Welcome to the Box

The Workout Warriors.  This is where I conduct my private and small group training sessions.   Our Gyms are not open to the public.  We require observation as a step to progress, This is how we learn and how you get better.  Development of skill works for all parties.  Teaching and training go hand in hand.  We do not employ the open gym model. Sorry.   

My goal in either location is simple.  To find your weakness and eliminate it.  The groups that train with meet in one of two places; 

Northside: 

Located at 4501 Capper Rd, the North Campus of Florida Community College. This is also the Police Academy. I college and police academy students as well as the recruit programs.  We get a lot in, we study and we train, It is complete training.  ( no drop ins, scheduled training only. )

Westside:

This is where it all started. Training small groups here under the original home gym system of Crossfit.  Olympic Lifting, Gymnastics  and Met Con. It’s all here. Hard work.  The training area is minimalistic.  All four seasons, no showers,  coffee, etc.  We train.  Be it on the pad or in the box, the training continues.  rain or shine.  Original Black Box Crossfit.  If you are curious if this approach works, ask Mike Burgener, Mark Rippetoe or Goach Glassman, ALL still use the home gym for training some of their best. ( including  several Olympians. )  

 My Philosophy :

 I invite anyone interested in training to join me on the path.  The decision to remain on it is up to the individual. Like Martial Arts ( Budo ) anyone can come to the door, remaining however works both ways. The athletes that train with me have a decision to stay or go.  After all,  they pay for the training.   I also like to stress that I am about commitment.  If you lose it, then you also lose your opportunity to train with me.    

 How I do It:

I have been developing workouts using the Crossfit programming for nearly 7 years.  I was certified as a Coach in early 2000, by Coach Glassman. Yes, I did a fair amount of fitness stuff prior to crossfit, with the certifications to boot. Crossfit has the best functional fitness programming I have seen to date. It is the program to use.   I have been fortunate in that I can enhance training sessions by using life experiences in martial arts,  firearms, tactical element movements and Academy fitness training.  I use the Box as a proving ground for new WODs, a litimus test for old WODs. and a forge for athletes of all ages.  The workouts we use are posted on the CrossFitEast main page. This link is where I post extra WODS, Austure WODS, and other training information, etc. that doesn’t make the CrossFit East main page. Its a collection annex.  Warrior training via the CrossfitEast family develops individual and team skills.  We make each other harder, by earning our rest .
