It would be a shame for people in this area not to know about the great training value we provide at CrossFit Gulf Coast.
Our Open Gym Pass provides one month of small-group coaching, with two CrossFit Trainers there throughout the day for $50 (no contract)
You can train any time during our extensive Open Gym hours and get lots of great pointers from myself or my assistant trainer, often both of us.
At times, you might be the only one training, and guess what? You get one-on-one coaching at a fraction of the cost of "personal training".
If you don't already train with us, do your "homework", and you'll probably come here once you know what else is available.
We were the 35th licensed & affiliated CrossFit gym in the world, that's no joke.
We are not new at this.
Through mutual respect with my friend, Tony Spain, you can train at his gym if you belong to ours at no extra charge. We also do the same for his clients.
That's two gyms for the price of one, and you get to work with the people who brought this type of training to Sarasota in the first place.

Will
How to waste the New Year:
Why old habits can limit your progress
It seems that everyone gets really excited each year about this time, thinking all manner of better things magically await them in the “New Year”.
That is fantastic if you enter the New Year better prepared than the previous year; however, that won’t be the case for most people.
What you wouldn’t commit to doing in 2009, won’t get done in 2010 either, unless you have gotten really disgusted or fed up with yourself, your life, or your situations.
When the “status quo” becomes unacceptable or unbearable, you’ll probably decide to change.
There is nothing wrong with being excited about something, but it should lead to a decision to actually do something about it AND commit to that decision on a consistent basis.
Many people will never do that, and they’ll wonder why their life never changes for the better.
It’s been said that character is sticking to your commitment long after the emotions you felt when you first made it have faded away.
It’s about doing what is right, even if it doesn’t seem fun or exciting anymore.
You could say it’s a matter of will.
Training when no one else is there.
Working harder than you ever have before is a matter of will.
Practicing the basics is a matter of will.
Training through the plateaus is a matter of will.
Lowering your training weight in order to correct a technique is a matter of the will.
Being coachable is a matter of will.
You get the point, without me going on about that.
If your attitude is the opposite of the things listed above, you could be in for a crummy 2010.
You wouldn’t let that happen would you?

Aging Ruthlessly
Well, another year starts today! I've been blessed to enjoy 59 years, so far, in excellent health!
Today I did another one of my upgraded birthday workouts:
I did 100 meters on the Concept 2 Rower for each year of my age (timed, of course).
What a blast!
For the last couple of weeks I've taking the CrossFit Workout of the Day and scaling each one up to increase the difficulty. Now that is celebrating!
The videos are on my YouTube Channel
check them out when you get some time, okay?
As you can tell by the title of this e-mail, I am not inclined to age gracefully;
I prefer to age ruthlessly.
That has nothing to do with being mean-spirited or crotchedy as I get older. Rather, it means I refuse to let our culture/society dictate what my life should be like, especially as I get older.
One of my role models actually lived a few thousand years ago, and was an ancient warrior named Caleb.He was written about in the Old Testament of the Bible as being as strong at age 80 as he was at 40. He actually fought hand-to-hand against much younger men during their war, and won!
Now that's a role model! Don't dare call him a senior citizen, old codger, old goat, or other term that people often use to describe older folks these days. You might get a rude awakening. If a person mouthed off to an old World War II Marine, for instance, he'd probably get knocked out!
In a culture where age is looked at with disdain, it is vital that older people don't get sucked into the mental trap of believing that garbage just because they are a certain age.
Now if you are a person who is approaching (fill in the blank with that dreaded age) get a grip on that nonsense right now!
If you choose to think that way you could already be starting to severely limit your capabilities and performance later in life.
Instead, head down to the gym, load the bar heavy and get to work! No excuses!
