Fitcorp Asia launches first CrossFit in Thailand
Fitcorp Asia, a private health, fitness and performance education company, has launched the first CrossFit affiliate in Thailand at Aspire, its gym in downtown Bangkok.
Daniel Remon, the CEO and founder of Fitcorp Asia, said: “For us, introducing CrossFit to Bangkok is an expansion of our current methodology. Building a strong dynamic community of like-minded, driven individuals is a cornerstone to our ethos and business success.
“CrossFit is deemed the ‘sport of fitness’ – taking a recreational and recommended activity to the realm of sports, community and competition. That competitive element is focused on the competition of one’s self, as well as with others. This adds accountability, support, structure, adherence and therefore a change of behaviours, lifestyle and results for the long term. CrossFitters aspire to be the best they can be, and that’s what makes the difference,” the Australian fitness guru said.
CrossFit has been steadily growing in popularity across the United States since 2000 and there are more than 4,500 affiliates around the world, he said.
Far from being exclusive to elite athletes, CrossFit trains all members, regardless of skill or fitness level, to become as fit as possible, using tested means of general physical preparedness, Remon said.
“The athletes’ goal will be to physically and mentally prepared for the known and unknown,” he said. Henrik Olofsson, head coach of the CrossFit affiliate, said CrossFit was a game changer in the fitness industry.
“Programmes and workouts are safely scalable to accommodate all levels of fitness. We have developed a safe, progressive and educational introduction program that introduces new clients to the movements and biomechanics of safe lifting technique for optimal results.
“CrossFit is based on a methodology of constantly varied functional movements performed at high intensity, which is key to better results in less time. This controlled intensity is also directly linked to increasing our capacity to live longer with greater independence as we age.”
He said CrossFit BK has eight certified level 1 coaches and more information about the programme can is on www.fitcorpasia.com
