I’d like to share my transformation journey at Sand & Steel. I started with personal training a year ago to date, and started taking their CrossFit classes a few months later. One year later, I’m now in the best shape of my life and getting stronger everyday. Sand & Steel’s unique approach to personal training worked for me. I’m sure it’ll work for you too.
Master the 88 base poses of yoga. Each base pose in yoga has 10-20 variations. We systematically find the best variation for you during the alignment yoga class. Each class features 15 unique poses that teach and modify for you. Once you know your variation of each pose, we flow the poses together into an individual crafted yoga vinyasa. Alignment 88 is uniquely designed to be challenging even for certified yoga teachers, while still being approachable to the absolute beginner.

From the outside looking in, joining CrossFit Sand & Steel was daunting. After 30 days in, I’m happy to say that none of my fears were warranted. I love that Sand & Steel includes everyone, regardless of fitness level, and makes sure we are all trained safely. I just completed my first competition…and I actually enjoyed it. I never thought I could do this, and I wanted to let you know:
YES, YOU CAN DO THIS TOO!!

Loops bands or hips loops are used for conditioning and strengthening the hips and thighs. Compared to their rubber counterparts, aka, the mini-band, loop bands are heavier weight and more durable. Loops bands are also easier to put on than mini-bands. Alternatively, mini-bands are less expensive and better for lower resistance exercises. If you are serious about glute training, both should be in your training toolbox.

In a word — YES. We recommend taking at least one personal training, one mobility class, and one CrossFit class per week. Personal Training to teach you the foundations, mobility to improve your flexibility and control, CrossFit to improve your conditioning.
Exercise is essential for good health, but I am assuming you already know that. But did you know Mobility Training is just as essential? Do you even know what Mobility Training is and how it differs from concepts like flexibility, yoga, and stretching? That’s what this article is all about. Because without sufficient mobility, you cannot be all that you wish to be. This applies whether your chosen craft is golf, strength training, CrossFit, or endurance running. You are not as efficient as a runner, you are more likely to get injured as a golfer, you are slower in CrossFit than you ought to be, and as a powerlifter, your recovery times are slower. Mobility is critical for all sports and physical activities. Period.
