After working 4 years at a Naval Station fitness center I realized one very profound and sad fact. Most people think physical training is really complex! Movements like those found in Olympic Weightlifting are complex. Gymnastic progressions can get very complex. Nutrition can also be very complex especially if you have some kind of Autoimmune or medical condition. However physical training (CrossFit) is so unbelievably simply.
