Price Increase in November

Greetings ALL PRO Members,

As many of you are already aware, we are in the process of rebranding & expanding our business into Sessions:6 Sport Performance (and S:6 CrossFit). We have a lot of exciting new things on the horizon including a new space, new equipment, new class options, and much more. Exciting stuff!
In order to help facilitate the growth, we need to raise our prices. Our current prices are significantly under the standard rate in the metro Denver area. While we strive to provide an economical option for our members, we have to be able to pay our bills in order to stay in business. This price increase will come in two phases:
  1. Current & New Members in Current Space
  2. New Members in New Space

I. Aerobic Conditioning

Written by: Cody Waite, 2015

To expand upon the concept of the Sessions:6 “Six Components to Sport Performance”, the following article digs deeper into the first component: Aerobic Conditioning. 

When people think of the word “fitness” the mind often go first to aerobic conditioning, giving an athlete the ability to “go” and keep going. This is especially true for endurance sports like running and cycling with extended periods of exertion; while also true for strength and power sports with repeated high intensity efforts like football, soccer, basketball, etc. Building up the endurance to go the distance is a primary objective for those athletes newer to athletic training and/or those training for long distance endurance events. But training to go long is not the only piece of the aerobic conditioning puzzle to complete your metabolic masterpiece.

Aerobic conditioning can be thought of as two distinct elements: 

  1. Endurance 
  2. Speed

Think of these two elements in these defining ways: endurance is the ability to maintain pace while speed is the ability to create pace. To be successful in sport and fitness you need to maximize both endurance and speed through creative training strategies that address both segments in effective quantities. The shorter your goal event, the greater an emphasis on speed and power will be required, while the longer your goal event, the greater an emphasis on endurance will be required.

Regardless of the length or duration of the events you are training for, you need to train both elements to maximize your aerobic conditioning and sport performance.
