Here’s why you have a coach:
There’s too much out there. Too many diet plans, too many supplements, too many workout programs or even daily WODs. You know you can’t do everything. A lot of it looks—or sounds—good.
But you can’t do it all, and trying to do too much will actually set you back. I’m guilty!
Everyone knows about overtraining, and we’re all scared of getting injured. But most don’t realize there’s an optimal amount of training to do, just as there’s an optimal amount of food to eat.
Too little, and your progress will be slow. But doing too many workouts has the exact same effect.
We choose CrossFit for our group training because it’s a great balance: It’s not too little and it’s not too much. But even as hard as CrossFit workouts are, many people are tempted to do more: to add a little “recovery run,” or even to do multiple workouts in a day. This is NOT the path to success.
More is NOT better. Better is better.
You have a coach. That coach is your filter.
Your coaches are here to tell you what’s optimal, not what’s minimal.
At Milestone, our coaches want to talk to you every 3-4 months. One-on-one, in person. We want to ask about your goals, review your progress, and then give you the best possible prescription.
Here’s a link to book the goal review. It’s part of your membership!

What we DON’T want is for you to have to guess.
We don’t want you to try fad diets just because someone else is doing them. We don’t want you to drink a gallon of milk a day just because you saw it online (truth: this was a CrossFit fad circa 2011). We don’t even want you to do what everyone else in the gym is doing, because their program is theirs. It’s not yours. Train in a group, tailor individually: That’s what our coaches do.
You have a coach.
They’re a filter.
Next time you see a workout online and think, “Oooooh, that looks spicy! Gotta try it after noon group tomorrow!” ask your coach if it fits your goals. Take it from us, we’ve learned the hard way!
