10 Reasons NOT to train at HyperFit USA
(And 10 reasons we don’t want you to come)
10. They make you try out – Just having a credit card and pulse does not get you a membership. You have to demonstrate your willingness and ability to train intensely enough to get results. Who wants to have to meet objective standards of performance?
9. They train too hard – You sweat and breathe hard in every workout. You train at the edge of the redline which makes it too hard to read a magazine while “working out.” They won’t let you be a part of the program if you just want to go through the motions.
8. They coach you – You can’t just sit and peddle on the bike, they make you learn and develop skills. They video workouts so people can see what they are doing and coach you on how to improve. You have to learn how to move better, so you can lift more weight faster – which means you get stronger, faster and lift properly. Who wants to be coached to be stronger or faster?
7. They don’t like whining or excuses – Complainers and criers are shunned, ridiculed, run off and are generally treated like lepers. They don’t consider the woe is me attitude to be a good thing or a badge of courage. It is the right of every human to paint himself or herself as a victim in everything so they can increase their popularity with their everything-is–wrong peer group. Who wants to go to a place where you can’t complain about everything under the sun?
6. They teach you new things – They make people learn new lifts, workouts and training methods – And expect you to master them. They teach and re-teach the fundamentals so you are good at them. Who wants to learn and perfect movements in constantly changing workouts?
5. They don’t have mirrors, treadmills, machines, TV’s Etc. – They don’t have a place to adjust your make up or to flex while you stand around figuring out your next bicep exercise. You can’t check how your new outfit looks when you work out. There is no TV with Jerry or Montel or any other car crash program to distract you from your workout. They actually make you run to do your “cardio.” Who really wants to actually focus on training?
4. They tell you the truth – They tell you when you are not moving right, or babying yourself or going through the motions. They are do not praise you when you look like a space monkey having a seizure. If you do something stupid in a workout they will have probably videoed it and put it on YouTube. Who wants to be held accountable to actually do things right?
3. They expect you to get better and actually expect you to train – They expect you to add weight, go faster and maintain excellent form as a regular part of the training. They expect you to try harder to overcome the weakest links in your performance. They expect everyone who has a membership to actually come to the gym to workout. Who wants that kind of stress to constantly improve or show up?
2. They measure performance – They keep score and track your results. They won’t let you just go through the motions – They keep score on the results of your training. If your scores, weights or times are not improving, they want to know why. Who wants their performance to improve all the time?
1. They charge too much – They charge enough where you may actually feel compelled to show up and train. They think that if they provide a top level, fully equipped training space and expert coaches to coach you, it is of value to their members. Who wants to pay for a fully equipped and professionally run training center that expects people to workout and requires people to get results?

It's amazing the difference diet can make.
Enjoy it!
Eat good, sleep good, then you are on your way.
Hello,
I've been putting out a string of essays lately on CrossFit Watertown but forgot to throw them on this list.
So, here's the latest one: http://www.crossfitwatertown.com/2009/08/21/the-simple-truth/
(If you hit the "Articles" tab up at the top of the page, you'll come across a whole bunch more.)
Feel free to repost, with a link to the original. Thanks!
Best,

Ok, Just get some rest today. Go for a walk or ride your bike, but just take t easy.
Tomorrows a big day for everyone, be prepared.
I am not a great writer... I wish I was, it is obvious by my posts maybe someday i'll be better..... I am a very good trainer and very observant so just let me say this, we have the best trainers and coaches around and that makes me so very happy. CrossFit Uvalde also has some amazing athletes. In comparison, it is amazing to me what I witness on a day to day basis. You have to wonder what people are thinking when they approach your athletes, grope their muscles, amazed at the difference in the body composition, ask what they are doing, then totally disconnect when they are told. I guess that's the difference in 39.95 gyms and CrossFit.
At CrossFit you get coached and taught and educated. If you don't show up it doesn't just hurt you....it hurts the community. At CrossFit you are a person and your results matter. However, it isn't for eveyone and those 39.95 people will never get it even when it's in their face, when they can touch it. It is UNBELIEVABLE and it is tragic from a fitness perspective. It is great for us though and one of these days maybe we can break through the paradigm and resue a few of these individuals.
I am not trying to be harsh, just realistic. I guess most people are looking for a magic pill. I wish I had one, I would sell it to you and we would both be happy. However, to get the results you see it takes committment, dedication, and hard work. You have to know pain in order to know gain and most of that is a mental game. There is also a programming element,, you have to train smarter not harder.
It is because of our base that we are doing this everyday. Those people who have come to understand that they have to do their part in order to be successful. Those who are willing to be responsible for themselves and not look for the magic bullet. Those who enjoy the pursuit of fitness. We will continue to have the the best coaches and the best all around athletes. And I will continue to be amazed everyday at the overall disconnect.
On another note....HAPPY B-DAY Colin. 1 year old today.

Just want to thank those of you who have been dedicated to the gym. It is far from easy and you know who you are. You are there everyday without excuse and that is a true credit to you. Those who have learned how to eat better and have not settled for less.
Thank you!
I am happy to work with you everyday, or provide a place where you can find true fitness.
We have witnessed what happens when you stop! It ain't a pretty site.
Thank you for understanding and doing your best. Have a great weekend!
