Competitors
We compete.
Not just against one another, but against ourselves. It's why we are different. We prepare for the unknown, and we prepare for the real world. And in the real world, there is real competition. To find real progress, there are no easy days and no days off. Progress doesn't sleep.
We write an in house competitors program (www.AthleticVolume.com) that is now, unmatched. We program in cycles that take local, national, and world wide events into consideration.
Every single coach at HYPE is part of the process in how we build our program. We all workout every day doing the program we have written in house, most of the times with the general class. This creates a unique environment as games, regionals, and new to crossfit athletes all workout creating no hierarchy and no biases. Everyone is treated equally, and has an equal opporutnity to progress. The program we write is free to follow during any open hours, and generally there is always someone in the gym willing to hit an extra piece of fitness. We coach not just in the class, but also on the edges of the gym to ensure everyone is getting as fit as possible on their fitness journey.
We have competed in CrossFit, weightlifting, and powerlifting alike. We don't workout, we train. We train for the future, we train what we suck at, and we train to be better than our competition.
A better description of AV :
We are one of the only facilities that write our own in house competitors programming. www.AthleticVolume.com . It is for our coaches and athletes to follow so we can all progress with one another and push one another to get better on a day to day basis. Remote coaching is "ok", to an extent, but to be able to get your general crossfit and competitors program done in the same place offers a unique experience that many gyms can't match.
Our competitors are doing the same WOD the class does, but just follows the extra programming pre or post the daily WOD. We allow you to do 2-a-days to get all the work in during the week. (best times to complete double sessions are any time during morning 630am-1200pm, and 630pm-8pm). it integrates the general fitness population in with the competitors and lets everyone feed off the same energy source when working out. Pretty rare for working class fitness minded people to be able to do the same workouts as the regional level athletes every day of the week. The WOD's do not need to be specific to the person, just the intensity at which they complete the workout in is the major difference.
Athletic Volume is a program designed around the events us as a facility are training for. Most big events around the nation are considered, as well as local competitions, and we periodize our program accordingly. Our work is taken very seriously as we are trying to achieve excellence. No page goes unturned, no weakness is overlooked, and we train with a purpose. We test a lot of competition workouts in our program to see where we compare to last years statistics, and we run constantly evolving strength + gymnastics + endurance programs.
It is our goal to showcase those that have competed under HYPE's roof. We are proud of our work ethic and we are proud of those who have stepped away from the norm to tackle something they never thought possible.
