Throwdown Videos

I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you to everyone for all the great feedback and comments about Saturday’s Throwdown.  This event was such an amazing experience and I hope the energy carries us through until the next Throwdown in September. 

The theme of the day was to “Raise Your Game” and based on what I am seeing in classes this week that is exactly what this event did.  Even if you were not there on Saturday you can probably feel the changes taking place.  There is a new focus, a new intensity and a greater purpose within the studio.  Members are working harder, taking on new challenges and supporting, motivating and coaching eachother like never before.   There has never been a better time to be a part of what we do in FitCamp than right now.

September will be here before you know it.  Now is the time to use this new energy and purpose to grow.  To strive for more.  To be better.  To make changes.  To eat cleaner.  To push harder.  To support, motivate and inspire eachother.  To take on new challenges.  To commit.  And to ultimately reach your true potential in fitness, sport, health, and life.

The Aftermath

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU…
 
To all those who came to the studio on Saturday to make our first ever FitCamp Throwdown such a huge success.  I must say I never imagined the day would go so amazingly well.  From the start of the very first workout the energy was incredible as freinds, family and supporting FitCampers cheered from the sidelines.  As the 4 events unfolded the motivation has never been so high at the studio as each athlete pushed themselves to the brink and beyond.  By the end of the day it was apparent that this day would be a turning point for many in their own ability and self belief as well as a magnificant personal achievement for all those who participated. 
 
Congratulations to you all and thank you for making this event such an inspiring day for everyone!

Throwdown Events Announced!

Nick and I just finished putting the magical touches on the first 3 WOD’s for Saturday.  These workouts are a compilation of all things FitCamp and will be a blast to do and watch.  We have never done these workouts in class so that should level the playing field for all athletes.  Also, keep in mind that if you see something in the workout that you think “OMG, I can’t do that!” there will be a number of options that will be covered on Saturday morning to ensure all athletes (recreational and competitive) will be able to finish all of these workouts.  This event is meant to be a positive experience for all so don’t stress about a thing.  Just show up, work hard to your own ability and have fun!  The worst that can happen is you get that much fitter!

Corinne, after a job well done!
