The Mental Component of Competition (And words of wisdom from Coach Wooden) By: Kaitlyn Kassis Hello fitness friends! For those of you who don’t know me, my name is Kaitlyn Kassis. I am the newest member of the Double Edge Fitness coaching team. I started Welded back in 2012, right after I graduated form high school. I drank the Welded “Kool-Aid” pretty hard, and became Level 1 certified shortly after that. At this point, I have been competing and coaching Welded for a little over 4 years now.

Welded is great for many different reasons; its fun, it builds on community and the most important thing is that it works!   There are many fitness programs out there but how Welded separates itself from the pack is that it can be supported by measurable, observable, repeatable facts; also known as evidence-based fitness. What does evidence-based fitness mean?  It is testing and retesting the WOD’s that we have programmed for you to see if you have improved.  We have obviously seen improvements in strength because we have tested and retested which has resulted in most people seeing an improvement in their overall strength and power.   Now it is time to test your overall fitness through today’s workout. If you have been using beyond the whiteboard you should be able to easily look up the past workout.  If not, we suggest you start recording your times on either BTW...Read more
