Who's tougher Tobey or Troy?

With Troy & Eric on military deployment until Thursday, Tobey has been covering the evening classes. I am sure that some thought they would be a little easier, are they?

I got a little feedback today that Tobey holds her own and am putting this up to a little friendly question? I know that on Monday she had Chuck doing “SuperMan” squats while running everone else through a BootCamp class. We all figure that if she can win Chuck over, she is one tough girl.

Post your thoughts!

Take a look at some of the other CrossFit Affiliates


Doug Chapman at http://www.hyperfitusa.com
Doug has a top notch facility in Ann Arbor other than the fact that it is in Michigan! We have been very lucky to have Doug in our corner during our startup, many lessons learned from his successes. If you are ever in Ann Arbor stop in and tell him where you train, just don’t get lost in his 9500 Sq Ft facility.

You have to love teaching young hockey bruisers the finer techniques of hockey.

Can I do a Boot Camp/CrossFit Workout?

DSCF1251.JPG
Mother & Daughter, Judie & Cathy learned functional movements today. What are functional movements:

1) Squat – You will need this everyday all day
2) Deadlift – Do you pick things up from the ground, if so you will need a good deadlift
3) Overhead Press – Do you ever pick something up and press it over your head?

When your body is left to take it’s natural course, everyone will tend to round their backs and weaken their knees. Judie and Cathy spent most of the time training with a piece of PVC pipe and their own bodyweight. We do not load anyone that cannot perform the movement properly, this is what we mean when we say scaling. We train MMA fighters and mom’s the same way!

How do you start with CrossFit & Boot Camp?

The only way to start with CrossFit style workouts is by easing into them. At Rogue Fitness we teach primarily Boot Camp classes based on CrossFit fundamentals. This is a great way to learn the movements, we spend most of our time making sure that people are performing the exercises correctly.

Most importantly we scale all of our workouts to the individual, this is how functional fitness is built. We encourage and teach, this is how you will take that first step. The first session is always free because we want people to see how it works and decide for themselves if this is what they would like to invest time in. We rarely have someone that doesn’t want to come back, give it a shot.

If you are willing to learn, we are willing to teach and motivate!
