Flower Mound Location Update

2011-06-09T13:09:00.000-07:00

I just wanted to update everyone on the CrossFit Flower Mound location. Late last week, I ran into some unforeseen issues with the landlord and the Town of Flower Mound. These issues have severely delayed the construction (which was suppose to be complete this week) thus delaying the opening of our Flower Mound location.

I deeply apologize for this inconvenience and am completely embarrassed about this situation. I have been scrambling all week to find a temporary plan B, to service my customers in Flower Mound.

As of right now, I am going to move the first two weeks of our summer training to our Highland campus (CrossFit Denton County). All class times will remain the same, we are just moving the location temporarily. During this time, I hope we can resolve our current issues we are facing and have the doors open in Flower Mound ASAP.

The current situation will in no way affect the quality of the training your athlete will receive this summer. We are going to hold firm to our promise of being the best place to send your athlete for sports training in the area.

If you have further questions, please email sports@crossfitdentoncounty.com

Flower Mound Lacrosse Association Spring 2011

2011-02-11T15:06:00.000-08:00

Beginning in December of 2010, CrossFit Denton County (True Advantage Strength and Conditioning) began working with the varsity and junior varsity Flower Mound Lacrosse Association teams.

Head coach Terry Cole shared the following thoughts on the program, "I’ve seen improvement in about 80% of the players especially in the areas of mental strength and increased flexibility, which is key in injury prevention. Every time my son comes home he talks about how much he loves it and it’s pushing him to become a better player and athlete."

CFDC has customized a program geared to improving the athletic development and conditioning of lacrosse players. The program includes specific motor-recruitment patterns, strength movements, speed/agility drills, nutritional concepts, conditioning drills and flexibility sessions.

Each session last approximately 60 minutes and parents are encouraged to watch the first session so they can see first hand what their athletes are participating in.

If you are interested in enrolling your lacrosse player please email info@crossfitdentoncounty.com

Our goal is to increase an athlete's work capacity; make them quicker, stronger, faster, more explosive; while keeping them injury free.

Our program will guide your female athlete, no matter their sport (basketball, soccer, baseball, volleyball), towards better results faster than other programs, without the use of machines or isolation movements typically used in globo-gyms. Instead, we will move large loads long distances in a short amount of time. Our tools of choice are kettlebells, plyo-boxes, pull-ups bars, barbells, dumbbells, gymnastic rings, power bands (really thick rubber bands), medicine balls, sand bags and a variety of other objects. Our athletes clean, snatch, pull, deadlift, press, jerk, flip, swing, jump and squat with these objects.

The following will be covered through out the entire program:

· Quickness (first-step)

· Strength

· Speed (acceleration)

· Nutrition

· Endurance

· Coordination

· Flexibility

Our athletes see a direct transfer from the training room to the playing field. If you have NEVER trained like this, you will never realize the RESULTS you are able to achieve! Your athlete will have a TRUE ADVANTAGE!
