Why “working out” almost never works

November 18th, 2009

Hey gang! Coach Jeff here,

Most people work out to look better -BUT IT ALMOST NEVER WORKS!
This is because most people think of working out as a chore, and looking better as their goal.
The fitness industry hasn’t figured it out either! They tell you that you should.
They tell you that you won’t look good if you don’t. They tell you “skinny” equals “fit”!
They give you a boring, machine-based isolation routine, and after 45 minutes on weights,
and 45 minutes on an elliptical trainer, you’ve wasted a 2 hour trip to the gym!
-And you have to do it 5 days a week to see decent results!

It’s really no wonder people can’t stay consistent long enough to see
the positive feedback required to develop a healthy habit! But people still
pay good money for their useless “Globo-Gym” memberships!

In case you haven’t heard, working out, changing your body, and basically
becoming a physical badass can now be FUN. And you can get the body of
an athlete as a side effect!

Would I lie about my business? Put my claim to the test!

CrossFit is a game played using your entire body, in community with others,
under the guidance of an experienced Coach.

You and your friends can focus on getting the best scores you can,
and before you know it you have the skills of the physically gifted,
and a more athletic physique as a side effect!

Remember the recess bell as a kid? You went out and PLAYED!
You stayed in shape because it was fun.
And you never thought you were “working out”, but you were!

My service provides that kind of environment, but with so much more.
Ask ANY of my current clients and they will tell you it is fun.
The workouts are always different. But you will come to love the consistency
of the gaming-based format. You can always try for one more point,
one more pound lifted, or to be one second faster than before.
And you can try to beat your friends too!

For the next month I will be offering the first week of my Initiation course for free.
All you need to do is contact me and I’ll set you up -it’s that simple.

IN JUST A FEW HOURS A WEEK, YOU WILL:
-Turn your fitness routine into a game or hobby, not just a means to an end.
-Master your body in ways you never thought possible.
-Transform your body in weeks. People will ask you what you’ve been doing!
-Develop discipline and mental fortitude useful in all of life’s challenges.
-Improve sports performance.
-Share life with others, while building one another up.
-Constantly improve your readiness for life’s demands, which are unknown.

Currently I’m starting morning and evening Initiation courses, so round up your friends,
and get into The Sport of Fitness!
