Mike Latch visited from Valley CrossFit http://www.valleycrossfit.com
Mike and Lynne showed some LA fortitude during a grueling tabata workout.
Mike, Cara, Tom, Brian, Mike & Lynne great work and we will see you tomorrow! Mike invented a new kettlebell movement, we will call it the “Egg”, must handle the bell very gently!
Troy is on a personal mission to help all victims of Ninja oppression, he gave this man two free months of unlimited training at Rogue Fitness.
Nia visited us for a workout this weekend, we used mostly kettlebells to include the “Turkish Getup”
Classes are on for Labor Day if you feel like coming in and getting a workout in! Mike Latch, Valley CrossFit – LA, will be here at 12PM tomorrow for a workout. Come on out and enjoy your last day off before you head back to the daily grind!
We had a great turnout for the 830AM tailgate party at Rogue. Looks like we found our time slot for Saturday’s going forward. Now it is time to get to the game and watch the Buckeyes whip some ass!
Nik and Brad from the Rugby team hitting the battling ropes. These guys had a very tough workout called, “Rogue Tabata”
Start with Box Jumps!
Next Sumo dead-lift high pulls – this is great training for you next sumo match!
Now some wall balls, shooting for a 10′ target. We will see all of you tomorrow morning for the pre-tailgate workout. Remember workouts are scaled to the individual and technique is stressed.
This week we have been further emphasizing the usage of relatively heavy weights for all of our clients. This greatly increases the intensity of our workouts and catapults results, assuming proper form is used. Here, everyday people and elite athletes alike are moving huge volumes of weight in very little time. We are masters of increasing power output and keeping it there. This is what really translates to functional work.
Mark hitting some kettlebell swings!
This was the scene of the crime!
Officer Huffman came to make sure everything was on the up and up!
Dale King brought Bashon and Swords.
We will hold another workout next Saturday, see you there!
Mr. Metts during Tabata, this is a simple 30 second work unit = 20 seconds of work + 10 seconds of rest.
Tomorrow should be an awesome time, remember to bring someone new to share the fun at Noon! You can bring a cheering section as well, families are welcome!
One of the characteristics that really distinguishes us from the rest of the fitness industry is the active feedback we give to our members. We are a community of fitness enthusiasts and trainers first and foremost. It is this attitude that drives the way we do business, not the addition of more clients that we hope never come back (like some other unnamed big-box gyms). From this way of thinking, things like this blog came about to better showcase our members’ accomplishments and further communication with the rest of the world. So without further ado…here are some silly and cool photos I felt like posting:
Jessica and J both performing the kettlebell snatch, two very different weights. We teach the progressions that allow anyone to pull the kettlebell movements. Stressing the mechanics of the exercises allows anyone to perform things they never thought they could do.
What looks complicated becomes simple and then we build upon that!
Jessica heads back to Bowling Green this weekend, everyone here enjoyed her competitive nature and ability to press through the workouts. I have a feeling when she trains her Lacrosse team, things may be a little difficult for them!
