*Last Week of Testing @ Vagabond*
We will be finishing up our last week of testing on Friday, and will be preparing for our new templates for our Lifestyle and Fitness Phase for next week. This was our first week of testing for our Lifestyle Phase, so we our finally starting to collect some data on this Phase of Training. The Fitness Phase had some big improvements and we saw some great strides in our pulling strength and posterior chain development through our Deadlift numbers. We also saw a huge improvement in our lactate work, as our 1000 meter row times were improved dramatically through our lactate and also our aerobic training. We tested another aerobic power tester, and within 3 months we will re-test this same workout again to see where we stand compared to Thursday, January 10th. Overall congrats to everyone and keep up the good work!
Vagabond CrossFit On Ramp Beginners Class Starts Monday, January 28th, 2013. Contact us for more information and to sign up. These sell out fast, so get in contact as soon as possible to reserve your spot today.*
On Ramp is a prerequisite and will prepare you to safely complete a regular class. These classes run 3 times a week for two weeks. The next open on ramp will begin January 28th. There are no more than 4-6 people per session so that we can ensure our athletes get the attention they need and can graduate feeling confident in their ability and knowledge of CrossFit. If you would rather complete the On Ramp individually or if these days and times don’t work for you, then we have a 5 session personal training option as well. These personal training sessions will also prepare you in movements and progressions like the class. If you are not sure which is the best path for you to take in order to reach your fitness goals please call us and make a free appointment for and assessment with one of our certified trainers.
