In January of this year a friend and I came across CrossFit 613. Like most people I was looking to get into better shape, but most importantly I was seeking a trainer that could help me prepare for the Ontario Police PREP test.

What were your health/fitness goals before starting with us at CrossFit 613? It was always to keep fit, get stronger, get rid of my back pain and live without pain.

I grew up in rural PEI (yes, I know that is a redundant statement). When I was about 11-12 one of my chores was to mow our 4 acres of property and a real love-hate relationship was quickly born.

Introducing the programming platform that will give you the absolute best RESULTS in a way that is safe, effective, individualized, and most of all FUN!

So I figured that now that September has rolled around and everyone is getting back into a routine, setting schedules, formulating good habits etc, that this would be the right time for a little refresher on one of the most fundamental principles of training: Consistency.

Here are a few things you should be working on daily. They aren't difficult or time consuming...so no excuses!

This is the first instalment in a series of interviews with our inspirational CrossFit 613 members. Enjoy!

Training should be fun, as well as challenging. It is a time to share with friends and enjoy the camaraderie of working towards a common goal. However, there are people in the gym just “going through the motions”.

It appears there is a lot more talk of mobility these days and the importance mobility has on overall health and performance. However, there seems to be a great deal of confusion over what mobility really means and how to get it.

Something I've been thinking about more recently as we have a new wave of individuals coming through our On-Ramp Program. If you're one of those people, or you're still relatively 'new' to CrossFit, this post is for you!

Now, before we get into this discussion I'd like to preface it by saying intensity is relative. When I, or anyone, talks about intensity, it is relative to you as an individual; Not a CrossFit Games athlete, or a 5 year CrossFit veteran.

Each Life By Design step bucks the trend of conventional wisdom, but none more so than our disapproval of "chronic cardio". “That's blasphemy!” you say.
