CrossFit Scottsdale Connections

CrossFit Scottsdale Networking. Click below to view alphabetically or by industry.

So….you come to CrossFit Scottsdale weekly, completing an extensive workout for an hour full of push-ups, pull-ups and squats, and you workout alongside several fellow CrossFitters on a regular basis, and you still don't know anything about their profession, worse, they don't know what you do. Well, lets fix that.

The event will rotate to a local CrossFitter's place of business monthly on the third Tuesday of the month from noon-1pm. The first Connections event you attend is free, come check it out. Lunch will be provided. Please email Ashley@CrossFitScottsdale.com to let us know if you would like to sign up and/or if you will be attending this months meeting.

The Body Balance Diet is all about Balance in your life. I created this terrific program because I’ve been on several diets over the years but continued to struggle with the right balance. Why do people fail? Because they don’t find the balance with what to eat, how much to eat, when to eat, and how to make it all work in the real world. Balance will come with the right knowledge.

The program is broken up into two 21 day stages. In stage 1, we kick start your weight loss and get the fat moving fast. I will teach you about whole foods, the foods around the perimeter of the grocery store. You will learn how they will work with you to achieve the optimal health and weight you are looking for. I won’t tell you to go workout for 1-2 hours a day either. Instead we will hear from Fitness Expert and Coach Luke Kayyem owner of CrossFit Scottsdale,  together we will teach you the tools needed to workout smarter, not harder.

Once you have the fundamentals down you will progress to Stage 2. We are going to add some more food choices and teach you about all the healthy food combinations you can enjoy. The Body Balance Diet enables you to live life consciously and gives you the knowledge to make the best decisions possible so that you can have balance in your life. For you CrossFitters I like to help you understand by saying The Body Balance Diet, is practically Paleo.

    CrossFit is a fitness and conditioning system used by many elite athletes, military, police and fire departments all over the world.  It is highly effective at creating what we call “elite fitness”.  This is very similar to what a martial artist would call a black belt.  It’s both a fitness and skill based system that takes both training and practice to master, which is something that can take years.   CrossFit combines functional movements and high intensity in a pattern that has no pattern – it is constantly varied.  It was specifically designed to develop general physical preparation and skills, which means it can be used by anyone for anything – from simply improving your way of life to helping your perform in a sport at an elite level.  People that CrossFit are usually astounded by the results – they are suddenly able to do things that were never in their realm of possibility like a rope climb, pull up or handstand – so for them, they can quite literally, “Do the Impossible!”

    Our Goal: To protect the assets of small business owners, their employees, the self employed, and retired individuals. Among our greatest assets are our health, the well being of our loved ones, and our ability to earn income.

    The purpose of insurance is to protect against financial loss. When most people think of a benefits package their main focus is on such things as deductibles and co-pays for items like doctor visits, emergency rooms, and prescriptions. In reality, they are asking insurance companies to pay for the expenses that they could indeed afford if they had to (over insured). Remember: Insurance companies are in business to make money. They only remain profitable if your premiums exceed your benefits.

    Fact: The number one cause of small business failure in America today is a major medical event (illness, or injury) of the business owner. Surprisingly, the majority of these people had health insurance. They were actually over insured, yet under protected!

    Would your current medical plan replace lost income during an unforeseen health situation? If not, how long would it be before your family and business were in financial jeopardy? It makes more sense to take the money you are spending to cover minor expenses, and use it to insure against cost that would devastate you.

    Golden Gates Agency has established partnerships with best in class insurance companies, to protect your financial security. All of which have been chosen for their financial integrity and stellar claims paying records. We provide a personalized analysis of your exposure to risk due to illness, injury or death, and develop a comprehensive, well-balanced plan to address those risks while saving you money by eliminating coverage for items that pose little or no threat to your financial security.

    • Health Insurance
    • Medicare Supplements
    • Supplemental Plans
    • Life Insurance
    • Long Term Care
    • Annuities
