Without any designated rest periods after each 400m, I don't see how this isn;t just " run as far as possible in 20mins"

Great level one cert at Crossfit Southside in Jacksonville this weekend! Had some of the best instructors that I learned a lot from and had some good laughs with too. Thanks for a great weekend!

Great workout!

My life = Jesus and Crossfit !

So it's run 400 M and then 3 rounds of pullups, pushups and squats and repeat AMRAP in 20 minutes. Took a moment, but got it. Sounds awesome.

A special thank you to the Seminar Staff Crew that came out to Fort Leavenworth for the Level I cert. A fantastic group of professionals and experts who mixed humor and knowledge into an incredible couple days of training. If you are out there and thinking about going to a Level I but just are not sure, do it. You will be so happy you did.

Awesome level one class here in Chicago. Thanks so much to our great instructors from HQ and Rudy for be our gracious host.

I want to marry that Lady. She looks great for age 42.

Awesome seminar at CrossFit KOP in Bridgeport, PA.

Excellent teaching from all the instructors, and a great experience overall. More than worth the money. Thank you guys again for your hard work and great coaching!

I feel bad for all the other level 1 classes, just because they were at Trident Crossfit in Alexandria, Va. Big ups to Chuck, Maggie, Nicole, Gretchen, Joe, Mike, Chriss, and Andrea for a great weekend. See you out there!

Thanks to Mike G, the rest of the trainers and the staff at Crossfit King of Prussia for a great level I course this weekend, well worth the time!

Thanks you level 1 trainers at CFNZ had an amazing wkd!! :D

Great time at the Fort Leavenworth L1 certification. The trainers were all outstanding. I couldn't have asked for a better group. This weekend is something I will remember for a long time. Thank you so much.

I just finished the Level 1 Training in Chicago and had NEVER set foot in a CrossFit gym before Saturday. Joe's team was awesome! They were so helpful and made all the information easy to understand and their passion for what they do was infectious. This team was a true demonstration of VIRTUOSITY!

Crossfit Park City cert this weekend was the best fitness experience I have ever had. Chris and the crew were unbelievably awesome. Can't express how much I appreciate them. Motivated heading forward in my fitness because of them.
Thanks again Park City!

Awesome Level 1 at CrossFit Max Effort in Las Vegas. All of the trainers were incredibly knowledgeable and the lectures were fun and engaging. I learned more than I hoped for, including how great Zach's magazines are, and it was a great overall experience!

A huge Thank you to all the trainers at the King of Prussia Level 1! Tons of knowledge and fun, just an awesome couple of days.

I'll second the props to the Leavenworth crew! Awesome job by Miranda, Joe, Doug, James, Mel & Jason. They made it fun, imparted a boatload of knowledge, and really set a great example for effective small group instruction. I learned a ton, both as and athlete and trainer. Thanks much!

The seminar staff at the Level 1 class at CrossFit Southside in Jacksonville, FL was amazing. The two days were packed with great training and lectures. The time went by so quickly! I wish there had been a bit more time for the snatch and muscle up sessions, but I know the second day is a little tighter with the test at the end. Overall, it was definitely an awesome experience. Thanks to all of the seminar staff for sharing your time and knowledge.

Big shout out to the Level 1cert at Trident Crossfit. Supportive, informative, motivating, and fun as hell to be around. Thanks to Trident for a great facility, you guys kicked major ass!

Awesome level 1 class @ Crossfit Max Effort in Las Vegas. Unforgettable experience....great job to all the seminar trainers you guys are undeniable the Best!

A big thank you to CrossFit Chicago and all the seminar staff for a great level 1 cert. I am real excited to incorporate what I learned.

Awesome Level 1 at Trident CrossFit in Alexandria, VA. All the coaches / trainers were great. They all were knowledgeable and taught me a ton. The lectures were very engaging. I couldn't recommend the class, instructors or host site any more. I am very excited about my continued journey in the world of CrossFit.

Thanks to all the Seminar staff in DALLAS TX.......Spencer,Sarah,Chase,Lance,Russell and Gale......Had a blast!

Big time performance by the crew running the Level 1 in Chicago this weekend! Joe, Spencer, Jesse, Rory, Lindsey & Abi, thanks for for being so engaging, enthusiastic and for the tremendous wealth of knowledge shared. What a great time and fantastic course. All the best.

