I'm a very competitive person. When the clock is ticking during a workout, my mind is constantly focused on getting the best time. If someone gets ahead of me, I go nuts trying to catch up. One thing I try to never lose site of, however, is quality of movement. You can't compare times or compete with your friends if you all aren't doing the same workout. When one guy is going chest to the bar with his pull-ups, and the guy next to him is only doing chin above the bar, it's not the same workout. It's very hard to slow down and make every rep beautiful, but it's something we should all be doing. Click on the link below to read an article on quality from Gym Jones. Keep it in mind the next time you walk through the door of your gym.
About Me
- Mr Ken
- My fitness career started at 24 Hour Fitness back in 2005. Over the course of my 15 months or so of gainful employment there, I earned two national fitness certifications (ACE & NASM). My passion for all things fitness and the well being of my clients left me in conflict with the management, who's sole purpose in life was to get me to sell more training, without regard to what was best for the client. Due to this conflict of interest, I left and sought out Kevin Aillaud the owner of Crossfit HEL. He was a coworker of mine from my first days at 24 Hour, and the one who introduced me to Crossfit originally. At Crossfit HEL I have found a wonderful fitness community and the ideal environment for me to train in. In my opinion, Crossfit is the best training program available today, and Crossfit HEL is the place to train for anyone looking to get more out of every workout. Shortly after I started coaching there I earned my Crossfit Level 1 Certification, Crossfit Nutrition Certification, and I'm working towards my Level 2.
