CrossFit and CrossFit Kids Training Info

Interested in getting started on your own journey to looking better, feeling better, being stronger and overall happier and healthier?

I am a full time Coach and Trainer at CrossFit Tri-Cities in St. Charles, IL. I currently hold my NASM-CPT as well as my CrossFit Level 1, Kettlebell, Nutrition, Movement & Recovery and CrossFit Kids Certifications. I have 3+ years of coaching and training experience and for me this isn't a hobby, it's a career and a lifestyle. I believe in looking at all aspects of my clients' lives to better their health and wellness. Besides just the time in the gym I focus on nutrition and lifestyle with my clients. Everything from job related issues, sleep, physical activity (or lack of) and more is looked at to ensure that clients get the best possible plan to achieve results. I will never be the trainer to "guarantee" results because you get back what you put in. The amount of effort ultimately falls on the client, but I will help give you the roadmap and the motivation to get you where you want to be.

For more information, contact me about my Personal Training services as well as CrossFit Kids classes and Group Training classes at CrossFit Tri-Cities.

Go Hard!


Teaching the CrossFit Kids how to Deadlift.

Today was another good day. I'm finding my motivation is coming very easily this week and I just want to crush everything. About 95% strict Paleo & good pre and post workout recovery work is paying off. Sleep could be a little better, but I blame that on the Lo-Carb Monster I drank yesterday...Doh!


Strength Work:
Split Jerk 3-3-3
185
190
195
(74-78% of 1RM)

WOD 1:
75 - #75 Thrusters
3:49
(This was about as hard as I can go on a WOD...it's nice to hit that intensity)

WOD 2: (Endurance WOD)
8 Min Row
2134 meters

Just a thought on CrossFit gym etiquette...
I've noticed a lot of members at CF Tri-Cities lately have been tearing down and putting away their equipment while others are still working on their WOD. In my opinion it's in the CrossFit spirit post-WOD to lay on the ground, catch your breath and if you have the ability to talk or clap, encourage the others still working around you. It seems discouraging and maybe a little selfish to tear down your bar and put it away while there are still people working. Remember guys, CrossFit isn't just about your workout, it's about the community and we need to foster positive relationships within that community. I think that may just start with a simple "you can do it!"