Just got home from the Level 1 Cert Course. It awesome learning from such knowledgeable individuals. Oh and I PR'd in Fran and first strict muscle up!

I don't like being that guy, but I don't see a lot of great form with the squats in that video.

GF broke up with me today. Can't wait to get at this wod at 5am to start a new day. Thank you Crossfit for always getting me through the rough times.

Thanks to the instructors at our Level 1 cert in Leavenworth/Iron Cross CF/Harney. All our our staff obviously loves what they do and they're amazing ambassadors for the Sport of Fitness we all love. They helped me achieve my Level 1 goal & inspired me to become a better athlete and coach all within the weekend. Plus they're a lot of fun & genuine people...great work guys.

CrossFit Level 1 class at Trident CrossFit in Alexandria, VA was an awesome course! The trainers rocked it this weekend! The instruction, both lecture and hands-on, was outstanding. The trainers were very knowledgable in the material, and were able to take a complex subject and break it down in a very comprehensible manner. Also, Trident CrossFit was a great box! It was clean and well organized with lots of space. Overall my experience was a 10!

I will add to the shout outs for the CrossFit Chicago crew. Their energy and enthusiasm was contagious. The depth of knowledge was impressive, but their ability to pass that knowledge on to us in such an easily understandable method was even more impressive. Super stoked that I finally got to this seminar - exceeded expectations by far. Thanks to Joe, Jesse, Abi, Rory, Lindsey and Spender, as well as to Rudy, for hosting such a superb seminar. My only wish was that I had done this sooner in my CrossFit journey!

Great instructors For the level 1 certification at CrossFit Max Effort in Las Vegas. Erik Preston , Kimmie, Lee, Dave, Zach, Michele( btw I was the one that whistled while you were squatting, With perfect form of course!!!) And the other two guys I'm sorry I forgot your names.

Amazing Level 1 Cert at Crossfit Chicago: Joe, Spencer, Jesse, Rory, Lindsey & Abi you guys kicked butt and I learned a ton! Amazing job. I'm so excited to take back everything I learned to my box and apply it to our athletes. In my opinion, Jesse won the coaching "best style" award while "best enthusiasm" went to Abi and Rory. Great weekend all around. Thanks again!

Level 1 at crossfit max effort was an incredible experience! It was everything I expected and more. The staff was incredibly professional. I'd say they are doing the common uncommonly well!

Amazing level 1 class in Fort Leavenworth, KS! Instructors were phenomenal...so knowledgeable, friendly, helpful...thank you very much. It was a great learning opportunity.

Great L1 in Dallas this weekend! The staff was knowledgeable and great teachers. If you get a chance to take the course, do it. Many thanks to Russell and his crew.

Great Level 1 seminar at Crossfit Max Effort these last two days. Looking forward to getting back into the box and helping to spread the great knowledge from the trainers. Thanks again

As per usual Trident hosted a top notch event with the L1 Cert. The staff was energetic, methodical, efficient, approachable and an all out good time-not to mention superb examples of coaching to aspire to. I could have gone longer than two days. Thanks to the trainers; Chuck, Andrea, Chriss, Joe, Gretchen, Maggie, and Nicole, and an awesome group of participants.

CrossFit USD Level 1 Seminar was awesome! Thanks to the whole crew for a great weekend! Shout out Stephanie Rocket!!!!

I fell in love! In love with Crossfit all over again. And in love with these amazing coaches that I can only hope to someday resemble in my own affiliate. I'm exhausted in the way that can only come from having the experience of a lifetime. Crossfit Max Effort-I will never forget you! Thank you!

Had an amazing time at the level 1 cert in Leavenworth this weekend. Couldn't imagine a better staff to have as trainers. A huge thank you to each of you!

Wow oh wow, the team of Danny, Doug, Taryn and Stacey that travelled to NZ to conduct the level 1 were incredible. Thank you all so much.
I personally learnt heaps and know this will help me in my CrossFit journey.
In all my years of attending various courses this has to rank at top of the pile in structure, delivery, content, methodology etc. five star plus rating all round!

