When a potential client calls and asks us ‘are you a CrossFit or Hyrox gym?’ Or ‘do you do functional training?’ Or ‘do you have HIIT workouts?’, my answer is: ‘We borrow and steal elements from anything and everything to get the job done while avoiding labels for ourselves’.
Labels are useful and familiar. But labels are also limiting. Our approach is straightforward. Why get tethered or anchored down to one label?
As a coach, I want the option to use isometrics, concentric, eccentrics, plyometrics, loaded stretching, eccentric, different zones, powerlifting, conditioning, weightlifting and pretty much any tool we think would be most useful for our clients and get them to their goals ASAP.
Takeaway
I run a training space. As a client, you have a goal or goals. We have tools, moves and a clock to get you there. We want to use everything we can to get the job done without worrying about what to call ourselves.
