Who is CrossFit for?

CrossFit is for anyone with the determination and commitment to learning skills that will improve their fitness dramatically. All the workouts can be scaled to any fitness level. The fundemental movements do not change just reps, weight and time, so it is accessible to everybody!

The CrossFit Method

Practice and train all major lifts; deadlift, squats, clean and jerk, and snatch. Master the gymnastic movements; pull ups, dips, push ups, sit ups, handstands. Row, run, bike and swim. Now mix them up into as many different combinations as you can imagine and do them at high intensity for short durations. Avoid routine! Learn and play new sports. - Founder of CrossFit, Greg Glassman.

Nutrition

Eat meat and fish, vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starchy carbohydrate and no sugar - Greg Glassman, Founder of CrossFit. For further information look at the Zone Diet.

I have thoroughly enjoyed being CrossFit BN1 however feel it is time for us to expand.
I believe in the CrossFit method and will continue to use the knowledge that I have gained through completing my certification. I will also be adding new methods to develop Fit U for U!

Making progress




I wanted to put up a blog about one of my clients, John. He has been training with me since the beginning of April and in that time, as managed to lose a massive 3 stone! He trains three times a week and follows the nutrtion plan I have set out for him. He is focused and extremely determined. Well done John and thanks for sticking with it, even on the cold wet morning when you know we have to do a dreaded 5k run!

Lagoon Ladies


Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday morning at 9.15am is my ladies only sessions. We meet at Hove Lagoon just after school drop off and the sessions usually takes 45mins so its done and dusted and you can get on with your day by 10am. The sessions are for anyone looking to get back into fitness and can't bare the thought of going into a gym! Everyone trains at their own level and achieve their own goals. I am on hand for encouragment and a little push to do a bit more! I also offer nutrtion advice for anyone looking to lose a few pounds or to fit into that dress!!! We are a friendly bunch so come down and see what you think.
