Doug returns to EmerFit.

Notes For Saturday

  • No Suffer On Saturday due to Programming Seminar
  • Open Gym time added this Saturday only 7a-8:30a. Sign-up required as usual.
  • Free Programming Seminar 9a-12. RSVP Online. There are already 20 EmerFitters signed-up!

Doug, pictured above, is one of a handful of people that returned to EmerFit after all the changes we implemented in late-May. Many of you may remember Doug with his ice axes back in the old gym in 2008. He then went off to experiment with some Mountain Athlete and Gym Jones training programs. Things we didn’t have the room to do in the old gym. Those programs have worked really well for his climbing so he is still doing them and our Open Coaching sessions make that possible. He is part of the EmerFit community, pays to use our facility and for a little coaching, but his programming comes from a coach that lives in another state and happens to be one of Doug’s climbing partners.

Doug sits at one end of the spectrum of customized programming. Few people need programming that is that customized. Yet there are lessons we can all learn from this way of looking at our training whether we are trying to just get in shape, preparing for athletic competition and the possibility of being a professional athlete, or if we have turned our training into a hobby. These are the sorts of topics we will be discussing in tomorrow’s programming seminar.

    Kudos for the briefing this saturday. Excellent information and one of the many things that makes your gym a lifestyle maker and not just a place to go workout.
