Happy Birthday Heidi!!!

Picture-3Happy Birthday Heidi!!!!

Heidi has been our longest running Crossfitter at Crossfit Legacy and she always has a smile on her face….before the workout…LOL.

She has made some amazing progress and I thought it natural to program some Knee to Elbow into the workout so it reminds her of the month she did 5,000 of them.

Heidi is rock solid and a great encourage for the other athletes at Crossfit Legacy.   She frequently lifts the largest loads among the females and holds the Deadlift max at 200lbs for the ladies!!

She said that she is determined to NOT fall apart after 50….an age…many years away..right Heidi?

Thanks for being a part of CF Legacy Heidi!!!!

In Her Own Words!!!

by admin ~ February 6th, 2010

Thanks Michele!!!

Reprinted from Michele Gainer

Michelle Gainer: The totals

Well Margie and I finished my taxes for 09. All of my numbers will go to the accountant tomorrow. I am grateful for the year that I had in Mary Kay and my health. One year ago my TMJ was so bad I could not even open my mouth. My shoulder had been injured in the fall at a gym that I was going to that had no supervision. (Hint…there is a song about it) I started with Dr. Husser in January to correct these problems without surgery. My shoulder would not stay in its socket. The Dr. would “push” it back into the joint when this would happen. I will admit that I did slip and say the F word when he did this for the first time. It was so painful. The TMJ was manually set too. Have you ever had your jaw set? Not fun. My out of pocket expense for this past year was 3022.01 paid to Dr. Husser. Was it worth it? You bet. What made the difference was when I started in Crossfit in August. I informed Brian of my injuries and he worked with me and modified everything so I could heal….and get stronger. During this time my Dr. made the comment “I respect your trainer, he has definitely changed your body without hurting you one time” Brain used me as an example to one class….he had me lay on the ground and he showed them how my shoulder would not lay flat. Overhead squats were out of the question. I can do them now! Sometimes when I get frustrated and feel like it is not moving quickly enough I need to remember where I came from. No shoulder adjustments in 4 months–no jaw adjustments for either. Progress Michelle, not perfection. That’s my motto. Some people have alluded to the fact that Crossfit is expensive….Well add up the numbers. The cost of that gym was 50 per month. When I add in all the medical fees associated with no trainer, no supervision, no encouragement, and no results it comes up to 301.84 per month. Not to mention the time and energy.

This is what you will get with Brian Yoak at Crossfit:

We’re not your average “$50/month” gym.

We’re nothing like a $50/month gym.

We are a training center.

We train you for

–life

–sport

–work

–the unexpected.

We are qualified to teach and train Crossfit movements by Crossfit HQ and have extensive experience training both the fittest people on the planet and most deconditioned person in our back yard. In addition, we are college educated in Athletic Training, Personal Training, Kettlebells, Speed/ Agility,  and Sports Performance.


We were the first Crossfit Affiliate in Summit County and one of the first in Ohio

Each workout session, you’ll get an extended warm-up with instructionskill work, and the familiar CrossFit Workout of the Day. With QUALITY and EXPERIENCED coaching to ensure safety, form, and maximum effort–our coaching is worth far more than what you pay for it.

CrossFit workouts are an event that you must experience to understand.

Our members say things like

“I can’t believe I wasted all that money at a regular gym.”

and, “I can’t ever imagine going back to a regular gym”

or, “I am doing things I never thought I would be able to do.”

Our high school/collegiate athletes are more fit and stronger than their teammates. They have more power, endurance, agility and have fewer injuries than their competitors.

If money is all you look at, then you may be missing out.    Because you have to ask yourself, “Am I willing to pay a little more now, so that I can do the things I want to later, or do I want to pay less, and still be in the same situation in 5 years?”

It’s your choice.

Why settle for less?

Really.  You get what you pay for!!

Lots of Snatches!!!

by admin ~ February 6th, 2010

DSCN2227It did not look that hard written on the “white board.”  That was a statement made by a few people this past Friday morning AFTER the workout was complete.

With built in rest breaks, everyone thought, “Ya, this will be a good Friday workout.”

Rather, it left some wondering if they could make it through and others looking for the bucket!!!

Special mention goes out to Wayne who was paired up with Eric.  Wayne has been with us for a few months now and has made tremendous progress.   In addition to hanging with Eric throughout the workout, he always brings a smile to the gym and a quick remark to make me laugh in the morning.  Thanks for being a part of Crossfit Legacy Wayne!!

Workout of the Day

7 Snatches(85lb)

7 Burpee

12 Rounds

Thanks TooMuch!!

DSCN2212Today’s workout comes courtesy of Charlie Dunifer, 2009 Crossfit Games Competitor and soon to be Crossfit Legacy trainer!!!

In programming for the week, I decided that we would do some kettlebell work on Thursday, but was hesitant to replicate moves 2 days in a row.

Seeing the need to really challenge our athletes and that life is rarely predictable, Crossfit Legacy athletes had box jumps two days in a row!!

Check out Tom here….he really pushed through to the end!!  Great work!   His position pretty much somes up the workout for most people today!

If you don’t feel like this after a workout, your probably not working hard enough!

If your a member of Facebook, check out the Crossfit Legacy fan Page!!!  More pictures are uploaded weekly to that page!

Workout of the Day

Thruster(65/45lb)

Row Your Boats!!

by admin ~ February 3rd, 2010

Ok…Aaron has requested this to be added to either our warm-ups or our workout.   Thoughts?

Now, anyone who really really feels they cannot live without this device, please let me know, and I will see what I can do about getting you one to enjoy at your leisure.

Congrats to Michele this morning.  She is not texting while working on the GHD, although I kind of thought that right before she started performing reps.  She is actually timing herself.  Check out the board behind her.   You see the “50 GHD sit-up” block?   Her previous time was 2:49, however, it now says 2:25 as she beat her previous mark.  Great effort Michele!!!


Workout of the Day

500m Row

..then perform 5 rounds of the triplet..

15 Pull-up

15 Window Wiper

15 Box Jump

..Finish with 500m Row
