There are no words for how inspirational this is. Kyle Maynard is my hero. He reminds us that impossible is nothing and that there are no excuses.

I am a fitness trainer..
I am a fitness trainer.
My practice is more than just a job; it is my passion. My clients are my top priority and their successes are my life’s work—I am a professional.
On the surface, my job is to shepherd my athletes (I view all my clients as athletes regardless of their age or ability) toward physical prowess, but I recognize a purpose to my efforts and an impact on my athletes that transcends the physical. I view training as a physical metaphor for habits and attitudes that foster success in all arenas. I stress that point to all who train with me and I know I’ve been successful only after they bring back concrete examples.
The lessons learned through physical training are unavoidable. The character traits required and developed through physical training are universally applicable to all endeavors. Perseverance, industry, sacrifice, self-control, integrity, honesty, and commitment are best and easiest learned in the gym. Even clients who have found spectacular success in business, sport, war, or love find their most important values buttressed, refined, and nourished in rigorous training.
Being a professional, I believe that my competency is solely determined by my efficacy. My methods must be second to none. Accordingly, fitness trends and fashions are distractions, not attractions. To the extent that my methods are often unconventional, unaccepted, or unique, they reflect the margins by which I dominate my industry, and I take those margins to the bank. A trainer who lusts for popular approval is chasing mediocrity or worse.
Committed to unrivaled efficacy, I’ve often had to develop new tools and methods. This cannot be done without study and experimentation; consequently, a lot of my work is done not in the gym but in books and scientific literature and in communication with other trainers and coaches.
My competency is determined by my efficacy, which is ultimately determined by my athletes’ performance.

Can't stop training!
Clip of a WOD at CrossFit Central on any given day...
My name is Randal Setzler and I am a CrossFit addict. I train as often as my body will allow. I put a great deal of focus on nutrition and recovery. I love thinking outside the box at our box and at my bootcamps. My random hoppers include- WODs, parkour, kettlebells, parallettes, horse vaulting, partner acrobatics, ect.. Maybe I took phrases like "routine is the enemy" "specialize in not specializing" "regularly practise and learn new sports" and "do one thing each day that scares you" a little too literally.
Any rhabdo and hand rips aside... I train with the greatest community possible, I am actively linked to a global fitness revolution/phenomenon. I can not call any of my classes or personal training "work" as I truly love and look forward to every session and every person that I work with. I thank you all for you all bring so much joy into my life. We are changing lives and unleashing potential. Everyday is magik. I love being a part of it all. Maybe that is why I can't stop training...
