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 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!

Closer to 4 stone now and Crossfit or or Brighton Fit U as it is now called has well and truly changed my life.
I found my self in Jan of 09 a 19 1/2 Stone fat bloke with no stamina and was felling so unwell I thought I was becoming diabetic or worse.
After several months of struggling to arrest this situation I discovered Holly and late in April 09 I started to attend regular (bi weekly and later trice weekly) sessions and am now (early hours of Dec 26th) 4 stone lighter, eating better than I have ever eaten in my life and looking forward to what ever challenge Holly throws at me next.
Am travelling to the Domonican Republic in July 2010 and am looking forward to being totally stacked when I do.
