Our general Classes are great for the Health, Longevity, and Performance of the group, as we program to the trends we notice within our group of CrossFitters - but you can only get so individualized in a group setting. The Skills for life program is an attempt to bridge the gap between general preparatory CrossFit Classes and a more specific stimulus that an individual wants/needs without having to move to full on individual training. This could be anything up to and including Developing Pull Ups / Handstand Push Ups Better conditioning in 4 minute workouts, 10 minute workouts Faster 2k Row Supplementary Strength Work for one specific lift Olympic Weightlifting Technique Mobility etc.  [/x_accordion_item][x_accordion_item title="What does it include?" open="false"]This Program Includes: -Program design directed at one specific concept, skill, or strength development. The time and amount programmed is dependent on your lifestyle  - the range is dependent on the goals of the individual, this is typically discussed during the initial meeting. -Consultation regarding testing and assessment for this movement every training block - this could be anywhere from 8-12 weeks -Skill Specific Programming for one movement,energy system, etc -Access to our personal training software: The Skill Specific Programming will be sent via a separate Personal Training Software -an open gym membership to perform the programming -20% off of any one on one Nutrition Coaching Package[/x_accordion_item][x_accordion_item title="How does it work?" open="false"]If you would like to sign up for the Skills for Life Program -

This is also for a single movement or energy system -  this is dependent on what you are able to work on in your time frame - and how extensive those goals are in relation to where you currently sit. Remember, it has to be specific - not "get stronger in everything" For example: Get a muscle up, or 10 consecutive muscle ups Row a faster 2k Increase mobility for the overhead squat Get a faster fran time etc. If you want FULL program design, that is a completely different and far more extensive service that includes Consultation Assessment Testing Full Program Design for multiple concepts and goals Check ins with reprogramming, adjustments to program, occasional form tweaks and instruction.

New Shadow Coach – Mitch Walker

By: 0

Hey everyone! You'll be seeing a new Shadow hanging out with some of our current Coaches and starting the process of possibly becoming a Coach at CrossFit South Bend! He will be currently entering into Phase 1 of our 4 Phase Coaching Process. The process has become more extensive with each of our amazing coaches that have went through it and have given feedback with it - wish Mitch some luck!
During this phase the coach will be - amongst other things
*Performing demos for movements
*Making minor form corrections
*Watching the main coach manage time, coach, control the class, etc.
*Upholding movement standards
etc,etc...
So be receptive to Mitch if he comes around and starts to give out some cues here and there, he is a knowledgeable person otherwise we wouldn't be throwing him into the mix :)
A few things about Mitch, he was born and raised in South Bend Indiana and have lived here my entire life, played high school football.
Mitch is really passionate about learning other people stories and where they came from.  I really enjoy working with kids and helping people on a much personal level. So don't be surprised if Mitch comes around to get to know you.
A note from Mitch: As a kid I always envision myself helping people whether that was being a police officer or even a counselor. After my car accident and having a second chance with life, I have been really driven to have some sort of impact on people's lives.
   

LaSalle Grill

CFSB Wellness Wednesday-Special Edition: LaSalle Grill In this special edition of Wellness Wednesday we take you on a tour of one of the best restaurants in South Bend, LaSalle Grill. Laurel, one of our awesome members, was nice enough to let us take a tour of LaSalle Grill. -We got to take a tour of the kitchen where we saw all the fresh ingredients LaSalle uses to make their food. -We got to sit in on queue time with Chef Rob where the entire staff goes over the daily menu with the head chef. -Lastly, I took a look at their menu and talked about which healthy food options you could order there. LaSalle grill is the perfect type of restaurant to have a healthy meal that is absolutely delicious. -They make their meals from fresh, real whole food ingredients. -Every day the menu is different. Why? Because they use seasonal and local ingredients which not only taste much better but are healthier for you. -They cook everything in either butter or olive oil, which are both much healthier than the seed oils used in most restaurants. If you're looking for healthy eating in South Bend that is absolutely delicious you need to check out LaSalle Grill.