Amazing weekend at Trident CrossFit!! Trainers were on the money and lectures were presented in an engaging and sequential manor. Special thanks to Chris's and Gretchen for getting to my 1st muscle up with about 3 seconds of good cueing! I had a blast!

Incredible Level 1 seminar and experience this weekend with our trainers; Chuck, Andrea, Chriss, Joe, Gretchen, Maggie, and Nicole, and host box at Trident Crossfit.

I did Cindy tonight before I saw this was posted, so I didn't do the 400m run. It is only my second week back to working out again, so I am pleased to have improved by 7 rounds from last week. I did 22 rounds in 20 mins. woot. Hope to be in the high 20's by the end of December.

Incredible weekend at CrossFit Park City for our level 1. Spealler, Hollis, Pat Barber, Austin and Katie H were such motivating, knowledgable and down to earth people! It was so worth our trip out from Jersey!!

Shout out to the Level Cert Coaches in Las Vegas at Max Effort - Erik, Zach, Michele, Kimmy, Dave, Johnny, Lee, Chris - so much information and inspiration shared. Thank you!

Awesome Level 1 Course at CFNZ. Thanks so much you guys, it was a great weekend!

Awesome!! My kids always come with me to the gym. They love it and its great to let them see dad working hard like that!

Thank you to the Crossfit Max Effort in Las Vegas and to Erik and the entire staff for a great level 1 course! You all rock :)

Great time at the Level 1 course at CrossFit MaxEffort in Las Vegas. Trainers were great, very impressed with everything throughout the weekend. Would recommend to anyone looking to get more serious about training / coaching.

Virtuosity! Explains the level 1 cert course at Max Effort in Vegas in one word. The coaches did and excellent job presenting the information and growing our bag of tricks! Special props to Chris and Michele, thanks for the discussion! Erik and his crew = Maximum Intensity

HUGE thanks to the crew at the Park City Level 1 course this weekend. In years of fitness and more than a decade of military training, I have never been to a more professional, informative and fun training course. In addition to being masters of your craft, you guys really enjoy what you do - and it shows. The jury is still out on whether Hollis or Katie make a better "demo girl" - but the whole crew was as hilarious as they were impressive. Can't imagine a better weekend.

Awesome weekend at Level 1 Crossfit Trident Alexandria VA. Great coaching from the entire Crossfit staff, personal thanks to Maggie, Nicole, Chuck and Chriss for all the encouragment and BIG thanks to Chriss and Andrea for making us all feel so welcome in thier home, Great box! Awesome learning experience!!

So it's:

Run 400m

5 Pull-ups
10 Push-ups
15 Squats
5 Pull-ups
10 Push-ups
15 Squats
5 Pull-ups
10 Push-ups
15 Squats

etc for 20min AMRAP (repeat the above sequence As Many Rounds (times) As Possible in 20 min for the newcomers).

At first I thought there was only one 400m run, but unless I'm corrected I'll be counting 400m, 15 total pull ups, 30 total pushups, and 45 total squats as one round and repeating that as many times as possible. Sorry if I'm just stating the obvious to most of you, but it took me a bit to figure out (new to CF) and I thought I'd clarify even if just for myself.

Lvl1 training @CrossFit MaxEffort- first off, thank you to Zach Forest for hosting this training at Max Effort. Second, Thank you to CrossFit HQ for providing, through their amazing coaches, the most amazing and personal experience I have ever had at any event. Thank you coaches especially Lee, Erik, Michelle, kimmey and Zack!!!

So I used to do crossfit way back in the day. Just now coming back to it. Today was my first wod just want to here what u all thought I did 9 rounds in the time limit. Is that good bad ok what. Thank you

Wow I've only been doing crossfit for a couple of days!! My lil bro is my inspiration & I drive him crazy daily with my questions & scaling queries. Well I read the WOD the wrong way. Myself & my 10yr old son ran as many 400m as we could in 20min then did 3 cycles of 5pull ups, 10 push ups & 15 squats. We are both feeling it tonight after Saturdays WOD where in his terms he dominated his mum :)

A running Cindy, that is a BA WOD. Can't wait to Crush.

