Training/rest day


Periodically at our Canton facility we have large training seminars run by Physicians Business Solutions.  The business model of our club is one that incorporates everything necessary for holistic fitness: both an injury rehabilitation/prevention clinic and a fully equipped gym.

By now you should know that when words like "fully equipped gym" are bandied about, they are meant in the utmost.  Ropes, tires, barbells, bumper plates, pull-up bars, rings, med balls, boxes, power racks, and knowledgable training staff are the core of a true fitness program, and we are no different in that  regard.  The business model we employ is thriving during a recession, and there are very good reasons behind this fact.

One of those reasons is that it's a very good time to invest in yourself.  In times of economic hardship, preparing oneself for the worst is a great way not only to maintain the work you've already done, but also to hone the mental edge that got you there in the first place.  Trials of a physical nature also test the mind.  A rugged training program and the alertness it exacts from you are hallmarks of elite performance.  That is the goal here: the consistent improvement of elite performance.

Anyone who's done a few CrossTraining classes can attest to the hardiness of spirit required to finish a workout, no matter how short it may appear on the board.  Those seconds tick by like a road roller if you were the asphalt: interminably slow, and every one is compressing you more, and you're struggling to keep breathing, keep moving, keep fighting ahead of the crushing juggernaut.  The WODs are more than their name implies.  The truth is bigger than the words we use to describe it.  This is true training, preparation for the worst possible scenario.  Facing that which we fear and overcoming it.

Come train with us today, if you have time.  Because of the aforementioned seminar we'll be out on the lawn across the street, and what lies in wait on the grass is a surprise you'll just have to discover on your own.
