These Concept 2 rowers are the most effective piece of equipment to build respiratory endurance! Zero impact pieces of equipment are hard to come by, we now have 6 of them!

Arms, legs, chest, back, abs, heart—even your mind gets a complete workout from the efficient, rhythmic motion of rowing. Rowing is the complete exercise!

Can you move 10,000 pounds?

Our members sure can! And quickly too. Today’s Russian Kettlebell workout was a team based effort in which each team had to accumulate 10,000 lbs moved from the ground to overhead and move it a mile! As it turned out, that really isn’t that much volume or work. Great job everyone!

Victoria is officially AWOL!

Victoria aka “Vic” is officially on AWOL status, that means Absent Without Leave! She is seen in this photo going around town challenging people to pushup duels however cannot make it into class. She could very easily be one of our competitors and when she is here is an inspiration to the other athletes. I sent your picture to GoFast so that we can have a special edition of the energy drink with a missing photo of you!

IF YOU SEE “VIC” REMIND HER SHE IS AWOL AND FEEL FREE TO POST MOTIVATION FOR HER RETURN!

At Rogue we want our clients to be here unlike the globo-gym that only wants 5% of their clients to attend. This is also why our clients see such quick improvements and are able to achieve goals they didn’t think were possible! The average gym member will go 3-4 times per month, our average member comes in 3-4 times a week! Why?

1) We actually give a **** if you are here!

2) We don’t teach ridiculous exercises that won’t improve your daily life

3) We constantly vary our program and we scale it to fit your abilities.

Don't give me a complex!

What happens when the three heads of Roguefitness design the WOD. Everyone gets a complex…..Snatches were the first order of the day, followed by overhead lunges, overhead squats, and ending with a snatch balance, the trick is you do them in succession. The idea this week, has been to get all of the Rogue members comfortable with weight overhead in the receiving position. Keep up the great work!

The muscleup hits Roguefitness!

All of our clients had an opportunity to play with the Muscleup today. We were able to show them that the Muscleup isn’t necessarily about strength, but about coordination, and timing. The Rogue monsters then had the chance to use the Muscleup as part of our WOD. Great job tonight, remember to take care of those hands, you will need them for the rest of this week…..DSCF3825.JPG

How many workouts are enough?

Well…how much can you handle? We have found the minimum number of classes to come to per week to see results is three or fours classes per week. On the other hand, you have Firebreathers like Sam who came to both the noon and Level 2 workouts today! Obviously not everyone will have that kind of work capacity (nor is it normally recommended), but the consensus definitely is; the more effort you put in, the more you get out.
