Every person that comes to the Fit Pit gets personal attention, whether they are brand new or they are a veteran. Thats what makes us special and unique. Sheryl and I give everyone all that we have in managing your form, your reps, your weights, etc. For the veterans, its pretty easy, they understand what the exercises are, they know how to properly perform them, and they know what weight to use in order for them to get a maximum benefit. They have put in the effort, recorded their totals in the book, can figure out where they are at and what they need to do in order to get the absolute most out of their workout.
We love new people and its the lifeblood of the Fit Pit. Without new people we would revert back to the same 10-12 people who were here when I bought the gym 2 1/2 years ago. Let me tell you what happens when we get new people. They need INTENSE coaching and CONSTANT coaching. Where I can let 4 or 5 veterans participate in a workout and provide intemittent guidance, I cant let the new people out of my sight for 1 second. Their bodies and muscle memory cannot be guided by a verbal cues. They need constant demonstration, correction, pulling them aside 1v1 for them to have any semblance of a good workout. IN order for me or Sheryl to do this, we CANNOT properly supervise, motivate, encourage, and help the verterans. They get short shrift because all our time is devoted to the new people. So something has to change.
Effective on the 1st Saturday of Every Month, we will be conducting a Fit Pit introductory course for all new people or anyone that wants a refresher course. The inauguaral session will commence on Saturday November 7,2009 beginning at 9:00am. This course is solely geared to teaching the new people the following things:
- Introduction to our exercises, names, demonstrations
- Introduction to Olympic Lifting and its auxillary exercises
- Determination of the correct weights, bands, dumbbels, kettlebells, for each of the exercises
- PROPER SQUAT FORM
- Why we do what we do and how it can help you
The cost is $25 per session and is intended soley for the new people. HOWEVER, if you want to learn more about the Oly Lifts, improve your weighted squat form, learn to do a kipping pullup, and anything else, you can also participate.
This course will be a prerequiste to participating in the regular Fit Pit sessions. Until you are proficient in the exercises, know their names, know what weights or bands to use, you will be placed on a different workout routine. This routine will provide you with a simplified workout where you will still get the same benefits, but Sheryl and I will be able to supervise both you and the veterans. Everyone deserves our attention.
