Brutal in its execution
Unmatched in its results

SHEEPDOGS
This was taken by a book titled On Combat by Lt COL (Ret) Dave Grossman, and is best explained in a letter by Major Charles Grennel, US Army, written to a student at the University of Washington.(Jill Edwards and other students had planned to protest the honoring of Medal of Honor recipient Colonel Greg Boyington, USMC)
But you are not a critter. As a human being, you can be whatever you want to be. It is a conscious, moral decision. If you want to be a sheep, then you can be a sheep and that is okay, but you must understand the price you pay. 
When the wolf comes, you and your loved ones are going to die if there is not a sheepdog there to protect you. If you want to be a wolf, you can be one, but the sheepdogs are going to hunt you down and you will never have rest, safety, trust, or love. 
But if you want to be a sheepdog and walk the warrior's path, then you must make a conscious and moral decision every day to dedicate, equip and prepare yourself to thrive in that toxic, corrosive moment when the wolf comes knocking at the door.

We tend to forget that happiness doesn't come as a result of getting something we don't have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have. ~Frederick Keonig

Introductory Training Session
The Real Show Stopper...by John U. Bacon
100908 Intro-Anyone interested in Crossfit can sample our training through an Introductory training session. We have them go through our "Baseline" workout. This will give them a starting point for their training. We also talk about goals and expectations. We explain our training philosophy and the benefits.
Typically, people immediately know if this is the type of training for them or not.

People at STX constantly impress us by their increased fitness levels. They walk in, check the whiteboard and get to work. Their results are evident as their times decrease and their weights increase. More importantly they realize the benefits as they walk through their daily activities.
When we look at the people that are successful inside of our, box we notice some interesting trends. First, they get it done. Second, they clearly have goals for their fitness and know what those goals are. Third, they lead an active lifestyle.
Successful athletes get it done. You can see them push themselves to their limit. You can see when they want to let go on pull-ups but they get one more rep. You can recognize when their mind is unsure if the body can withstand another 10 seconds at the bottom of the squat but they overcome the mind and create the result.
We know they set goals and they know what the goals are. It is not unusual for the successful athlete at STICKS to come to a trainer and say "I finally did a workout at prescribed weight" or "I got my first pull-up today" or, "I PR'ed my FRAN time". They have a vision for what they will accomplish, they know what they want out of their fitness and work a plan to achieve the goal.
Finally, we know that our successful athletes lead active lives. From the outside looking in, it appears that their STICKS training is in place so they can go out and enjoy the world they live in, they can get the most out of the activities that bring a sense of wellness, balance and life to their daily routine.
Now for the secret. Not everyone that is a "stud" in the box has always been that way. Their background stories are vastly different and their health history are not all stellar. The difference between the successful and those that come in, spin their wheels, don't come consistently, quit and renew only to quit again is DECIDING. You can be successful at STICKS, you can live as a fit, active person that is happy with your fitness level and healthy lifestyle, just decide that this is you. Once you decide, set a goal, ask how to accomplish it, look to the trainers for support when you need it, and go for it. You will be glad you did.

After participating in the WOD Classes our members experience results such as a stronger heart, lower body fat, increased energy level and greater strength. We try to caution people to use their new found strength for good and not evil. Some have a harder time with this than others.
