Bye Nell, Hello New Cylce, Welcome Brandon

So much happening right now!

Highlights for the longer Levo Update Show (new format):

• Tomorrow will be Nell’s last day – be sure to wish her well
• New Cycle is upon us with more Squatting and Olympic Lifting
• Brandon will be starting to coach more classes and Jared and Antoinette will make a slight shift to helping out with more specifics during class
• New Format – Week’s Programming Discussion
  • Monday – Squats and Presses – develop skills from the ground and keep the pushups clean
  • Tuesday – Embrace the grind of the 1:1 work rest ratio… this should be one of the hardest workout of the week – don’t miss the stimulus
  • Wednesday – Overhead Squats – these aren’t going away so understand the progression and fight your chronic issues with neck and/or shoulder problems
  • Thursday – Embrace the Suck… Running Sucks, but only if you don’t know what you are doing or haven’t done enough – today will help with both
  • Friday – Skills, Skills, Skills… this will be great for everyone because everything can be scaled for progression – don’t miss the opportunity to improve as a gymnast!

Good luck and #keepmoving

Dubs, Weights, Comfort, and Cleaning

Hey Sapiens,

Congrats on another great week. Enjoy the Update Show – here are the highlights:

1. Congrats on those who improved or achieved their double-unders. Keep up the grind with all of your progression and don’t forget to celebrate your accomplishments.
2. Weights are coming. Right now they will be more in the conditioning/wod/metcon setting. However, as the gym adapts to “in-facility” training and as we progress to a better state in the fight against COVID-19, we will increase specific times to tackle strength development within class.
3. “Get comfortable with being uncomfortable.” You will hear me and the other coaches saying this. It does not mean get sloppy. Instead, we want you to be solid and confident with your technique while being able to sustain a long period of excursion discomfort. Avoid playing the yo-yo game and start sustaining a solid, sustainable, yet uncomfortable pace. THAT’S WHERE IMPROVEMENT LIVES!!!
4. I LOVE YOU PEOPLE!!! Thank you for all the help in cleaning the gym during and after class. We are all so grateful for you as a community. Your consistent efforts to help the coaching staff with cleaning don’t go unnoticed. Thank you!
5. Because of our efforts as a gym, as well as the fitness industry as a whole, Dr. Page highlighted how gyms have done a great job with following guidelines and attacking the problem of COVID-19 efficiently. This was mentioned during his announcement of restrictions on bars, employment capacity, etc. This is fantastic news regarding our ability to stay open moving forward. Well done!

You know what to do, #keepmoving
