“Back To Business!!!”

Long Post… READ IT!!!

I’m Sure You’re Probably Bored Of Re-Reading The “Friends & Family” Post… So Lets’ Start With A Little Change…

Part 1…

Some Of You Might Have Thought That January 1st, 2015 Would Be Some Kind Of Resurrection…

The Holiday Season Is Rough!!!

First comes Halloween… For me, no big deal… Just get a costume… Party.. Done…

Then everyone starts to “Get In The Holiday Spirit”, which pretty much means, “I Get To Eat Whatever The F–K I Want Until January 1st!!!”

Thanksgiving comes around… And you stuff your face… Especially if you have to travel to “visit” multiple families…

After Thanksgiving, you have a few weeks until Christmas… But you’re thinking, “Ehhh… A few weeks won’t hurt… So you continue to stuff your face until Christmas…

But even before Christmas, you have all of your “Christmas Parties” to attend…

Then Christmas comes around… And again… Stuffing your face… And most likely you have to “visit” multiple families with means more stuffing your face…

Then you have a few more days until you start your “New Year’s Resolution” on January 1st, 2015, but then wake up on January 1st, 2015, and realize that your HUNGOVER AS F–K and all you want to a Big Ass Greasy Breakfast!!!

Then… (I’m Not Stupid…) You realize that it’s Thursday… And think… “Ehhhh… I’ll start on Monday, January 5th…”

Hey… F–K It… If tha’ts your feelings on the Holidays… Keep on with the Holiday Festivities…

JUST COME READY FOR A REALITY CHECK COME MONDAY!!!

Well… Tomorrow Is January 6th… And 5 Years Later… Still Holds True…

Part 2…

SOME OF YOU GOT BIT BY THE COMPETITON BUG THIS PAST SATURDAY!!!

I Think That The Best Way To “Start” Your Competitive CrossFit Career Is A “Local” Competition… I Also Think That The Best Way To Keep Your Competitive CrossFit Career Is A “Local” Competition…

THINK YOU’RE READY?!?! GET WITH ME!!! I Won’t Lie To You… I’ll Tell You What Division I Feel You’re Ready For… I’ll Suggest Who Should Be Your Partner… Most Importantly… I’ll Help The 2 Of You Train & Compete To The Best Of Your Ability… What Does This Mean?!?! Be Ready For Some Changes To The Saturday Sweat Sessions… More On That To Come… And NO!!! THAT DOESN’T MEAN YOU GET TO SLEEP IN WHILE THE NORMAL SATURDAY SWEAT SESH WORK OUTS!!!

Part 3…

Happy Birthday Ari!!!

Luis Is OK… But You Rock Ari!!!

I Have Always… And Still Do… Looked/Look @ You Like A Little Sister…

World Works In Mysterious Ways… I Still Remember “Personal Training” Your Mom… And Espedi… @ L.A. Fitness Way Back In 2007… From “Personal Trainer”… To Being Invited To The 1st Of Many Of Your Families Crazy BBQs/Parties… To Meeting You… To Introducing & Coaching You In “CrossFit”… To You Becoming Part Of Mine & Danielley’s Life… To Crazy Vegas Trips… To You Meeting Luis… To You Two Getting Married… To The Two Of You Moving Away…

You… Luis… And Your Mom & Dad…Will Always Be A Big Part Of Our Lives…

You Have Accomplished So Much In Your Life Already…

Proud Of You… And I Know It Doesn’t Need To Be Said… But You Know…

No Matter How Far Away… You… And Luis… Will Always Be Part Of Not Only The RainCross Family… But The Macias Family…

Happy Birthday Ari!!! And Yes.. We Love You To Luis…

KJ… Jaxi… & Bailey Say Happy Birthday As Well… And They Miss You Guys!!!

And Finally…

Part 4…

Well…

If That’s Not Enough To Show You How “RainCross” Is More Than Just A Gym… Come In & Find Out!!!

Re-Post…

You’re Gonna See This “Post” Up For The Next Few Days… With Some Slight Changes…

SO DON’T JUST SCROLL DOWN TO THE WOD!!!

“Be Our Guest!!!”

NOT The 1st Time For “RainCross”…

BUT…

1st Time For RainCross Strength & Conditioning/RCSC CrossFit @ The Station…

“Be Our Guest” Week!!!

That’s Right!!!