@Spartan: Using your own bodyweight sounds easy. I go for 4 rounds minimum. I only have the problem that I have to walk a minute in the gym to do the pull up and go back to do the run in the cardiohall..

A massive thank you to all the coaches/instructors at the CrossFit Central London Level 1 course for a brilliant weekend! Ta very much guys- you were all great!

WOW CFNashville level 1 cert ROCKED this weekend. Far exceeded all expectations I had preconceived about the course. Killer energy from all the instructors with a shout out to Jordan, Zack, Neil, Cherie, and Matt.

We had some amazingly fit, knowledgeable, personable, easily approachable, and incredibly patient instructors. MY hats off to Crossfit corporate for putting together such an incredible group of instructors.

I would recommend this opportunity to anyone who enjoys crossfit athletics no matter what your capacity might be.

Had an amazing experience this past weekend with the Chicago seminar staff! A big thank you to Joe, Spencer, Rory, Lindsey, Abi, Jesse and Rudy for being a great host! You were all fantastic instructors and a true testament of virtuosity.

Special Thank you to "Jesse"! The man found a slight fault on my squat(not using power from my hips when moving up) which was crucial later in the day when I did "FRAN". Used that small cue with the thrusters to PR at 3:10!

@#33, Brian:

Your comment is my favorite. I love it when my little siblings WOD with me.

CROSSFIT TRIDENT & the Seminar Staff you guys CRUSHED IT!!! One of the most entertaining, informative, interactive, and fun classes I've ever been a part of. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME AND KNOWLEDGE!!!!

The level 1 certification course at Crossfit Trident was AWESOME. In two days - I have walked away with a better understanding of what Crossfit is and what Crossfit can do for anyone that is willing to give it a try. The coaches, the facilities and the students were a perfect combination of what Crossfit is all about IMO. Each person added value to the course and I learned an invaluable amount of information (tips) that will not only help in my training, but in my ability to coach others at my box - Crossfit West Springfield.

Thanks to the crew. Fort Leavenworth.

Jacksonville Southside Level 1 was amazing this weekend. As an educator I was so impressed with how engaged the instructors were at all times. Great coaching was modeled in the WOD and teaching was going on at all times. Hats off to Justin, Chris, Leah, Nuno, Austin and Austin. You guys were professional and entertaining and obvious masters of your craft. Come visit us in Savannah and see what is quite possibly the first K-12 Physical Education program in the nation fully dedicated to the Crossfit Methodology.

Awesome job by Ft Leavenworth crew! Great content from Miranda and rest of team, truly passionate about Crossfit and it shows in how they approached each of the days. Thanks for sharing the knowledge, can't wait to put it to use!!!

Awesome job by the seminar trainers who ran the CrossFit Nashville level one. Matt, Cherie, Neal, Zac and Jordan are definitely the A Team.

An amazing weekend in Alexandria Va. Thanks to Andrea and Chriss for opening Trident Crossfit to us. Maggie, Gretchen, and Joe were patient, informative and encouraging.

A huge thanks to Chuck and Nicole for lending a non-judgemental ear. I greatly appreciated the brief conversation I had them.

Shout Out To Crossfit Nashville Team... The BEST and most FAVORITE part was Cherie Chan....Absolutely an amazing person inside and out. Her Passion and Love of Crossfit and How it impacts the community is inspiring. She teaches what Truly Crossfit is about. Changing Lives... Thanks Cherie and keep up the great work.
I can't think of one thing that I would change. You are talented with a heart :) What an awesome combination... Thanks is not enough. Renee'

The Crossfit Park City Cert was amazing. Incredible instruction and teaching from all the instructors. I was a Spealler fan before, now I am just as impressed with him as a teacher and coach as I am with him as an athlete. Truly a "Crossfit life changing experience". Thanks!!

Got back home from the CF Level 1 Seminar at CrossFit Southside in Jacksonville, FL last night and I couldn't be more excited about everything that I learned from my excellent HQ trainers - Leah, Justin, Austin, Nuno, Austin, & Chris. Y'all are awesome! Keep it up, guys. I had a great time :)

Rx'd 3 full rounds 19:55

Awesome weekend at the Level 1 at Fort Leavenworth. Miranda, Mel, Doug, Jason and Joe were fantastic. So excited to coach, train and continue to be an active part of our community. Thank you! You guys are always welcome CrossFit Memorial Hill.

