I recently read a couple articles about a type of training called MovNat, derived from something called Methode Naturelle. As a training philosophy based on functionality, I found it to be a breath of fresh air. This, along with some of the principles of CrossFit, odd object training, and strongman training, comprise the recent direction of my training focus. I still primarily lift weights, but this is the type of fitness that is really starting to interest me.

The gym will be closed all day Friday July 23rd 2010. There will be no morning or evening classes.

this is a great post from MarksDailyApple.com In most locales, summer is upon us. The sun acts as powerful beacon, a call to action for even the habitually sedentary to venture out and frolic in its rays. Hopeful mothers and fathers nudge chubby kids with creaky Xbox fingers, barely able to grasp the brand new football with which they’ve been tasked, out the door to partake in a mysterious, archaic activity known as “play.” Running shoes are finally removed from shoeboxes and attached to feet. Excuses to avoid going outside grow exceedingly pathetic and totally unconvincing, even to the skilled self-deceivers, who can no longer deny the basic awesomeness of a summer day. Squinting into this wonderful, terrible new light, they all gather in public areas – parks, hiking trails, outdoor malls, beaches – each in turn making personal pledges (or fulfilling imposed ones) that this will be the summer they finally take advantage of the great outdoors.

Starting July 5th 2010 the morning class time will be changed from 8:00 am to 9:00 am.

Because of changes in the coaching staff we will no longer be holding class on Sundays starting this Sunday 5/30. I am sorry if this causes an inconvenience to any SWARM member.  Please come and talk to me if you have any issues with this change.

Update : we have asked and not many people are around this weekend so there will be no Saturday or Sunday class. We are having one class only on Memorial Day. The class will be at 8:00 am. The class is early because of the parade in Westfield.
