EAT, TRAIN and SLEEP Build Core Habits for your Transformation Transformation happens in the community Building Core Habits is like riding a bike. EAT and SLEEP are the bike tires and TRAIN is you on the bike seat. When EAT, TRAIN, SLEEP are all working together, the bike moves towards transformation. When they aren’t working together, it’s like riding a bike with a flat tire. We coach you to EAT to Perform, TRAIN for Optimal Lean Body Mass, and SLEEP to Win Eat: Eat protein, vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch, and no refined sugar 1-2 palms of protein per meal plus a protein shake Eat three meals a day Train: Train proper movement patterns and positions first, then add weight (load) and reps (volume) then intensity High-intensity training to burn fat Strength Training to activate and grow lean muscle mass Restorative stretching to recover and become more flexible Sleep: Sleep for 7-8 hours per night to support your recovery Turn off all screens 1 hour before bedtime Go to sleep and wake up at the same time every day
Honestly, I was thinking it was going to be like the other CrossFit boxes I had been to before CJP. I thought I wasn’t going to last and that my first class was going to be a try out. I was surprised by how much commitment and effort the coaches put into each of us to make us better, a month try out turned out to be 3 years of continuous work. What started as a couple days a week turned out to be a life time commitment.
I was brought to CrossFit because of the functionality it provides for every challenge life versus just bodybuilding or power lifting. CrossFit forces you to break through mental barriers and past what you thought you physical or mental limit was.
We have something at CJP that I see and appreciate at every CrossFit gym I’ve ever vistied: a community of capable, caring judges and athletes of all shapes and sizes united under one goal of helping each other to get as fit as possible. That was my expectation when I showed up here on Day One (June 2015), and that perception hasn’t changed at all in the four years since.
