Got 3 hours a week? Are you bored with your usual gym workout? Are you still not getting the results you’re looking for? With LiftHard Philippines’ innovative MetCon classes (CrossFit), FitCamp (total body program), sensational group atmosphere, and well-experienced coaches – 3 hours a week are all you need to get in the best shape of your life.
Does this sound like an infomercial? If you answered yes, you probably haven’t joined the fastest-growing strength and conditioning program known as CrossFit.
CrossFit plays a big part in my workout routine for almost 3 years now. What I like about CrossFit is the unique form of camaraderie that is so powerful. You join a fun community and make new friends who encourage you to live a healthy lifestyle and help you push your boundaries.
Fitness Programs
The LiftHard FitCamp is a program, designed to give a total body workout and improve overall fitness level in the shortest time possible. Expect running, athletic drills, bodyweight exercises, plyometrics drills, and a lot of functional movements for 60 minutes.
The LiftHard MetCon Metabolic Conditioning (CrossFit) classes are programmed to develop well-rounded fitness and athleticism by constantly changing variables like exercise movement types, intensity duration, and technical demands. We take elements of Weightlifting, Powerlifting & Gymnastics and mix it up to provide excellent strength and metabolic conditioning that is suited for both the beginner and advanced athletes. The workload for the class is scaled and modified to each member’s individual level.
The Barbell Club If you want to improve your strength and develop your lifting techniques, this class is good for you. They have this individualized program tailored to specific strength goals.
CrossFit LiftHard Review
My best friend and I visited their box in Pasig a few weeks ago. It’s kinda hard to find because you have to enter a narrow road from the main avenue. When we got there, the security guard asked us if we’re going to attend a gymnastic class.
My friend and I looked at each other and I realized that maybe he was talking about the handgrips that are similar to gymnastics. I smiled and said “Yeah”. He said the gym is on the 2nd floor. When we entered the room, we were surprised at how spacious the gym was. You can literally move around and do your 200 meters run from one end to another.
We approached the reception desk, coaches Louise and Ken greeted us with a smile. They asked us to fill out a form with medical and fitness questionnaires (stuff like if we have injuries/surgery in the past, fitness goals: losing weight, building muscle, developing strength, etc.).
After signing, coach Ramil called out attention and introduced us to the class. He guided us through the warm-up exercise, skill work, the Workout of the Day (WOD) and cool down.
The Verdict: We like it! The workout was so intense, it feels like I burned over 500 calories in just one session. It’s tiring but not exhausting. Coach Ramil was full of energy and he makes sure that we have the correct form when doing a specific workout.
The hardest part of the program was the pull-ups. I can’t do it but I’m working on it. Good thing they have resistance pull-ups bands for beginners. I also like the scoring system they have on the whiteboard, scaling helps so you can see how much you improved over time.
Now I know why they like using the famous hashtag #onepercentbetter … If you improve one percent a day, then in 100 days, guess what? You’re 100 percent better. (Coach Carter)
