JANUARY Athletes of the Month!

marv — Tue, 01 Feb 2011 20:32:35 +0000

MENS HYBRID ELITE
Vince COONEY

Scouting Report: My first-ever workout with Vince over a year ago, didn’t go sooooo well. Vinnie has always been athletic as hell, but needed to reclaim his mojo and diversify his metabolic pathways . In a few short months of consistent, hard work, he’s managed to do all of this and more! I predict that 2011 will be his most dominant year out on the tennis court.

WOMENS HYBRID ELITE
Karen PASSMORE

Scouting Report: She may not weigh much more than a bag of potato chips, but KP knows how to bring it. All day. Everyday. She bounced back from a debilitating back injury before the holidays, and thoroughly dominated the Womens’ Elite division in January. [IF] Karen Passmore can stay healthy and motivated to perform at a high level, she could pose a real threat to the top guns in this division.

WOMENS HYBRID CREW
Karen RUMBLE

Scouting Report: We [the coaches] are SO proud of Karen Rumble. Even from the beginning, Rumble always gave us everything she had in class. It was staying disciplined outside of class that was the real struggle for Karen. We didn’t give up on her, and more importantly, she didn’t give up on HERSELF. At some point she decided to make a real commitment to her success, and the results have been outstanding! Well done Karen Rumble!! - You are the Athlete of the Month.

The Ladies will receive $25 lululemon gift cards, and Vince will receive something MANLY that I haven’t figured out quite yet… All winners will receive (1) nomination to the Athlete of the Year competition in their respective division.

Hybrid Athletic launches a NEW Division in SPRING 2011!

Those of you who have been around for a few years, must certainly remember the days when we only had ONE program. “Urban Warrior Bootcamp” (The Hybrid’s predecessor), was a SINK or SWIM fitness juggernaut that left broken bodies and shattered egos by the wayside… Many of you paid your dues the old-fashioned way - in BLOOD, SWEAT, and TEARS. But then I grew SOFT….(My Life Coach told me that I needed to work on being more EMPATHETIC.)

In the Spring of 2010, we launched the Hybrid Crew program to address the needs of “true” fitness beginners, and it’s proven to be a MASSIVE success. In my mind, the most important indicator of success is the fact that we now have a sizeable contingent of very fit and motivated Crew athletes, who are ready to take it to the NEXT LEVEL. Until now, that NEXT LEVEL would have been the Elite program. However, as anyone who’s ever watched an Elite class go down can attest, this could still be a GIANT LEAP for many people. With this in mind, I decided to create a program that would bridge the gap between the two existing programs. Out of the MARV LAB, Hybrid Varsity was born…

How EXACTLY will VARSITY be different from CREW?

1. More advanced drills… higher-level athletic skill learning.

2. Higher metabolic intensity… work harder, with less recovery time.

3. Greater diversity of training tools… access to tools like free weights, stability balls, TRX, agility equipment and more.

4. Lower participant cap…a maximum of 10 participants in each class.

5. It’s a COED program…men and women will train together in the same class.

Oh - I almost forgot… we’ll be offering VARSITY at the SAME PRICE as CREW! That’s right - just $19/class.

Do YOU think you’ll be ready to enter VARSITY in April? If so, give me a shout.
