Should I start Training at Rogue? Day 1

I don’t think I am in shape enough to start training yet?
We have 3 different ways to enter the program and we scale our workouts to the individual. How to Get Started

Are the classes hard?

We get asked this all the time, we have Level 1 & 2 classes to allow people time to get acclimated to the movements and intensity. We will soon be adding Level 3 classes to feed the thirst for knowledge and conditioning levels. Simple answer is Yes you will have to work harder than with your normal trainer. You will work harder because you don’t want your friend to get a better time or you set a goal for yourself. You won’t work hard because we stand over you and make you push yourself to the limit.

What do you actually learn at Rogue Fitness?

Bodyweight Movements, plyometrics, dumbbell movements, Russian Kettlebells, Olympic and Powerlfting Movements. Anything and everything we can get our hands on that will keep you running, jumping, pulling and pushing for many decades to come!

Can I train with my husband, wife, brother, sister, mother, father, son or daughter?

Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes and Yes as long as they are old enough to pass a brief fitness assessment. We have couples that train together everyday, interesting competitive environment!

Will training there degrade my ability to compete in a triathlon or marathon?

It is more likely that training with CrossFit and kettlebells will improve your tri times but your long distance running will degrade your CrossFit times!

Can I get big doing CrossFit?

Yes, depending on the amount/type of food you eat you can achieve the body type that you desire. Anything except weak as one of your choices!

Kettlebell Relays!

Today we worked on lateral strength of the knees, worked on loading the knee from all directions. Sometimes much of what we do is straight up and down, you never know when you are going to take a blow from the side. Knee stability is key to keeping you out of surgery!

My brother the Rogue Chef heads to Snow Mass!

My brother Ben Alder is moving to Aspen to work as a Chef at Snow Mass, I am assuming we are all envious! Ben is a very talented Chef, if you are vacationing in the area just ask for Ben. I am sure he won’t be hard to find. Good luck Ben and send pictures from your stay.

He has one of the first five sets of Rogue Rings to take with him on his journey. GOOD LUCK BEN!

Saturday Holiday Teamwork Madness!

It was a crazy and full Saturday today at Rogue as everyone took a break from all the frantic shopping to get some holiday togetherness, Rogue style. We held our usual strength and conditioning session along with some intros for all the new folks coming in! After that we, had an awesome competition workout in which two person teams were going at it for the title of Rogue Holiday Master and all the bragging rights it entails.
