STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING

What are you up to? How is cali treating you? How is the business going?

dave,
I just stumbled upon your website and I have to tell you that I'm disappointed.
Before I chose the name "Spartan Performance" I went through every affiliate and every search engine I could think of to see if the name was being used for Any strength and conditioning facilities or any type of physical training. It wasn't so we went with it.
I just found out that you are using basically the same name. I understand that legally by adding in the "training" you've made it "right", but it doesn't make really make it right. Not in the sense that I understand "right" to be.
What trouble me most is that you came to visit us when we were in our "infancy" as a business. We were wearing "spartan performance" t-shirts so it wasn't as if you were unaware.
I suppose i expected a better set of principles and character from someone from our community, especially someone from the high end of our community. Perhaps it's your status in the community that leads you to believe what you did is ok? I'm not sure. I just know I wouldn't take another affiliates name and change it a bit to call it my own.
I wish I had seen your website a week ago so i could have done this in person since i saw you at cf lic. i dislike negative communication in any way other than in person. I just don't know when i'm going to see you again and i'd rather get it off my chest sooner than later.

I'm hoping this makes it to Dave, but I'm relatively new to crossfit, and after suffering from annorexia a few years ago, I'm determined to get to the Games. Is there anyway I could get some advice/guidance on training? Thank you

Hey I am going to be around that area for college, I was wondering what the rates are for classes?

Dave,
Me and my circle of guys that I train with were wondering if there was a way you could provide us w/ what you do for your daily training. I have been crossfitting for 4 years now, and would love to see how you throw your programming together. hopefully this message finds you well, and that all is well on your end of the earth. i am currently in south america on a deployment. thank you for your time and support.

Hey Dave,
I've been training with Crossfit methods for a few years, and am currently a member at CFLindy. Yet most of my time is spent in NYC going to school, and traveling back home/workouts in the school gym aren't cutting it. I'm hoping to increase my training load in preparation for the 2011 Games qualifying process.
I was stoked when i found out your gym was located in NYC, as I like a trainer who's down to BRO'OUT a little. My biggest concern are hours, cost, and location.

hey dave, you may be one of the foremost experts on how to deadlift correctly. do you have any great resources on refining form, besides the cf journal? i recently sprained my sacroiliac joint a little trying a pr of 305+, and I need to get back on track building up from a lesser load with really exactingly better form.. just was wondering. love the work you're doing with 365 squatting and all.. Best, j

Hey Mr Dave Lipson,
I was wondering if you could fill me with information about the 365 days of squats, currently I am doing the Main site WODs everyday, I know you are super strong. nice picture on the home page, that seems like the Incline in Manitou springs, CO.
have a nice one,
SANTI

Dave,
I just moved to NYC, and have been crossfitting for a few years. Im interested in learning more about your place. Is there a number I can reach you at to discuss further? Thanks

Dave.
I read that you had major elbow surgery and seem to have come back from it with some serious strength. I fractured my elbow in Iraq back in 07 and had surgery to remove bone fragments and spurs but lost some Range of motion. I am now looking at the possiblity of having to go back into surgery later this year. Some of the Navy physicians have told me that this might end my career. Do you have any advice concerning coming back from elbow problems?
Thank you
Jason Erickson.

Hi Dave-
I stumbled upon your site because your name was listed on main site for a WOD time you posted. ANyway, I have been asked to consider doing training at a baseball training facility. My husband was an MLB player and now coaches with the Dodgers so he will be coaching the baseball stuff. I have been looking for specifics in regards to training young (12-17) baseball players using crossfit. I am a level one trainer and have been using the methods in my private training business as well as working for a box out here in california. Seeing that your previous life was baseball and have evolved to your current level of training knowledge and experience, what could you advise me to read/learn/investigate regarding programming for this specific demographic? Anything you could point me too would be extremely helpful and sincerely appreciated!
Sincerely,
Annie Berryhill

I am looking to join spartan performance training. I was wondering how you did your sessions for beginners if you have private sessions or group.I have done a session a different crossfit on LI and loved it but it was impractical for me since I am in the city. If you can just shoot me an e-mail with some info that would be great. Thanks