Everyday Next Week… Monday-Saturday…

Bring In Your Friends… Your Family… Your Neighbors… Your Co-Workers… The People You Work For… The People Who Come To Your Work For Your Services… Your Teachers… Your Students… Your Doctor… Your Dentist… Your Hair Stylist… Your Barber… Your Mail (Wo)Man… Your Favorite Server/Bartender @ Your Favorite Restaurant/Bar… That Person/Those People Who You See Working Out @ “That Other Gym” You Go To & Cringe With Every Rep They Perform… That Random Person You See @ The Store Who Is Wearing “CrossFit Shoes” Or Wearing A “Fitness Inspired” T-Shirt Or Hoodie…

ANYONE!!!

Never Stepped Foot In A Gym??? Kinda Works Out But LOVES TACOS & PIZZA??? HARDCORE FITNESS ENTHUSIAST???

All Week… Monday-Saturday… Danielley & I Welcome All Of You To Invite Any & All Family & Friends To See What All This “CrossFit” Stuff Is About…

More Importantly…

1… To See Who These Crazy “RainCross” People Are…

& 2…  To See What This Whole “RainCross” Thing Is All About…

No Strings Attached… For An Entire Week… They Can Come In & GET COACHED & Train For Free…

All THEY Have To Do Is… 2 Things… Sign The Waiver… And Come In With An Open Mind…

All YOU Have To Do Is… DON’T SCARE THE S–T OUT OF THEM!!!

Yes… Give Them A Heads Up On What They Are About To Get Into…  But… I Would Like To Think That By Now… All Of You Know/Feel I’m Pretty Good At My Job…

There’s Been Too Many Times When I’ve Had RainCross Athletes Tell Their Friends/Family/Whoever This…

“Dude… Coach Mando Is Going To F–Kin Destroy You!!!”

I Usually See 4 Outcomes Of That…

1… You Just Scared The S–T Out Of Them And… Even Though They Swore Up & Down The Day/Night Before That They Would Come… They Don’t…

2… After Scaring Them… For Whatever Reason… They Show Up!!! And… They Think You’re “Full Of S–T” Cause I Don’t Turn Out To Be That Bad!!!

3… They Come In With An “I Can Take This Guy” Attitude & Ruins Everyone Else’s Trianing Experience… CHECK YOUR EGO AT THE DOOR!!!

4… They Come In With An “I Can Take This Guy” Attitude… See That I’m Actually Trying To Help Them… And End Up Loving Me For Furthering Their GAINZ!!!

I Guess There’s Number 5… Writing A Bad Yelp Review Because I Didn’t Let Them Lift A 505lbs DeadLift On Their 1st Day… I Mean Come On… Dude’s Wearing A “TapOut” Shirt… Has To Be Legit… Right?!?!

Just Know…

There Is No Way In Hell They Would Be Asked To Perform Today’s WorkOut of the Day Below…

Let Them Know That When They Read The Blog (Give Them A Heads Up On What They Are About To Get Into… THEY SHOULD READ THE BLOG EVERYNIGHT… AS ALL OF YOU SHOULD!!!) That Every WOD… Every Lift… Every Movement… Can & Will Be Scaled/MODified To Fit Everybody… Or… More Importantly…

TO MAKE EVERYBODY FIT!!!

All The WODs We Perform This Week (All The WODs We Perform ANY Week…) Are Designed To Be Challenging For The “Beginner” Athlete… The “In The Middle” Athlete… The “Advanced” Athlete… And The “ELITE” Athlete..

To Break It Down Even Further…

I Believe There Is Another Group Of Secret “Divisions” Within RainCross That You May Or May Not “File” Yourself In… (Or That I May “File” You In)… The “Competitive Beginner” Athlete… The “Competitive In The Middle” Athlete… The “Competitive Advanced” Athlete… And The “Competitive ELITE” Athlete… If You Fall In These Divisions… We Need To Talk Because There Is A Local Competition Coming Up!!!

But That’s Another Story…

Everyday… Each Session Will Have The Same “Cap” On ZenPlanner… 8 Athletes…

If You Are Planning On Bringing A Guest… Or GUESTS… To A Certain Session… Text Me 1st So I Can Have A Heads Up… I Will Let You Know If Its “Good To Go” Or A “No Go”…

If Theres A “Capped Out” Session & Everyone Is Bringing 1 Guest… SWEET!!!

If Theres A “Capped Out” Session & Only 1 Person Is Bringing 8 Guests… SWEET!!!

16 Per Class… With RainCross Athletes & Guests Included Is The Limit…

Strength & Conditioning Sessions… NOT Boot Camps!!!

At The End Of The Day… I Want Everyone To Get In A Great… SAFE Work Out…
