I’ve got some great news for you.  I’ve made some huge new changes with the fitness pain free crossfit programming.  Most importantly, the programming is now affiliate friendly.  I’ve received several emails from coaches out there wondering if this program was an appropriate fit for their gym.  I can now say that it certainly is.  I’ve gone through the process of making it easy to plug this programming directly into your box.  Now you don’t have to spend countless hours devising the perfect program for your gym and you can spend more time as a coach.

That’s not the only good news though.  Here’s a laundry list of new additions to the programming: 

• Crossfit programming for the general crossfit population.  The main target audience being between 25 and 45 years old with the primary goal of health and performance.
• Workouts with warm-up should last around 1 hour
• Workouts contain either a skill or lift of the day followed by a met-con
• Monthly assessment videos with corrective strategies
• Mobility, stability and technique drills incorporated right into the program
• Video exercise progressions for complex movements like the muscle-up
• Thorough warmups to prepare you for the workouts
• A competitor’s track for athletes wishing to be competitive in crossfit that layers right on top of the regular programming
• Joint health exercises to help keep you feeling good and reduce injury risk
• The same smart exercise prescription to boost performance and reduce injury risk

I’ve had several affiliates sign up so far with promising results.  Keep in mind that this program is constantly evolving based on feedback from you.  So please keep the feedback coming and we’ll work to make this the best program possible.

I’m really excited for this,

Dan Pope DPT, CSCS
