CrossFit's growth has been phenomenal and with that phenomenal growth it has naturally gained its critics.
Andrew Stemler owner of CrossFit London UK caught our attention because of his colourful history and equally colourful personality. But it was his teaching style that ran counter to the negatives often levelled at CrossFit that really peaked our interest.
His willingness to see things from a beginner's perspective makes him a superb communicator, awesome teacher and great spokesperson for CrossFit.
Here's what he says about being healthy:
"The problem is too many people go to a gym. Too many strong guys go to gyms and lift heavy weights. Too many flexible guys go to gyms and they do stretching. Too many fast guys go to running tracks and they run up and down.
What should happen is the fast guys need to go and do some stretching. The strong guys need to go and do some stretching. The stretchers need to sod off into the weights room and pick up some heavy weights as do the marathon runners. So here's this thing, everyone tries to get the edge by being a specialist when in fact to get healthy you need to be a generalist."
