Brenda Glidden... In Her Own Words

I love being a part of a team of diverse people who cheer for each other's accomplishments -- whether they are the most elite athlete at the gym or someone who is experiencing their first Crossfit workout. Working out with all the great people in our group classes is making the journey fun! Crossfit Relentless is a place where everyone is treated like an athlete and trained like an athlete at their individual starting point.
The individualized instruction and continual guidance from the coaches make me feel like a valued member of the team. I couldn't have accomplished what I have without Merle, Tony, Glenn, and Joe -- being able to rely on the expertise of the Crossfit trainers is an invaluable part of the Crossfit Relentless experience. The trainers don't just guide me through my daily workouts, they provide me inspiration and motivation to continually improve and push myself to levels of athleticism that I wouldn't have been able to even imagine on my own.

redesigning your wods
Glenn and I and all of our coach's spend a lot of time learning our craft and as we aquire more knowledge we evolve your workouts in effort to make you better. The consistent setting of personal records alone will bare out the efficacy of our programming. You can look for some tweaks to the warmups and strength programming as we seek to optimize your performance and recovery times. The warm ups will be written on the white board for you and will involve a short run/row/ski etc,followed by joint mobility and then gymnastic skills practice. We've will also be tweaking the strength portion using the the Wendler 5-3-1 system. I think it is just easier and more efficient to use the 5-3-1 system for large classes. In the coming week we need to establish your 1 rep pr on the major lifts to use as our basis for the following 4 weeks,so don't miss Wednesday and Friday's wods!
