Sickness - Wellness - Fitness

An excerpt from the CrossFit Trainer Guide:

CrossFit has observed that nearly every measurable value of health can be placed on a continuum that ranges from sickness to wellness to fitness. Though tougher to measure, we would even add mental health to this observation. 

Examples of such values include blood pressure, body-fat percentage, heart rate, and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels, among others. 

“The fittest will have all of their parameters or markers going in the direction of fit,” -Hunter-Marshall.

Done right, fitness provides a great margin of protection against the ravages of time and disease. Where you find otherwise, examine the fitness protocol, especially diet. Fitness is and should be “super-wellness.” Sickness, wellness, and fitness are measures of the same entity.

“We don’t know what’s gonna happen in life,” Hunter-Marshall says. “Because life happens for all of us, and we have no control over it, but … there are certain things that we do have control over, and if we can use those things that we have control over to push us (to fitness), we’re creating the best line of defense for ourselves when something goes awry.”

On January 29th from 0800-1130 we are going to deep dive into this excerpt and help bridge the gap between what we do in the gym and what we are trying to do for our members broadly in life. Join us for a coffee, an extended white board briefing, and a workout.
