CrossFit Sörnäinen Functional Fitness & Personal Training

Here’s what we know about motivation:

Success has to happen before you’ll become motivated;
Success has to KEEP happening to keep you motivated;
We don’t always recognize success when it happens. We’re pretty hard on ourselves.
That means we prioritize our PR board over a scoreboard, we track our progress in LevelMethod, and we need to take five minutes every week to reflect on the GOOD in our lives.
The practice of thankfulness doesn’t come naturally to anyone. That’s why we call it a practice: it’s hard, we don’t feel like doing it–and then we feel better once we’ve done it.

Open House at ours on Friday 12/6. It’s a team workout, so tag a friend and come on in for some sweaty delight. :) Also, we’ll show you how to get your first pullup: white level -> yellow level -> orange -> just like the belt colors in karate or bjj.

The average level ups per month all-time is 247 new measurement. Now that includes the onramp also, which means some of it is setting the baseline. But still: 247 level ups every single month. And 33 new diplomas printed every single month.

It is data proving that your hard work is paying off and that the program is working very well indeed.

A congrats to you all sers! (Ser is genderneutral, as we know)

Getting back to the gym? The two things I would start with are 1) Muscle Balance, I’d check on strength in the 5 different movement patterns (core, hinge, squat, upper body pushing and pulling strength) and compare if any is weaker than the overall. 2) sufficient protein. Coming back to strength training increases your need, and your apetite. If you only increase food but not protein, then your goal of losing a few kilos will go awry. Might even gain more fat from the extra carbs/fats that come in a lot easier than the proteins.

In May we did some re-testing and the result was 570 new level ups in total. Which is a lot certainly. Also, the whole average strength of the gym went up to almost blue belt. Which is really cool.

Congratulations every one of you! :)

This is Thomas. He’s the absolute heart of the gym, and that is a heart of gold. He cares about every single member like he cares about every single plant in his garden (that is to say: A LOT). And if someone’s been away for a while, he’ll check in on them… Not by using shame, only with ”how are you?” And usually that is enough to help you get back to the gym.

But if you want a bit more trouble shooting, book a fitchat with a coach and we can talk about what you might need to make it easier to get in.

Your Roadmap as a Beginner: Weeks 1-4 Proprioception.

Proprioception is body awareness. This is skill-learning, or technique. It’ll transform you into an athlete, little by little. This is where brain health and real fitness meets to start with. When you can move well, we can start adding weight and intensity. Slow is smooth and smooth is fast.
