September Is Coming...



Are you ready??

For most of our members, life is about to get a little crazy.

September means back to school, back to sports, back to driving your kids to five different practices, tutors and play dates a week.

For a lot of us, September signifies the end of summer, and the start... of chaos.

Here's where your self discipline and flexibility needs to come into play.

We know how important your kid's schedules are... but let's not forget about you.

Children flourish and succeed when their home is happy, and when their parents are happy.

What makes CrossFitters happy??

Getting into the Gym.

You have earned your fitness... now it's time to keep it.

So... when September smacks you in the face next week and reminds you that you are a part time taxi driver for your kids... remember to get yourself in to wod as often as possible.

Worried that your schedule won't match up with Legitimus' schedule??

Don't forget that there are early bird classes at 5:30 am four days a week.

Still having trouble getting your wod on??

Check out the Legitimus Babysitting Page on Facebook... where babysitting is offered a minimum of three classes a week.

Or... speak up and ask other parent's to swap wod times and kid's with you!

September means school, holidays, activities, events...

We are all busy... but the beauty of Legitimus is that we are a Community that helps each other out.

If you are having trouble getting into the Gym, talk to the Coaches, or other members... people who understand that working out keeps you sane!

It takes a village... and if someone can help you, they will!

A Word From Cross Cuisines...


It is true my friends.

Everything you put in your body becomes apart of who you are.

Have you ever felt completely exhausted after eating pasta?

Felt bloated or gassy after eating a milk product?

Wondered why you have diabetes because you really didn't eat "that" much sugar?

Our society suffers from diabetes, obesity, coronary heart disease and more.

More and more children are suffering with obesity and the most common killer of Americans is cancer.

We need to take control of our bodies and what we choose to put into our mouths.

Unfortunately, our food is highly enriched, contaminated and we can't even figure out what is right or wrong because advertisers are shooting something different out every day.

But, we do!

The Paleo diet isn’t just a diet or a fad, it is a way of life—one that’s apart of you and CrossFit.

As an athlete, you see the how the Paleo diet changes your performance and enhances your results.

Those who use it for medical and weight loss, see the difference—their cholesterol and blood pressure goes down, they see their midsection decreasing and feel mental clarity.

We need to keep it up and remember you are what you eat; you ARE strong!
