Time for a new Wardrobe

Saturday wrapped up the 9 week CFWS Paleo/Zone Challenge with both body composition and physical performance assessments.  Utilizing the hydrostatic weighing method, the gold standard for measuring body composition (an analysis of lean mass versus fat mass), CFWS athletes saw an average of 5 pounds of body fat loss in the nine week period.  If that weren’t enough, we saw an average improvement of just under 2 minutes on our timed benchmark workout, Jackie.  This workout consists of a 1000m row, 50 barbell thrusters at 45lbs and 30 pull-ups.  Participants were assessed under the same workloads on the pre and post assessments to maximize the significance of assessment results.

Our participants found that by eating with a Paleo/Zone based diet while doing CrossFit, allowed them to lose fat and improve overall fitness across the board. 

Some of our athletes were even able to increase significant amounts of lean body mass in conjunction with a large decrease in body fat.  Results like these, coupled with the increased overall energy levels throughout the day have made believers out of this group of athletes.

Congratulations to all who achieved such great results over this relatively short period of time!  Each person I talked to yesterday had the same response when I asked what they intend to do from this point forward:

Overwhelmingly, our athletes responded that they will stay with this lifestyle that has allowed them to achieve greater health and fitness in such a short period of time. 

Some will continue working towards performance based goals that includes continued weight loss (decreased bodyfat percentage), while others are now looking to maximize lean muscle mass in an attempt to increase overall strength.  No matter what the goals, the nine-week CFWS Paleo/Zone Challenge has given each athlete the tools to work towards their goals in the gym and support this workload with ideal nutrition.

We are now enrolling for the next 9 Week Paleo Zone Challenge.  The start date will be in late August/Early September. 

I strongly encourage everyone in the box to try this program at least once.  You have definitley seen the changes in the athletes around you who have already been through the program.  It’s time to experience it for yourself.  If you have any questions about how to best get started in the CFWS Paleo/Zone Challenge, flag me down the next time you are in the box.  You work your ass off in the gym, or at least it feels that way.  It’s time to learn how to maximize your workout results through a performance based diet.  We can show you the way.  All you have to do is sign-up and stick to the plan.  Results are guaranteed — just ask your fellow CFWS athletes who have already been through it.  Who will be the next success story at CFWS? 

Why not YOU?
