ATHLETIC LEVEL TESTING

If you are interested in taking your fitness to the next level, you do not want to miss this upcoming week long event. LALANNE FITNESS will conduct an entire week of tests/workouts, every 8 weeks. The first ATHLETIC LEVEL TESTING will begin Monday, Sept. 13th thru Saturday, Sept. 18th. Our class schedule will remain the same and all classes will be managed accordingly. Each test or class will include 1, 2 or 3 movements that you will all be familiar with. Movement will be modified as needed, all students will participate. Once again, if you are one of those students that would like to get to the next level (from LEVEL 1 to 2), I highly recommend you do not miss these classes. Below is an example of what to expect... (Test 1 = Day 1)



The LALANNE FITNESS program is for ALL LEVELS. Our students start as a BEGINNER and over time, move on to LEVEL 1, 2 and then 3. Progressing from BEGINNER to LEVEL 1 is a learning process that includes understanding and demonstrating competence within a pool of functional movements. The ATHLETIC LEVEL ASSESSMENT sheet was created to provide our students with a list of functional movements and spaces to record consecutive repetitions, load and time for each performance. The ATHLETIC LEVEL KEY determines approximate level. This "self-assessment" is fairly passive and ultimately not very effective. Recently, I decided to put all of this in to practice. A group of LEVEL 2 students attempted to complete a series of movements known as the "RX Checklist." This was a bit more effective but limited participation due to the skill and strength needed to compete all 30 TASKS. I am now focusing my efforts on TESTING for BEGINNER / LEVEL 1 students, in addition to our more advanced group.

In an effort to provide each one of our students the opportunity to be TESTED, I am currently developing a system of which the design and scoring will be modeled after the CrossFit Journal article. How fit are you? There will not be any specific days/times dedicated to the new LEVEL TESTING, it will be integrated in to our programming and classes. All you have to do is keep showing up to class!