Great way to start the day

Dear (in no particular order) Justin, Austin M., Austin S., Chris, Leah, and Nuno,

There's a good reason why I remembered all of your names: you guys did a FANTASTIC job this weekend. Two things I learned and will definitely take away from this weekend: Chris's snatch cue to encourage full hip extension: "jump and pull the bar onto your stomach," and Austin M.'s MU cue: "pull to your sternum" (and not your upper chest). Loved it -- Awesome cert @ CF Southside in Jacksonville, FL!

Thanks for your hard work and enthusiasm. See you soon ;)

The Level 1 Cert Course at Crossfit Chicago was by far one of my favorite training experiences to date. To be able to converse with great minds like Joe DeGain, Jesse Ward, and Lindsay Smith has led me to work harder towards virtuosity. The experience of Spencer Hendel, Rory Zambard, and Abi Grove has given me dozens of new ques to help my clients lives become more functional. My favorite que goes out to Joe with his jack-hammering halloween cat though. Great weekend and worth every penny.

Had an amazing time at the Level 1 seminar at CrossFit Nashville and learned a ton!

Cherie: Your intensity and dedication to all things CrossFit is amazing and can never be replicated by anyone else. You're an excellent teacher and coach.

Matt: Your enthusiasm that is communicated through your presentation style as well as your never-ending patience in your coaching style is awesome. Your explanations are simple, clear, and concise.

Neal: Your eye for perfect form as well as your ability to demonstrate that same form every time without fail is fantastic. Your tips and advice were extremely helpful in correcting some faults that I've struggled with for a while.

Zac: I hate to play favorites, but I enjoyed your teaching style the best. Your laid-back attitude (while still being professional) made lecture and break-out extremely fun but very informative. Plus, anybody who can make a group of 20+ people unknowingly recreate a scene from Karate Kid is a great teacher. lol

Jordan: You were an awesome intern and I know that you will, without a doubt, be a stellar coach when you get your red shirt. Your cues and tips helped out so much. P.S. The hair is going to look great!

All of the coaches this weekend were phenomenal at what they do and are excellent representations of what CrossFit is and what it stands for!

To my fellow athletes: Thank you so much for the encouragement, spots, cues, and advice that I was given this weekend. You guys will all make amazing trainers.

Finally, a big thanks to Crossfit Nashville and Preston Soechting for hosting the event. You have an awesome facility.

Best of luck with everyone's fitness pursuits.
Keep it functional, keep it varied, and (most of all) keep it intense!

God Bless,
Josh

missed yesterday, so I did yesterdays snatch workout, long break, then did todays as Rx'd, completed 3 rds

f/43/180/5'10"

2 rounds, 400m, 15 pullups, 22 pushups, 30 squats

I'm a little embarrassed by this but I am positive that my pushups were very strict.... slow, and broken but there was NO SNAKING.

pushups are now my weakness in Cindy... it used to be the pullups.

Haven't crossfitted for over a month, so eased back in by doing 2 rounds in 13:18

Got through 4 full rounds and got to about 100 meters on the run in the 20 minute AMRAP.

Great WOD! Kicked my butt!

Did 5 pulldowns instead of pullups (logistics)

m/44/5'10"/154

3 rounds + 200m

Pull-ups definitely my sticking point at the moment. I feel like I know what all that rowing on Saturday was about now: upper back currently feels like it's been worked over with a baseball bat!

If anyone has tips for building up the pull-up, please feel free to share!

Great Level 1 Cert this weekend at Crossfit KOP. Completely well worth the money and time. The trainers were so knowledgeable and hands on. Mike, Jon, Rob, Jenn, and Aimee made the weekend not only educational but fun! Great job guys. I'm even more obsessed with crossfit than I was before. =)

Crossfit Level 1 Cert at Trident this past weekend was an incredible learning experience. A BIG THANK YOU to the instructors: Chuck, Andrea, Chriss, Nicole, Maggie, Joe, and Gretchen. All of you are very inspirational and incredible trainers and athletes. The course was interesting, engaging, and really informative- I learned a lot about how to teach and train others and also on refining my own form. Thank you so much!!

