I agree with you, Philip, that the physical is only one piece to the puzzle. I assembled my journey to address my unique challenges, and my exploration may only be useful as a whole to others in the physically dire and painful circumstances I suffered. But hopefully, parts of what I've discovered will be useful to many, even if not taken as a whole.

Thanks again!

Philip,

Thanks for your kind words.

In order to sort out my world view on physical culture, please appreciate the physical hurdles that I've had to overcome, and in those I include the mental and emotional. For instance, I had the fortune of never being able to delve into adolescent drug misuse, because my ability to form cogent thoughts and intelligent speech is predicated upon very specific and conscious patterns that I've had to discover, rehearse and refine. Without these, I can neither think straight nor speak clearly. You can even see my ongoing personal development in the history of my products - in the clarity of the organization and presentation over the evolution of my professional life. How people suffered my writing and teaching 20 years ago! For me now, I'm even accused of pedantism, but it's frankly a misunderstanding that I MUST select the perfect word to describe the situation or issue or thing, because of my dyslexia and apraxia.

Although many people participate in my programs for the fitness benefits, for me, their discovery formed an emancipation from the agony of a genetically broken body and the chaos of an otherwise-wired brain.

The physical for me is a path. Not the only path, but a path just as viable and powerful as any other vehicle of self-discovery. If that path is not the one that you elect to pursue, it bears no impact on your potential.

Thanks for an intelligent review. There is feedback that I can definitely use to improve as a coach and athlete.

Love to Eric. I'm flying to the Netherlands right now to teach, and I've extended an invite to Ron a couple days ago.

The only competition is our own resistance to transforming unhealthy habits. All companies ought to be working together from that perspective (of course, in a non-syndicated format lol).

Greg and I have our philosophical differences, but our cross-pollinated staff actually helped us evolve personally and professionally.

The necromantic cross-post by "Ron" is four years old. Snooze, indeed.

Many of my gyms in Europe and North America were first Crossfit Gyms. Many of my CST and TACFIT Staff are Crossfit. I encourage my staff to pursue other approaches.

Fabricating current problems with obsolete rivalry amounts to nothing more than sour grapes.

Ron, whoever you actually are, I'd be happy to reach out to you. Your posts read like you've scanned some historical piece from RMAX, and were put off. But your vitriol smacks of something more "personal." Do I know you? Are you a former customer who I've somehow neglected? I'd be pleased to attempt reconciling your disgruntlement if you'd be up for the opportunity.

Now, I'm violently using text? :)

"We, the people..." No, only you have drawn your strawman attack, and smugly retorted. You represent no mob, only your own vitriol.

An impartial review is certainly a valid concern. Claims of my personality being so seductive as to convert people to my Jim Jones guiles seriously overestimates my abilities.

The problem I have with "Ron's" comments is that he's still playing the part of a victim, and promoting victimization. The belief that the prospective consumer is some vacuous, hypersuggestible zombie incapable of discerning intent and purpose furthers the predator-prey agenda.

We are each capable of making rational, mature decisions without proliferating fear-tactics of hypnotic bogeymen.

I don't hide behind a corporate shield, closed forum or private audience. When I hear of a strongly dissatisfied prospect, I personally go straight to the source to resolve the issue. I believe in what I do, that my products and services help people, and have no illusions that I can do a better job from receiving and acting upon their criticisms.

When anonymous people post claims that I'm some sort of bedazzling magician who can turn your grey matter to paste with my siren-like voice, I find it both a good chortle and a disservice to those who read it and worry that they're victims vulnerable to unknown psychic forces.

I'm a fighter and a coach. Nothing more. Nothing less.

Asking for an impartial, non-obligatory review by someone who was openly critical of my company's marketing is all a ruse to win them over solely based upon my product and service value, and thereby earn the privilege of improving my presentation and content with their critiques... Such brilliantly surreptitious Machiavellianism! LOL. You've got me figured out, "Ron."
