If you’re wondering who the guy in the picture is, it’s Matt (Matthieu) Hertilus. He is a CrossFit IGNITE athlete. Now, you may be wondering why you have never seen him around before. Well, Matt is a “special” CrossFit IGNITE athlete. He is a specialist, meaning; he is a soon to be a competitive Olympic Weightlifter. CrossFit IGNITE sponsors him and he represents us at the meets. CrossFit IGNITE will soon be a USA Weightlifting Affiliate, With Matt Leading the pack. Matt is one of the most dedicated and driven athletes we have ever met, and we’re proud to have him represent us. Just a little insight into the other facets of CrossFit IGNITE you may not have known about. If anyone is interested in specifically concentrating on one certain realm of training please let us know. In the future I think we may be starting a kettlebell specific “club”. Maybe we will meet once a week and work on just specific kettlebell movements and exercises. We would love to hear comments and ideas for “clubs” or “add on’s” to CrossFit IGNITE.

TGIF. As we always say in my house. What a week, thank God its over. Well everyone, the first week of CrossFit IGNITE being open is done.  This was a week for the history books. Thank you everyone for your kind words of encouragement, and for already starting, “soon to be” deep relationships with Tina and I as well as the other athletes. This was our vision, “to have a place to train the way we want and it be a community of like-minded individuals who all have a passion for life and for training.”  It’s a dream come true and we couldn’t be doing it without everyone who has joined.

Everyone is doing great. Today we take a rest day from the total strength and work on total body conditioning. Remember workout your rest day schedule for your self. Please don’t train 6 days straight. Please make sure you try to set time aside to study the video’s and articles we post daily. They all coincide with what we’re doing and its up to you to continually educate yourself beyond what we teach you inside the doors of CrossFit IGNITE.