Level 1 Seminar at Crossfit Nashville. I agree so much with what Josh said.

Our coaches were freakin' AWESOME! Cherie has the best attitude and intensity along with her hubby, Matt. I see why you are a great match and why he does so well at the games, you dont let him settle for less! Nor would you let us settle. Also, thanks for the story about what CF really is, that is a great reminder!
Neal, what else is there to say but, wow! You are a steller eaxample of a coach in CF. What you teach is what you do!
Zach, dude you're just freakin cool as all get out! I loved being coached by you, you are very real!
Jordan, You did fantastic! encouraging and yet pinpoint instruction! the red shirt is yours soon!

Preston, gret box. thanks for being a gracious host!

I loved the weekend. I PR'd on Fran, 2:54 (heck yeah) and got personal coaching on getting my first strict MU from Neal Maddox!

angry at myself on this one, 3 rounds in 15 min but looking at another 40 24" box jumps(my run sub as I did not want to run laps around an NCAA basketball court) without anyone pushing me on killed it.

That ruined it.

Love it that just when I decided I wanted to focus on bodyweight for some time due to limited weights (can't go heavier because I ran out of plates and I'm not progressing anymore!) CF HQ comes along with a WOD like this.

Yet it was a terrible idea to sub rowing for running - I still had to run up and down the stairs to get to the C2 and my arms got tired quickly. My excuse for not finishing round 4.

Was shooting for 5 rounds, but just didn't push hard enough in the early rounds. My Cindy rounds were just too slow at the beginning - by the end, I felt like I was in a better groove. Probably could have pushed harder on the runs too - was coming in 100-120s - but there is no place to hide in this WOD. Unbroken on all except one of the pushup sets (mental fatigue).

We truly appreciate your commitment and dedication to this sport and for taking time out of your busy lives to share your knowledge. Also...there was 1 more guy helping you guys out this weekend (don't remember his name, wasn't wearing a "red shirt") BUT-he did an AWESOME job!!!!! So helpful and encouraging.

Great WOD!!

I attended the Level 1 Seminar in Chicago this weekend and was absolutely shocked. I was one of the only people there that was not a trainer or a coach or that doesn't plan on being one in the future so I thought I was going to be a bit out of place and perhaps under prepared. I took the course to gain knowledge for myself and to help further my training and ultimately my fitness. I had no idea the course was going to be that in-depth and educational while at the same time being an absolute blast. Joe, Spencer, Jesse, Rory, Lindsey and Abi should be commended on their incredible ability to teach nearly 60 people that much information over a two day period. It was so laid back, seamless, and fun that I couldn't wait to get back after day 1. A huge thanks to Rudy and CrossFit Chicago for making all of us feel welcome and comfortable. I feel lucky to have had the chance to attend this course and want to thank everyone involved in making it such an amazing experience.

Awesome class, awesome trainers, awesome weekend! Great time!!!

We hit the jackpot! Two of my girlfriends and I traveled from New Jersey to Park City for our Level 1. It was an experience that cannot be put into words; our trainers were top notch! Chris, Katie, Pat, Hollis and Austin worked so incredibly well together to deliver information to the group that was real and passionate. There was nothing that could have made for a better weekend.....thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Hey guys! First of all I can't get the pic to enlarge, the problem is on your end I think.

Second, I attended the Coach's Prep course at Crossfit Ramsay in Calgary AB over the weekend. This was my second Crossfit course this year. For personal budget purposes, I am not taking a winter vacation this year because I decided to take these courses instead. That being said, given the quality of these courses and of the instructors, these courses are just as precious to me as a week on the beach. If not more enjoyable.

Crossfit is very lucky to have people like Adrian Bozman as a part of their organization. He ran a fantastic weekend. His knowledge, experience, and easy going presence were all valuable to me and much appreciated. Todd and the rest of the crew (Jason, Matt) were also great. And to the rest of the participants, you helped my learning as well, so thank you. Can't wait for the oly weekend!

