No Class
NOTE: The next class time will be Monday at 6:30pm. Keep checking back for next week's days and times. There is a possibility that next week will be a very limited schedule. Also, next week is my last week of volleyball so the schedule should become more consistent after that.
Phil...Phil is the man! Somewhat hesitant at first to give CrossFit a shot (and who isn't?), Phil is now accomplishing feats that he never thought would be possible in his life. Since beginning with Performance Quest, Phil has taken pride in learning how to safely and efficiently lift heavy objects and is excited to continuously improve his lifts every time he enters the gym.
How does this strength and conditioning experience translate to a better of quality of life for Phil? Well, as you may or may not already know, before starting with Performance Quest, Phil had previously suffered a couple of very serious back injuries. Injuries that he believed would limit him from enjoying certain aspects of his life for the rest of his life and that were severely limiting his ability to perform his tasks at work.
Now Phil warms up with weights he never thought he'd ever be able to lift and performs all of the workouts at a high quality. At work, Phil is now showing the "big guys" how to lift properly so as not to injure their backs and is frequently called upon to lift some of the heavier objects. Don't know if that is appealing to everyone but Phil really takes pride in this fact.
Phil is an invaluable part of the Performance Quest Fitness & Athletic's family. Every time he steps foot into the gym he is ready to work hard. Like myself, Phil recognizes the benefit that CrossFit could have given him as a high school teenager. Benefits that he never received. It is for these reasons that Phil is such a positive influence and motivator for many of the young athletes that stumble through the gym doors and take part in our program.
It's sure nice having you as part of the Performance Quest Family Phil.
