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.
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.

Training in the park when the weather is good is something I love about my job!!!

As time is passing I am seeing some fantastic improvements in my athletes fitness and it really makes my job feel worthwhile, especially when I look back at photos and previous WOD times and see the results, its inspiring how dedicated these guys are.
Well done.
This weekend has been fantastic. We were so lucky with the weather and the amount of people that showed up.
On Friday for our CrossFit demo we put a challenge together of a Royal Marine Commando vs Scott Reed from ZT, Scott is the Strong Man winner 2007/2008. They competed for the fastest time doing Fran, 21-15-9 Thrusters and Pull ups, one of the most demanding CF benchmark workouts! They both did really well considering it was their first attempt, Scott came in the fastest so well done to him! There are photos on the ZTFightSkool website on Flickr.
On Saturday it was the Stand up tounament and more demos and people getting the chance to try and learn stuff.
Sunday was the MMA Tournament which was really exciting, a great ending to a really good weekend.
Lots of exciting things happening at the moment, just make sure you're out there doing something and getting the whole family involved!!
Just a reminder, it is the WHITE AIR FESTIVAL this weekend, with loads to see and do, including live music and every extreme sport you can think of. We will be there, so head down and check it out!!!
