I had a few *really good* phone calls yesterday with some of our future boot campers and I want to share some nuggets from those chats. I love it when you guys dig in and want to know exactly what goes on at OUR bootcamp, because it IS different from the "typical bootcamp" that you may be familiar with. I also understand it can be pretty intimidating wondering what’s 'behind the scenes' at this award-winning place in Hermitage. So...here goes...BootCamp 615 includes:

-6 weeks of physical training, built around making your mind & body strong!
-3 sessions per week, jam-packed with 60 minutes of education + nutrition + lifestyle coaching + workouts designed for your level of fitness.
-your graduation towards a healthier lifestyle and stronger body
-and the RESULTS that you deserve!

One of the biggest questions I get is "do I have to be in shape to get started?" or "what does everyone else in the group look like?" I promise you that we have people of ALL ages, sizes, physical backgrounds, and fitness levels come through our doors. Of course, people will finish the program in great shape, but OUR JOB is to educate and support you through the program to get you to that point!

If you're ready for the next step, it’s just $49 to reserve your spot and see if this program is right for you.

615-496-4080
We’ve already got the first handful of people set up and ready to go for October 8...hope you can join them!

We want to THANK YOU ALL again for voting for CrossFit Hermitage as "BEST GYM" during this year's Toast of Music City readership poll. Sadly, we didn't hit the #threepeat we were hoping to achieve with that number one spot...but we DID take home 2nd place this year. It took a multi-location franchise gym with FIVE of their locations to beat little 'ole us...so we are THRILLED!

We LOVE that you guys are so passionate about your CFH family and we're humbled that so many of you voted to put us in the running again this year - that just means the world to us. Big hugs, much love, and huge thanks!

3 Cs: How Dr. Autumn Blackburn went from Cheerleader to Couch Potato to CrossFitter!

Autumn was a competitive high school and college cheerleader with terrible eating habits, like so many other young ladies out there. Her idea of being healthy was drinking Diet Coke and popping diet pills, no joke. After her cheerleading days came to an end, she gained about 40 pounds as she moved into 'adult life' (sound familiar?).

After undergrad, she decided to really take control of her health AND jump into action helping others by attending Palmer College of Chiropractic. While there, she learned a lot about eating *real food* and she finally understood *true health*...but she was still missing a piece of the puzzle...an intelligent exercise routine.

At the time, she walked 4-7 miles/day and although she lost some weight, she was also losing muscle, driving her poor body into the ground, depleting her energy, and feeling sick all the time. During that time (2011), she fractured her leg and badly injured her knee. In fact, she had an orthopedic doctor tell her that she would never be able to jump, run on uneven surfaces, squat, lunge, etc....so she babied her knee for years...UNTIL NOW!

Autumn's training at CrossFit Hermitage has taught her how to dial in the nutrition info she learned in college, drop body fat & change her body composition, safely build her strength, and made her knee FINALLY feel strong again! She has now checked Tough Mudder off her bucket list; hit a 250# back squat; and competed in a number of in-house and local CrossFit competitions.

In her own words: "I'm so glad I found a workout program I WANT to attend and I've stuck to for years now. I love the fact that as a chiropractor I can appreciate how CrossFit Hermitage improves people's functionality and helps everyone gain strength & prevent injuries. After my competitive cheerleading days ended, I had given up on ever being 'fit' again and I actually used to joke that I 'peaked' back in college. Now I can confidently say I'm on my way to being in the best shape of my life."

Our next BOOTCAMP 615 program starts with our kick-off event on Saturday, Oct. 8.

On September 11, 2001, the United States was brutally attacked. Today, we pay tribute to those whose lives were taken from us too soon; we honor those police officers and firefighters who fought to protect us; and we remember as a way to remain united as a nation.

9/11 Tribute WOD
2001m Row or 2001m Run (1.25 miles)
11 Box Jumps (30/24″)
11 Thrusters (125/85#)
11 Burpee Chest to Bar Pull-ups
11 Power Cleans (170/120#)
11 HSPUs
11 KB Swings (55/35#)
11 T2B
11 Deadlifts (170/120#)
11 Push Jerks (110/75#)
2001m Row or 2001m Run (alternate from your starting option)

This workout symbolizes the events that unfolded on September 11, 2001 in its design.
The date and year are represented by the row (i.e. 2001 meters) and the 9 movements, each including 11 repetitions.
The 125-pound Thrusters represent the deaths that occurred at the Pentagon; the 175-pound Power Clean stands for AA Flight 175 that collided with the South Tower; Flight 77 and Flight 93 were combined and are represented in the 170-pound Deadlift; and the 110-pound Push Jerk signifies the number floors in each of the Twin Towers.

Join us today and help us pay a small tribute to those who were lost.
