Athlete Spotlight – Meet Asad

HOW AMAZING DOES THIS GUY LOOK NOW……….

Name: Asad Chinoy

Age: 36

Occupation: Industrial Robotic Sales

Previous workout/exercise history before starting CrossFit? None. Completely new to working out

CrossFitting Since: August 2019

How did you learn about CrossFit Sting? Google search and a phone call with Danielle

Was it love at first WOD (Workout of the Day)? Yes. I have never pushed my body at all, so it was a real reality check.

Favorite WOD or movements?, AMRAPs, EMOTMs, HIIT, and anything with built in rest. Farmer Carry, Box Jump, and KBS. (Those acronyms mean as many rounds as possible, every minute on minute, and high intesity interval training).

Least favorite WOD or Movements? Cleans and Sit Ups

Favorite CrossFit Sting moment? The first time someone (Cammie Stair) cheered me on to finish the WOD. I had never had a stranger care about my accomplishments before. I’ll never forget that moment.

Why do you CrossFit? The feeling of accomplishment and progress. Everyday I feel things different in my body, and I feel more connect to my body.

Tell us something new about you that we don’t already know? CrossFit has helped me inspire a fitness culture in my household. I grew up without that, and have always struggled with getting into fitness. I feel more in control now.

Asad, we are so happy that you have found us. You are inspiring others in class and now you are the one cheering the others on! Congratulations on such a HUGE accomplishment and learning that it is never too late to start a path on a healthy lifestyle AND being able to enjoy it! Keep it up!

Why Group Fitness Classes Work

Ever find yourself just wandering around the gym thinking, “what should I do today”, or feeling uncomfortable on a specific piece of equipment? Avoid certain equipment for fear of getting hurt because you don’t know what to do? Do you wish you had someone to guide you and motivate you, but you can’t afford a personal trainer? Well, our group classes can accomplish all of that AND MORE. Here are the top reasons we came up with to start doing group fitness training here at Sting.

1. ACCOUNTABILITY. Here at CrossFit Sting we want you to show up! You get what you pay for and we are not charging a cheap monthly rate and hoping you don’t show up! Here members have an app to sign up for classes. Some do this a week ahead of time. Treat it like an appointment, have it on your schedule, and you will be less likely to skip. You can see how many are signed up for class and who is signed up for class. Make sure your friends are coming by checking the app. Classes are capped so that you can get the most attention from the coach and avoid it being overcrowded.

2. TECHNIQUE/FORM. Since each class is led by a trained professional you are always in good hands. Not only do they watch that you are using good form and technique, they know your strengths and weaknesses and can adjust any movement or workout as needed. Something bothering you that day? Have a nagging old injury? Need a modification? No problem! Everyone is at different stages in their journey but we can all get a good workout in together.

3. MOTIVATION/SUPPORT. In a group fitness class you will be surrounded by like minded people. Working out along side others will keep you motivated and push you harder than you would yourself. Usually in our classes the slowest person receives the greatest encouragement, support, and cheers from the rest of the class. We track all the workouts you complete and you can physically SEE your improvements. You can see in writing if you are faster, stronger, and in better shape. The people you workout with will become your friends and continued motivators. They will find you, hunt you down, and make you get to class. So, now you have motivation, support, and accountability from not only the trainer but other members too. We are not a place where everyone walks around with headphones on and doesn’t speak to each other.

4. STRUCTURE/VARIETY. Here at CrossFit Sting we tell people you just need to walk through the doors and we will take care of the rest. From warm up, to the workout, and the cool down you have an instructor helping you along the way. Classes are structured but there is no limit to the variety we provide. Everyday is a new and exciting workout so you do not get bored. No more 30 minutes on the treadmill and then a boring circuit through the same machines.  Break that boring routine and come feel what a great variety we provide and why it gets results.

5. FUN. From the music to the people, we promise you will have some fun. Working out doesn’t mean “no pain, no gain”. You need to want to come back and we will make that happen. You shouldn’t dread going to the gym.  Having others to motivate you and keeping it new and fresh will make it a fun experience every single day!

LET’S GET YOU STARTED!
