Performance Board

In todays society we often hear others talking about what it means to be "in shape". At Garage Gym we have our performance standards which we feel clients should work towards improving or maintaining a sufficient capacity, based on goals, abilities, training age, and age. We find this important with progressing our clients to higher levels of fitness and health. This board is designed to create awareness around oneself and their personal abilities. It allows clients to stay focused on specific lifts/events, if that is what they find motivating. Others may look at fitness as becoming balanced, flexible and happy, which has powerful meaning to it also.

We are hanging a 4x8 sheet of blackboard at GG which will have current gym records and accomplishments.

It will be divided into a few different categories
1) Male/female
2) 18-40
3) 40+

This will get some of you thinking in terms of performance and some personal goals along with an awareness of what others are doing around you. This is a basic outline of what GG considers important lifts/events in determining balanced fitness which we all know is a major factor in overall health.
