Today I delve into our staff development process and why it means so much to me that we have the very best coaches at District H. It is not enough to just have passion for coaching. In order to succeed as a coach at District H, there needs to be accelerated development of technical and personal skills. We do that by providing mentorship, continuing education, and a continuous feedback loop. Our members deserve the very best so we are proactive about creating the very best. Enjoy!

Today I dig into our rebranding process and how we are wanting to evolve. Over the last 3 years, Dustin and I have moved heavily away from CrossFit and towards functional fitness for longevity and vitality. Our tagline "Real Training. Better Living," represents not only our approach to meaningful and intentional fitness, but also our philosophy that everything we do inside the gym is meant to enhance your life outside the gym. That means we need to address 4 specific pillars of your lifestyle that will ultimately make your efforts inside District H that much better. This includes intentional movement, holistic nutrition, personal accountability, and a thriving mindset to life. We want the Houston Community to think of District H as the place that can help create a meaningful difference in their life, not just another place to get a hard workout. Enjoy!
