Why not add Personal Training to your Paleo challenge too and really maximise your results:

Paleo Expert and CrossFit Coach Luke Cantrill:

“As a Personal Trainer and Paleo/Nutrition Specialist I can help with all areas of diet, lifestyle and exercise. I have been training clients and pushing them to get the results they want for over 9 years.

Over this time I have constantly worked hard to develop training methods that not only get results in the shortest time possible but results that last long term too!

As a CrossFit coach I use CrossFit as the foundation of all my programs. Ensuring no stone is left unturned in terms of my clients function and overall fitness. Whether you want to get that beach body, tone up, run 5k (or a whole marathon), build some extra muscle or just want all round great fitness, I design a bespoke program just for each client targeting the exact goals and results they want to achieve.

It’s so easy to waste months in a gym putting in the hours and not getting the results you want simply by doing the wrong type of training and unfortunately this is something we see all too often in fitness.

My training is based on what works with a focus on skill and efficiency not “results by volume”. Running a marathon does not require running 50k a week and getting a six pack does not require a 1000 sit-ups a day. But by focusing on the areas you need to you will be amazed at what is possible in such a short amount of time. My training is fun and varied so losing interest is never an issue.”

CONGRATULATIONS STACEY JOSE

During February Stacey Jose decided to take on the 30 Day Paleo Challenge. Over the 30 days this challenge focuses on changing your nutrition to eat like a cave man, this is done by not eating ANY man made products what so ever, just simply consuming all fresh: Meat, Fish, Veg, Fruit, Nuts & Seeds.

Stacey followed the plan 100% and as you can see from her picture she reaped the rewards by stripping body fat and strengthening/toning muscle, the combination of CrossFit training and the Paleo diet go hand in hand, giving you FAST and healthy results!

Stacey’s words:

“Following the Paleo diet has shown me how we should really be eating, the first week was the hardest but having the support of the group throughout the 30 days was key, we exchanged recipes and had the guidance and help of diet coach Luke which made this so much easier, I will definitely now follow this way of eating long term too as I’ve never felt so healthy, it’s given me a clear mind/helped my focus in the afternoons and of course I’m really pleased with the physical changes too as I’ve never had a 6 pack before! I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the coaching team at CrossFit Colchester and most importantly Luke for all his help & support throughout & after the challenge!” 

The 30 Day Paleo Challenge is run monthly by Luke Cantrill who can be found on Facebook by the link below or contact on: 07900088520

CROSSFITTERS UNITE!!!

WOW what a start to 2013….!!!

Our CrossFit Colchester team is growing stronger and stronger every week and we’re not surprised with the incredible group atmosphere created by our team members, they are simply blowing the roof off our building every time we shout GO at the beginning of every WOD!

The best/most unique area of CrossFit is its truly incredible community, no matter what your goals weight loss, strength & conditioning or purely stress relief, you will have a  whole group of people supporting you and encouraging you to push to your limits and achieve things you never knew possible!

Here is a quote from a letter we received this week from a CrossFit Colchester member:

“Thank you to the CrossFit coaching team for all your support and help since I joined, you do not understand/know what you’ve helped me through over the last couple of months outside of fitness. 

When I joined I just wanted somewhere I could go to take my mind off my personal life, however after joining CrossFit this has now become my life as I’ve made so many new friends, all who I know I can trust and rely on, not only has this made me feel better in myself mentally but physically I have never been in such good shape either, people around me now are saying how great I look and “What the hell have you been doing?” this has made me feel like a new person again which I can’t thank you enough for!”

The coaches reply:

“Knowing we can help anyone like this in any shape or form, no matter how big or small the goal may seem to the individual, is exactly what keeps our coaching team motivated and continuing to push forward”

LET”S MAKE 2013 A YEAR TO REMEMBER!!!

Checkout head coach Carl Saville performing a massive 48″ box jump, he is just 5’6 himself making this chest hight and just 2″ short of being world elite….!

Maximum effort static box jumps help produce explosive power and enhance balance, speed & accuracy, so try adding these into your next workout and post your scores:

After the incredible support and all the kind donations in the build up to this mountain of a challenge, our coaching team took to the start line with a fierce look in their eyes and prepared for the biggest test of their lives…….

Only a few people in the world have ever completed this EPIC test, some hospitalised, others having to take days off work & most having weeks off training!!!

Our coaches gave everything they had in every rep, for every second throughout the challenge and despite having muscle strains, cut knees & bleeding hands the team completed all 4 laps of the Colchester Athletic Track (1 mile), doing the CrossFit badge proud the team even finished with an unofficial WORLD RECORD of just 45minutes…….

Andrew Kearton = 45mins

Carl Saville = 1hr 3mins

Sean McNamee = 1hr 12min

Jessica Johns-Green = 1hr 45mins

David Potticary = 1hr 49mins

The guys raised over £1500 for their locals charities by completing the mind blowing 6000+ Burpees (total team amount) and what did they have to say afterwards: “We had to dig deep as at times if felt like an impossible task to finish but to have all the amazing support from our CrossFit family really helped push us over the finish line so we can’t thank everyone enough for coming!”
