Scottsdale to San Francisco “Wanna get away”

Luke — Thu, 07 Apr 2011 02:03:54 +0000

I am pleased to announce the “Wanna get away” CrossFit Scottsdale travel pass. For all CrossFit Scottsdale students traveling to San Francisco you can train using your current membership at Lalanne Fitness located in the heart of the city and in their new 5,000 sq/ft facility.

My good friend, colleague and the man responsible for my birth into CrossFit Chris Lalanne owner of Lalanne Fitness and his wife Maribel, have opened up their doors to all of us Zonan’s especially during the summer. The Lalanne’s and their team operate under our same “School of Elite Fitness” principals… Train hard, eat right and study the game. With so many CrossFit’s opening up in malls, church’s and parks with little or no Coaching experience at all it’s reassuring to know Chris is one of the top Coaches in the world and Lalanne Fitness is one of the premiere CrossFit’s on the planet. So if you love to CrossFit, travel and eat there’s is no better way to spend a weekend. Please email your arrival at info@lalannefitness.com. From Phoenix to San Francisco is $189 on Southwest Airlines.

Anything in life is possible if you make it happen.
Anything in life is possible and you can make it happen.
Your waistline is your lifeline.
Exercise is King, nutrition is Queen, put them together and you’ve got a kingdom.
Don’t exceed the feed limit.
The food you eat today is walking and talking tomorrow.
Ten seconds on the lips and a lifetime on the hips.
Better to wear out than rust out
Do – don’t stew.
People don’t die of old age, they die of inactivity.
First we inspire them, then we perspire them.
You eat everyday, you sleep everyday, and your body was made to exercise everyday.
Work at living and you don’t have to die tomorrow.
I can’t die, it would ruin my image.
If man makes it, don’t eat it.
If it tastes good, spit it out.
What’s it doing for me?
Your health account is like your bank account: The more you put in, the more you can take out.
If one apple is good, you wouldn’t eat 100.
It’s not what you do some of the time that counts, it’s what you do all of the time that counts.
Make haste slowly.
Eat right and you can’t go wrong.

When I first met Chris LaLanne nephew of Fitness Guru Jack LaLanne in 2000 we were both personal trainers working for a globo gym in Palm Desert California. Small world Chris had just graduated from San Diego state and was already friends with my wife Najla. Sharing the same core values and having a passion for changing lives we became close friends instantly. We were both inspired by healthy living and were given the title “Future of Fitness”. In October of 2007 Chris called me and said “Bro you gotta check out CrossFit.com”. Three years later we are the fittest on earth and we owe it all to the original CrossFitter “Jack Lalanne” the Godfather of fitness. Creator of the health club, exercise machines, clean eating, personal training, coaching, motivational speaker and All American Super Hero. The Jack LaLanne show was one of the first brodcasts on national television. He wrote books, made videos and loved to entertain.

When I met Jack in the groom of Chris’s wedding he wouldn’t stop singing all weekend. He told me everyday he eats eggs and salmon, fresh fruit and veggies. Then he turned to his wonderful wife Elaine and asked her to pour a glass of white and red wine together.

Jack’s motto of helping people to help themselves feel better, look better, and live longer not only rubbed off on Chris and I but the entire nation. He showed me what a fitness professional should be and that you must “Lead by example” Jack promoted living long through healthy lifestyle habits. He ”Helped people to help themselves”. One of my favorite LaLanneisms ”Exercise is king, nutrition is queen, put them together and you have a kingdom!” I still use today. He was, is and always will be the most inspirational man on the planet and I take pride knowing I am doing my best to do the same.

“Jack LaLanne”
