Kirsty is one of our newer members. She’s already fallen in love with CrossFit and wants to take it into her school where she teaches. She’s doing her CrossFit level one certification at the end of the month and is flying to Brisbane with us next month to do he CrossFit Kids certification – legend! Here is a bit more about Kirsty:
Sports and fitness background: Competitive swimmer for 11 years and water polo player for 8 years. 
 
Profession: Primary Teacher
 
How I got involved with cross fit: Was bored of the gym and unmotivated to go – was recommended cross fit by Blake who convinced me to come along.
 
First WOD: Can’t remember, just remember wanting to throw up.
 
First started coming: Approx September 2012
 
Favorite movement: Deadlift  Least favorite: clean & jerk
 
Goals:
Short term: finish my level 1 and cross fit kids course. Train at least 4 times a week.
Long term: get back to the fitness level I had when swimming and the muscle tone. One day compete in a competition.
 
Biggest accomplishment: Mastering a deadlift, when I first started I was too unco no it’s one of my favorite movements.
 
Something about me: I trailed for the NZ water polo u16 and u18 teams. 
 
Advice: even though you may feel like dying during a WOD they are short enough to get through and 5 minutes after you’re finished when you have your breath back is an awesome feeling.

Wednesday 9 January

The boys getting creative during the holidays.

So good to see everyone back in the cage again, and those who are back next week we cant wait to have you back!

Now as we’re sure you’ve realized, we cover a massive variety of movements in CrossFit – its constantly varied. To get regular exposure to the large amount of  movements we cover you really need to get in the cage a minimum of 3 times per week. To get the most out of the program and to hit all three of our key areas – metabolic conditioning, gymnastics and weight lifting you should be coming in 4-5 times per week. We know this seems like a lot of sessions but hey we want to make fitness part of our lifestyle don’t we? And we can assure you that the sessions are well planned and programmed so that you don’t hit the same movements back to back or over train. If you want to know more about how we program and what our structure looks like please talk to Coach. 

The reason we don’t do tiered memberships but instead allow all members unlimited access to classes is so that you can get in here 3-5 times a week – the way the CrossFit program is intended to work.

Make it a goal this year to get in the cage no less than 3 times a week and watch what happens!
