Manifesto

Where the sweat turns to blood.. That's where I live

Where the pain starts to take on a voice and talk to you.. that's where I am

Where your vision narrows and the color leaks out, leaving you with black & white.. That is where I thrive

Where the air becomes heavy and you swear you are going to drown in it but can't get enough into your lungs.. that's where you'll find me

Where others quit.. Where others stop.. Where others give up.. You will find me there and you will find me still sweating, still in pain, without sight, unable to breathe, still on my feet..

When you get there you will know me.. I will be the last man standing

I am Crossfit

We have Trainers here who are themselves capable of elite performance by practicing exactly what they preach. We believe that you can not take anyone anywhere you yourself have not been.

We ARE committed to EXCELLENCE.

We ARE committed to YOU.

Our gym is NOT open to the public.

There is no drop in or "check it out" time. Everything you need to know is right in front of you. If you would like to come learn more about what we do, send us an email and make an appointment to go through your introductory session. Please do not call and ask about price. We don't compete on price; we compete on quality, skilled professional coaching and training, and most importantly, RESULTS. In the end, we DELIVER, period.

There are PLENTY of places A LOT less expensive. We firmly believe that YOU get what you pay for. If you want something for nothing, then nothing is what you will get. PLEASE check out the lower price places BEFORE you come to us, so you KNOW what you are getting. If you are looking for VALUE and coaches who truly care about you and all facets of your training and have a track record of TRANSFORMING clients, then you are in the right place.

At CrossFit Saints Forge, WE FORGE ELITE COMMITTMENTS...

Man, I hate running.... but...

One of the first things we do once someone starts training is get them into an appropriate pair of shoes. One that emphasizes balance and the foot's own ability to operate and move. A primary example we use in this discussion of new footwear is proper running technique and what our shoe 'technology' has done to us and the incidence of injury now inherent in running.

Check out this article, with research from Harvard, on barefoot running. Then go to the barefoot running home page on Harvard's site for more info if the first article peaks your interest.

Today marks the start of a serious Hard Routine for two of the Forge's most dedicated. Committed to 'forging' the way for others, this is a 2-part program: First phase lasting 2 weeks and beginning today and consisting of ketogenics, intermittent fasting, 2-a-day's and the 'protocol,' followed immediately by second phase, also lasting 2 weeks and utilizing cyclic-keto and the anabolic cycling of food intake to enhance training, recovery and growth through food.

The results generated by these two individuals will be used in a case study and will be the basis of an additional program to be offered at the Forge for hard chargers, mil and LEO.

"Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength; mastering yourself is true power."

"Confront the dark parts of yourself, and work to banish them with illumination and forgiveness. Your willingness to wrestle with your demons will cause your angles to sing. Use the pain as fuel, as a reminder of your strength."

- August Wilson

"It takes more courage to reveal insecurities than to hide them, more strength to relate to people than to dominate them, more manhood to abide by thought-out principles rather than blind reflex. Toughness is in the soul and spirit, not in the muscles and an immature mind."

- Alex Karras

"Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will."

- Mahatma Gandhi
