Weight Loss
We have clients who work with us to lose and reach their weight goals. We educate clients on the pivotal role nutrition plays in short term weight loss and long term weight control. What you eat will be a more important determinant of how successful you are losing weight and keeping the weight off. Even more important than weight loss, we educate on the long term health implications of the food choices you make in regards to the the development of chronic health conditions. Check out this excerpt from Scott Hagnas’s nutrition lecture.
We also shift the focus from just losing weight to gaining new abilities like doing a pull up, push up, and back squatting your body weight. Few achievements give a bigger boost of confidence than getting your first pull-up! If you aspire to achieve these abilities and work hard with us, the weight loss will take care of itself.
Sports Performance Training
Back in 1998, I was a student athletic trainer for the University of Illinois. I had the rare opportunity to work with collegiate athletes and see what the next level did for performance training. The training space was a big open space, space to run & jump, 150′ of pull up bars, and no machines. The sprinters were dynamically warming up with mobility drills and then they loaded a lifting bar with big rubber weights . The sprinter proceeded to lift the weight to her shoulders from the ground in one explosive movement, and then dropped it back down. Repeat.
At CrossFit Portland, our training facility is about open spaces and executing the fundamental methods found in collegiate and professional strength and conditioning facilities. We can help train for a wide range of sports, from fighting to Ultimate Frisbee. Whatever your sport, we want to learn about it, analyze it, and improve your physical capacity for it. We use Olympic lifting, old school strength training, nutrition, tumbling, agility, plyometrics, sprinting, and a curiosity for “keep it simple” techniques that produce results. If you take your sport and training seriously, we look forward to working hard with you to reach your physical potential.
