Washington, DC (PRWEB) April 30, 2012

Fitness & training company Fitness EFX has announced the opening of their 3rd Washington area facility, Crossfit Metro Center, at 1401 New York Avenue in Northwest Washington DC.

The company’s studios primarily use the Crossfit training method, and incorporate weightlifting, gymnastics, kettlebells, Olympic Lifting and more to their unique programs.

“Dedicated CrossFit gyms have a completely different feel and culture than franchise gyms,” said Judd Borakove of Fitness EFX. “In many gyms, members work out alone, focused inward with their headphones on, watching TV, or checking themselves in the mirror. At CrossFit gyms, you won’t see mirrors and everyone interacts and encourages each other. It’s more fun and more friendly”.

Says Borakove “Our workouts focus on core training that uses body weight and resistance, not big expensive machines. The only computer technology in our facilities is the MoSo software that checks in our members at the front desk and schedules the group trainings.”

Crossfit Metro Center is the 3rd Washington D.C. area location for Fitness EFX, the team behind Crossfit Bethesda and Crossfit Extreme Fitness in Rockville. More locations are scheduled to open this year. The EFX facilities are not franchises of CrossFit, Inc. but rather licensed affiliates of the CrossFit method. Each CrossFit gym has a unique offering and approach to the experience they provide around the proven CrossFit method.

Now in its sixth year, the CrossFit Games are an annual fitness competition, where elite athletes from around the world compete to be crowned the “Fittest on Earth™.”

CrossFit is rapidly revolutionizing the fitness industry on a global scale, defining fitness as the ability to perform well at any athletic task, whether weightlifting, gymnastics, running or just plain survival. That’s why competitors continually mix it up with intense intervals and broad conditioning. Routine is the enemy. But, the one constant for true CrossFit competitors is their steadfast commitment to a healthy diet.

To establish a core wellness foundation, CrossFit promotes the Paleo diet, which is essentially about eating foods that have not been processed, incorporating lean protein sources and avoiding dairy and refined carbohydrates. For CrossFit athletes, Paleo is a way to eat healthy without adhering to performance-hindering and time-consuming practices, like counting calories or cutting fat.

“We are honored to support the 2012 CrossFit Games,” said Elisabeth Hasselbeck, owner/founder of the NoGii brand. Hasselbeck’s naturally gluten-free, NoGii Paleo Bars are formulated to appease even the fussiest palate and purest of Paleo dieters. With only all-natural and organic ingredients, NoGii Paleo Bars are a convenient source of “Paleoriffic” foods that provide a no-compromise solution for the Paleo lifestyle.

“While enduring 39 days of living off-the-land in the Australian Outback, participating in the reality TV show Survivor, I learned firsthand how this nutritional lifestyle change could dramatically alter my entire well being,” said Hasselbeck. “Improving my overall digestive function and energy levels, the Paleo dieting led to my life-changing realization and subsequent diagnosis of celiac disease.”

NoGii Paleo Bars are a natural choice for CrossFit athletes, who need a way to reenergize without slowing down.

From Pay-lee-NO to Paleo:

7 Steps for Jumping Into the Paleo Lifestyle

Ever since starting my blog, www.paleotable.com, in May of this year, I’ve fielded a lot of questions from people who insist that they can’t give up sweets, or cereal, or cheese, or ice cream…the list is endless. Ironically, most of them are CrossFitters, a field where “I can’t” is not part of the program. If you are reading WOD Talk, you are probably already committed to CrossFit. If you have not carried that commitment over to the rest of your lifestyle, I’ve outlined some steps to help you truly optimize your health and reach your fitness goals.

Strong is the New Skinny.

In the last ten years, millions of Americans, including Marsha Tieken and Adam Farrah, have come to live by this motto.

The two are the founders of the new concept on a healthier body image for society to embrace. Farrah is a kettble instructor as well as the author of “The Paleo Dieter’s Missing Link.” Tieken is a personal trainer and CrossFit instructor.

Farrah and Tieken’s new way of thinking aids women to be more comfortable with having a fit body and breaks downs society’s perception of the perfect body.

In other words, this has been the toughest week so far in my CrossFit adventure. I’ve been completely wiped out—sluggish, sore and irritable. It all amounts to fatigue—brought on by the continuation of bad habits and lifting too much weight.

Sport Psychology for Elite Fitness

CrossFitters are often rushing around between work, home and play and then training at maximum effort during high intensity WODS with a goal to do more work in less time. Phew! Our community is full of motivated, go-getters that are passionate and driven to be better and accomplish more. I am one of those people. CrossFitters train hard, work hard, play hard & live hard. The workouts are constantly challenging our ability to be more intense. I don’t believe it is healthy to go as hard as possible all the time. We need to insert breaks in our intensity in life and in fitness training to reach maximum results and a more balanced life.
