Saturday morning and see what a fun way it is to start your weekend or come down on Monday morning and start your week off in a positive way, you won’t be sorry!
