LVL 2 CERT

Our fearless leaders, John and Machiko recently spent two days at the Moss Park Armoury being challenged, both physically and mentally… ten hours of squats on day one had the fittest bodies hurting by day two. The CrossFit Level II Trainer Certification is the mental equivalent of Murph. It’s tough. And long. An enormous amount of work, enough adrenaline and cortisol to sink a small ship, and eagle eyes on every slip-up or omission. Nothing worth doing is easy, and the scoring at a Level II is anything but; the average attrition rate is upwards of 60%. The athletes and trainers who elected to have their performance scrutinized set themselves apart by the very act of being open to critique. As for those, like John and Machiko, who also managed to pass muster and receive their Level II Certificates? Well, they are virtuosos. Congratulations!
