FITNESS RESULTS FROM ACADEMY 2009-01 !











The time elapsed between pre and post fitness assessments were 10 weeks. There were a total of 8 recruits. Ages ranged from 23 to 40 years old.

  • Every recruit had a drop in resting heart rate (an indicator of heart health). 14 beats per minute was the average.
  • Every recruit had a drop in body fat percentage. 2.14% was the average
  • Every recruit had an increase in aerobic capacity. 5.4% was the average
  • Every recruit had an increase in flexibility (specifically the lower back). 28.4%
  • Recruits averaged a 14% improvement in grip strength
  • Recruits averaged a 9.1% improvement in leg strength
  • Recruits averaged a 27.6% increase in core strength

The recruits collectively lost over 32 pounds of fat and gained over 15 pounds of muscle!

*A special thanks goes out to Mike, Brandon, and all the CrossFit trainers at the gym for making this happen. Great job guys!
