Victoria, BC, April 8, 2010: Bear Mountain Resort is proud to receive their affiliate status and offer the wildly popular CrossFit to the list of athletic programs at the Mountainside Athletic Club.
CrossFit is the ultimate sport of fitness. It focuses on core body strength and conditioning and is used by many police academies, tactical operations teams, elite and professional athletes around the world. The real secret to CrossFit, however, is that it can be experienced at any age and any fitness level because the goal is to ensure that the body has maximum strength and range of motion – at any and every age.
Robin Henderson, Manager of the Mountainside Athletic Club at Bear Mountain attended the certification session in San Diego to receive the CrossFit affiliate status. “CrossFit has been purposely designed for universal scalability making it the ideal workout for everyone. The same workouts that are used for elite athletes can be scaled appropriately for grandparents with a fitness goal that focuses on core strength and conditioning. Even children can participate with excellent results,” explains Henderson. “My goal has always been to offer a wide variety of programs for all of our members and guests, and to provide the best trainers to instructor these programs. CrossFit is a globally recognized training program with huge enrolment because it works, its fun and it’s easy to master without risk of injury because the movements are functional movements – we move our bodies this way all the time.”
