Are just some of the comments I’ve heard from people following the first day of intro classes.
Knowing how great the environment at Elite actually is, it always throws me off when people say things like that. But when you really think about it , it totally makes sense
.As someone already training it is easy for us to forget what it was like for someone new on that first day, or even more so as that person looking in from the outside thinking about getting started.
Honestly guys what we do can look difficult and for sure intimidation plays a big role in stopping many people from ever getting started.. What may seem like an easy warm-up for you could be a lot for someone who hasn’t worked out in the last few years.
Solutions
So how do we get the ball rolling in a way that makes learning the basics less complicated?? And at the same time is a solid training resource for even our most experienced members?
Easy, our Mississauga martial arts and fitness academy is Based around the idea of 3 phases of training
Fitness
The technical study of Martial arts
Competition
training focused on helping you excel in the area you want most. Rather than forcing every member into the same mold.
I know doing that “new and exciting” drill keeps training fresh and exciting, but what sense does it make for someone looking to learn the arts and get in better shape to attend a Muay Thai class here they and get smashed around in the ring for 5-6 rounds??
Or even more common, someone who can’t support their body weight ends up doing a workout of the day that has the trying handstand push-ups and technical lifts they have no clue about???
There is a lot of crazy training going on out there folks
“this has got to be fake but still a good laugh :)”
Whether or not that poor training has you end up flying through a wall it just doesn’t add up and is a recipe for disaster.
Following the goal oriented formula for members training is clearly working. The vibe around the gym has never been better, classes are busy and our competitors are doing great.
