Philosophy
Exercise has been proven to have a tremendous impact on improving our health. Proper exercise will improve strength, energy levels and self esteem, impacting the overall quality of life.
It is our first priority to provide the best training possible for our clients. For some clients who trained at the first gym may rememeber our tag line used to be "It's a journey not a destination". This still holds true and at this time the journey has led us to Crossfit. The basic principles of Crossfit are very similar to what we have been using for years in that it is a form of high intensity exercise using functional movements which require a maximal amount of muscle mass and because of their intensity must, in most cases, be brief ( 30 minutes or less). The main differences are that we now mostly utilize free weights and body weight exercises versus machines.
The workouts have proven to be effective around the country and we have begun seeing some impressive results even from clients who have already been training with us for some time. The other thing Crossfit has been very successful in doing across the country and is to develop a sense of community and physical culture. The goal is to change peoples lives and the only way to really do that is to help people make long term lifestyle changes. The community of Focused Fitness and Crossfit will hopefully help clients do just that. The small group workouts and semi- private sessions are designed to foster even more of that sense of community and comraderie. The group classes also allow us to offer more training opportunities per week to those who want more for a nominal fee added to their current membership plan.
In addition to exercise, we provide an individualized nutrition program and opportunities to attend seminars conducted by registered dietitians, nutritionists and health educators on proper nutrition. We also offer Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes at our 600 Laurens Road location - all of which is designed to enhance the mind/body connection and reduce stress.
