COACH CARLOS AND THE COVE PROGRAMMING
A few of weeks ago, the Cove coaching team got together for a meeting on how to improve your experience at the Cove. We discussed not only general gym and coaching topics, but specifically looked at the current programming at the Cove and how we might look to improve it.
We have been using CompTrain for just over four months, and in our experience, this is enough time to get a real feel for a program and be able to identify any biases it has (every program and programmer has biases!). But it is our job to identify them and make adjustments to make the programming so it works better for the Cove community.
After discussing the strength and weaknesses of CompTrain, we are going to start making more tweaks to ensure we are hitting the needs of the entire membership. We are seeing strength levels increase (lots of PRs), improved attendance (up by 15%), and improved conditioning but we still see holes in the programming — especially when it comes to serving our competitive athletes. And by “competitive” we mean the ones who enjoy CrossFit as a ’sport’ and typically perform workouts RX/RX+. Coach Carlos will be heading up the efforts to ensure the workouts make sense for our gym and continue to push us to our highest levels of fitness, regardless of experience level.
As always, we thank you for putting your trust in us all to deliver maximum results in “the best hour of your day”!
