Coach Sean leading On Ramp, take charge and change your life sign up for the June On Ramp or jump into a private On Ramp today, you'll be glad you did.....

From Coach Sean:

For most people one of the hardest things to do is look in the mirror, and I don't mean due to physical appearance (though that can make it a little difficult sometimes). The reason this is difficult, at least for me, is because when I look in the mirror I'm forced to confront myself. I'm sure most people get like this sometimes. Did I try my hardest? Did I push through pain? Can I hold my head up knowing that I honestly gave my all, or did I cave because things got a little difficult.

When I look in the mirror at night one of the questions I always have to ask myself is "what did I do to improve myself today". Whether its setting a new PR in the gym, studying and understanding a new concept, or learning new information, there has to be something. I never feel more useless than a day when I accomplish nothing. Simply existing is unacceptable (Ex: participation trophies) and I like to imagine most people feel the same way, but people watching for more than 5 minutes disproves that.

And it's not really ability that's important, its the effort put into it. I am just as happy when someone moves from jumping pullups to green band pullups as I am when someone learns to string together muscle ups, because the effort is there. You'll never get better by just showing up and existing. Next time you look in the mirror, try and be honest with yourself. Did you put the effort in to improve yourself, or were you satisfied with just taking up space?

-Due to the Northeast Regionals CFH will be closed on May 25-May 27 please plan accordingly, hopefully you will all be there to support CFH in Canton!

-We will be having one class on Memorial Day May 28th at 9am, come in for "Murph." Maybe a little CFH barbeque after? Post to comments if your in.

6:30pm at the start of "Jackie".....

From Coach Trish:

We all have days when we’re in a rut. We all have days when we don’t want to go to the gym. We all have days when it’s way too easy to cave in and grab one of those donuts that a coworker brought in. We all have those days. We’re all human.

But it’s days like these that are more important than ever to stay on track. To get to the gym. To exercise self control and eat what you brought for lunch and not indulge in those tasty temptations.

You might feel like the daily grind has gotten the best of you and you don’t have the energy for the gym. But you will feel better after your workout. Guarantee your head will be cleared of whatever is bringing you down. It’s amazing what a grueling WOD and good sweat can do for the psyche.

You might feel like that impulse purchase from the vending machine will give you the little boost that you need to get through your day. But it won’t satisfy you nearly as much as knowing that you can and WILL resist the urge. Leave the leftover birthday cake on the table for a weaker individual, not me, though. I’m not eating it.

You might have a million excuses why you don’t want to go to the gym. I’m tired. My allergies are bothering me. The weather is bringing me down. I’ve got too many other errands to run. Put yourself on a schedule and commit to getting to the gym on those days. For one hour a day, work out like it’s your job.

It’s those days when you feel the worst, that you probably actually need it the most. Keep the diet dialed, and get to the gym. Guarantee they’ll be someone here glad to see you :)
