What no january membership drive.

Dec 10th

Picture of a pistol squat from an old basic York Barbell course. You don't see this exercise done much now, but it was common "in the day".

I just wanna build momentum again. Keeping yourself in work is one thing, keeping yourself in good work's another. But if it doesn't work out, so be it. As the Taoists say, Learn to accept that which you cannot change.

I was reading today something really bazaar. It appears the the CrossFit Affiliate HyperFit USA has a very unique policy. In January they don't take any new members. WOW, this goes against all fitness business practices of the Globo-fit organizations, that get most of their annual newbies each year in the first couple of months. Why is Hyperfit doing this and potentially loosing members? Well they only want serious people who make continuous progress and won't make them look bad by going to the gym for the first few months, and then fall off the wagon like the vast majority of the public when they find they have fatten up over the holidays.

Most major gyms could give a rats ass if you make progress or even show up, just as long as you pay your contract fee. What they don't realize that by have a large membership that don't make solid progress, or get fit, are making them look bad, and the whole fitness industry. I call it FITNESS A.D.D. Anyway if I had a affiliate, I would copy the policy as they are right on the money. Serious people only want to be in the presence of serious people. They don't have to be super stars, just dedication to the mission.
