In our latest member feature, meet SH//FT member James from Huntington, NY.
SH//FT: What obstacle/s were you facing when you decided to join the SH//FT program?
James: Uncertainty leaving CompTrain for a new program… overtraining issues, clarifying longevity goals, was getting a bit burned out training.
SH//FT: How has SH//FT helped you overcome that/those obstacle/s?
James: I use the tactical programming, and it has been a welcome change of pace. I have built some strength and new levels of aerobic conditioning.
SH//FT: What does SH//FT provide that you value the most?
James: Diversity of programming. Giving me the programming a week ahead of time allows me to go into the week relaxed and looking forward to what’s coming.
SH//FT: What have been your results or the impact on your life from training with SH//FT?
James: Aerobic base and brute force strength.
SH//FT: Why did you choose to join SH//FT over another program/service?
James: I dug Brian McKenzie’s interviews and I started following the Instagram page. I was really curious about some of the workouts posted from the various programs – a hypoxic workout in particular was a blow me away moment. After getting my ass kicked by simply carrying a kettlebell front racked holding my breath and seconds later gasping for air made me realize there was a lot more to fitness than just WOD’ing to death.
SH//FT: What would you tell others who may be considering joining SH//FT?
James: Especially in the tactical world, I would say here is a program that will give you mixed energy system training, strength and power building, with a taste of some bleeding edge theories on performance.