Since November is a month to be thankful, I wanted to be sure to say just that to the amazing coaches (the "A" Team). Cherie, Matt, Neal, Zac, and Jordan at the Nashville Level 1 Cert this past weekend. I am so very thankful for the knowledge they imparted to me and the invaluable experience of having each of them work with me. Each time they made me believe that they truly cared about my improvement. I hope to inspire those I will teach in the future the same way they made me feel in the short time I got to spend with them. I hope I can spread that same feeling of health and community. Thanks, guys. Be well.

Attended Level 1 Cert in Chicago. Essentially my first experience with CrossFit and any sort of olympic lifting for that matter. Joe, Spencer, Jesse, Rory, Lindsey & Abi are all virtuosos.

Special thanks to the crew that visited Fort Leavenworth for this past weekend's CrossFit Level 1 course. They are true professionals and I appreciate their humble approach to teaching and coaching. You guys did a fantastic job!

Amazing Level 1 cert at Crossfit Chicago.

I was thinking it was quite a bit more running in a wod than CF mainsite usually does....

The Alexandria CF Level 1 this past weekend was awesome.

The material, instruction, instructors, and facility exceeded all of my expectations. The science supported the CF methodology. The training was rooted in fundamentals and progressive adaptation. The nutrition model supports optimal performance. The trainers were patient, encouraging, and supportive. The trainers knew their material and it was obvious they were 'living' the CF lifestyle.

Thank You Chuck, Chriss, Andrea, Maggie, Nicole, Gretchen, and Joe!

Thanks,

I first want to state that I have huge respect for Mr. Blauer and appreciate all he does. Although, I am questioning the statement he made in the video that "intensity trumps technique." I agree that this is probably true in all aspects of a fight or self-defense situation, but it seems to contradict what I have learned and been taught about crossfit. In crossfit, is the evolution not form, efficiency, intensity, respectively? I would really like to hear multiple opinions on this, I am more than open minded. Thanks

We're working to bring the other two into the CF fold . . . LOL . . .

Level 1 at CF Charlotte was an AMAZING experience. I was doing things I hadn't done since fundamentals three years ago. I also found that without coaches, we could fall into some of the same faults we are trying to keep our clients from. SO thanks to form nazi Christmas, and Courtney for your entertaining jargon. Group 5 members really are going to start a glossary of this crossfit terminology butt wink, a$$ trampoline ect. We are also going to remember our money makers as well. :) I swear I will not celebrate prematurely :) These tools are all so useful. You all made learning to teach fundamentals very entertaining, and hard to forget! Which is important. Thanks Pat for a great nutrition segment and fun with muscle up progressions! Thanks Joe for putting information in a concise and easy manner that didn't bog us down with too much terminology. Thanks to our host Coach A for graciously allowing us to use his box. For being an epic speciman of crossfit that disproves the notion that age can play a factor in fitness. You truly are amazing! You all are AMAZEBALLS!!!
I just wish see our picture! my computer is conspiring against me and I can't enlarge it. Is anyone else having that problem?

I attended the level 1 cert course in Park City, UT this last weekend. Let me just say...when i first thought of signing up, I was hesitant to spend that much money for two days of class. After being at the class, I can say that it was completely worth the money and time!! I learned soooo much and had so much fun. Chris, Pat, Hollis, Austin, and Katie were incredible teachers/coaches. They engaged everyone and made us all feel welcome and confident. I think we were spoiled rotten with them all there...and i would recommend the course to anyone!! whether or not you intend to train, it is a must!!

Thanks for an awesome course in Jacksonville last weekend! Felt like I learned a lot, and my technique has significantly improved this week, as well as my ability to properly instruct some classes. Thanks so much again!

The level 1 Crossfit Chicago course was one of the most humbling experience I ha ve had since I became a personal trainer. Would really like to thank Joe, Abi, spencer, Lindsey, Rory, and Jesse. You guys really got the best out of me and can't wait to apply it to my clients and my own training regiment.

I want to give a HUGE shout out to the CrossFit Park City Level One Seminar Staff. The whole staff - Chris, Pat, Katie, Austin, and Hollis were impressive in every aspect of their instruction. Lectures were interesting and engaging, and group instruction was very interactive. I was getting instruction from the very best and it is a learning experience that I will take with me and remember for a long, long time. These people are not just great athletes but unbelievable teachers and and speakers. I can't imagine having a better staff. Thanks for all te laughs and great instruction!!!!
