Job Description
We're a meal delivery company. Nearly all sales have come from referrals. We're now developing our online presence and need help clarifying our benefits, strengths and competitive advantages into a clear USP and website design strategy. We have several ideas so far.

Deliverables for this project include:
+ Birds eye view of how to brand/package our product. Because we offer so much more than our competitors (e.g., personal dietitian, personalized meals catered to specific fitness and weight loss goals, one-on-one coaching) we're sure there's a lot of potential to market ourselves with far greater value than simply a meal delivery service. Results of past brainstorming sessions include; CrossFit 'cult-like' community or ecosystem brand, a "Ready for Zero" strategy that heavily relies on social media, a "Bootcamp" or personal accountability coach that takes on a holistic view of the customers' health and guides them through their journey to a healthier lifestyle.

Folks who never had the that experience are the most likely to fall for @-fit. Whether they know it or not, they are seeking the experience they never had. Consequently, they are a bit fanatic about their "team" and their couch. It's all very very important to them.

From the outside, and as a former jock, it all looks very high school to me.

With the 2012 Open more than halfway through and approximately 80 athletes from Outlier CrossFit participating, how does a coach train and prepare so many athletes for competition? With trainer background ranging from gymnastics to Navy SEALs to psychology, “we don’t create special programs. We are all in the gym working on this together. Separate training programs can create a bit of a hierarchy in the gym and we want to avoid this,” Stevenson says.

At Outlier, no one is greater than the other. It’s simple. Everyone trains together. “Deficiencies are addressed individually, but we do the same programming for everybody in the gym. I’m not going to create a top of the line program for just some people. Everyone should be afforded the best. We're all on the same page. We're all doing the same stuff. We're all connected,” he says.

Perhaps not everyone who is signed up for this year’s Open is aiming for the podium at the Home Depot Center, but the benefit of training alongside elite athletes helps raise expectations and abilities. In this case, Outlier CrossFit adheres to the philosophy of a scalable, one-size approach to training all athletes together.

If only it was this fucking easy...

Strength training is an optional aspect Stevenson and his coaches incorporate into the regimen. “Adam has an optional 16-week strength program, that is a founded in traditional strength programs while still maintaining the many skill driven demands of CrossFit,” McAllister says.

Tiger Woods' former coach Hank Haney claims that Tiger tore his ACL while training with the Navy SEALs in 2007, the New York Times revealed in their review of Haney's new book yesterday.

Woods previously said he injured himself will jogging. But Haney writes otherwise, the Times says:

Haney grew concerned about Woods’s workouts and his focus on weight lifting. Haney thought Woods was “inordinately interested in muscle-building,” which Haney believed did not help Woods’s game and led to injuries. He says that Woods injured his right Achilles’ tendon doing Olympic-style lifts, not while running during testing for new Nike shoes, as he publicly stated.

Golf Digest first revealed Tiger's odd obsession with the SEALs in an excerpt of Haney's book a few weeks ago. At the time, it seemed like a minor, wacky anecdote.

But if Haney is to be believed, the obsession actually did some real damage to Tiger's golf game. Woods has had four surgeries on that knee, and hasn't won a major since 2008.

The sad thing is, a Crossfitter would see that photo, then go do a Polar Bear Plunge and say, "I got that SEAL shit nailed."

And even then, I think that's being generous.

To be fair, less than 1% of anyone would make it...and I don't see how WOD and kipping pullups would prepare @fit members for SEAL training, which is as much psychological torture as it is physical.

If a young man has spent countless hours bobbing in a pool during water polo matches, he’s more likely to survive the butt-kicking training required to become a Navy SEAL.

Same goes if he rock climbs or mountain bikes. And believe it or not, if he plays chess, his odds of passing triple.
