Wrapping Up a Great Athletes’ Training Camp
Written by C.J. Martin
It’s after 10:00 p.m. on Sunday night, we have a 5:00 a.m. wake up call to make our flight tomorrow, and we’ve been going hard since early Friday morning, so I am going to make this quick and write something more meaningful on the plane ride home. The athletes’ training camp over the weekend was amazing. We had a great crew of athletes, and a training camp can only be as good as the energy and enthusiasm of its participants. Thank you to all of those who attended!
To our coaches, Camille, Josh, Jenny, Dutch, Cody, Shane and Nichole, a sincere thank you for helping share what we all love about training and the sport of CrossFit. I learn so much from each of you, and am blessed to have you on our team. To our support staff, Courtney, Pops and Krazy K, thank you for taking care of all the logistics, keeping us well-fed and for the timely coffee deliveries. We love you guys!
If you attended the camp and you’re reading this, please drop a note to comments. It’s much better for folks to hear your thoughts and experience of the weekend than it is for me to write about mine.
Such an awesome weekend! Thanks again for coming up and allowing CrossFit Marysville to be a part of the Invictus Family. Amazing coaching throughout the weekend! For me personally, this weekend really helped remind me of why I love CrossFit the sport, and more importantly, why I love CrossFit the community!
Great athlete camp put on by the whole Invictus team of athletes and coaches – great information regarding all aspects of CrossFit. Thank you for coming up and taking time out of your busy schedules. Time to practice what we’ve learned at my home box!
Amazing weekend! Thanks to CJ and all the coaches and thanks to Noah for hosting. Learned a ton of great information and had some great laughs. I also enjoyed the 6 minutes of being faster the Josh Bridges until he destroyed “Jackie”
It really was a great experience and worth the trip down. It was great to meet you all, and I learned valuable skills and advice that I can use for the rest of the 2012-2013 season.
This camp provides an opportunity to make new friends, receive amazing coaching from a staff that leaves no person behind, and will help you understand what it means to be a legit competitor in CrossFit. CF Marysville was a great host affiliate – the CFM coaches are awesome people and I hope that anyone in the Seattle area gets a chance to see what they do in that box.
It is a rare opportunity to train alongside athletes like Nicole, Josh, Camille, Jenny, Dutch, Cody and Shane, and both training alongside and watching these guys and girls train stands out as my most favorite CrossFit experience to date. The programming throughout the weekend was fun and challenging, and the skill and technique sessions were very helpful at improving efficiency and eliminating bad habits. Above all, for me the most valuable information I took away from this weekend was learning from top level athletes and their coach on how to develop a performance mindset, not just in the gym but in life. Thanks CJ and crew for putting this together, and thanks to everyone else who attended for making the experience so great. I can’t wait to do it again.
I had a really great time and can’t thank CJ and the rest of the coaches enough, I learned something from each one of you. Still processing everything I took in and I am very excited about turning that info into PRs, already got a few this weekend
Thank you CJ and CF Invictus athletes/coaches for taking your show on the road and thanks to CFM for being such great hosts.
This was such an awesome weekend! Thank you to CJ and your coaching staff, and CF Marysville for putting on this camp!
There was so much information this weekend I feel like my brain is still on overload. Every one of the coaches was extremely helpful with watching technique or answering any questions. Just training alongside these amazing coaches this past weekend was a truly incredible experience.
CJ, you put on a great camp and provided us all with everything we need to bring our game to the next level. So many things to work on!!
Thanks CJ and all of the coaches for such a great weekend. I truly believe that the information I learned this weekend will not only make me a much better and efficient CrossFit athlete but a better coach as well. This weekend was a perfect balance of theory, skill work and just throwing down. Thanks again for reminding me why I love this sport and the community around it. To all of you who are going to the November camp, you are truly in for a treat.
Thank for the awesome weekend. For anyone who loves CrossFit and is interested in competing in the sport of fitness this camp is incredibly beneficial. Great workout, great knowledge and great athletes. This will not be the only Invictus Athlete Camp that I attend.
