My wife and I started working out with Rick about 1 month ago. When we
started, I was hesitant about the 8 course intro but am now a complete
believer. In a matter of weeks, I have learned a significant amount about
exercise, weightlifting and diet.
For many years, I wrestled and spent hours cutting weight and working out.
I only wish that I could have been involved with CrossFit earlier. The
combination of exercise variety, encouragement and Paleo is a terrific
combination.
I am not overweight but have lost five pounds, feel stronger and look
better than I have in years.
Rick and everyone that I have met at CrossFit Chula Vista are exceptional
people. They are knowledgable about proper form, diet and technique (not to
mention that they can easily do any exercise with ease – including
inverted vertical push-ups on rings).
There are no egos at CrossFit Chula Vista and everyone is supportive of
each other. If you are looking for an exercise program unlike anything that
you have probably done in the past, this is the place. The sessions are
typically less than a half hour and you get a complete full body work out
(think cardio, weightlifting and gymnastics all rolled into one brief,
intense session.)
In addition to the gym, the Paleo lifestyle is great. I use the term
'lifestyle' because it is not really a diet. It is a low carb, balanced meal
with frequent snack program. Honestly, I eat more now than I did before but
enjoy the meals and feel much better.
CrossFit all the way!
