1. Executive Summary: Legacy Athletics (Midway Location)
Westlake CrossFit (WLCF), an existing fitness entity located in Cuernavaca, works
with 200+ clients per month and is growing at a 20% rate annually. Since its
inception in 2008, WLCF has been providing elite training, nutritional guidance
and athletic development services. Its growing client base and repeat customers
have proven it to be a regimen that delivers tangible results.
For the remainder of this summary, the proposition for Westlake CrossFit’s second
location will be called: Legacy Athletics. The original location will be called
Westlake CrossFit (WLCF).
Legacy Athletics will be a comprehensive fitness and wellness center utilizing
functional fitness, sports--specific training, nutrition and sports therapy to aid its
clients in realizing even the most ambitious physical goals.
Why CrossFit?
CrossFit is the fasting growing fitness phenomenon in the world. It now has
approximately 6,100 affiliate gyms, most of which are located in the United States.
CrossFit not only focuses on strength and endurance (like most other fitness
programs), but it also stresses the 10 areas of physical adaptation—accuracy,
agility, power, speed, strength, flexibility, endurance, stamina, coordination and
balance—to deliver General Physical Preparedness. To expand on its legitimacy,
ESPN has partnered with CrossFit and has televised the CrossFit Games for three
years now. The CrossFit Games takes the top competitors in the CrossFit arena
from around the world and puts them through a rigorous set of events lasting
nearly a week. The winning man/woman is appropriately titled ―The Fittest
Man/Woman on Earth‖ and awarded $250,000.
WLCF has seen results in Westlake Athletes as well:
Bailey Hinners – Captain of Westlake’s Varsity Soccer team in 2010, Hinners
signed with George Washington’s Division I soccer team in 2010. He is now the
senior captain of the team and has been unanimously titled ―fittest on the team.‖
2. Bailey trains with WLCF during the summer 4x/week. Bailey has fully embraced
WLCF’s programming and applied CrossFit’s General Physical Preparedness; and
he has not only won WLCF’s multiple endurance tests, but also its strength tests.
Bryce Hager – Now playing for Baylor as starting linebacker, Hager used to train
at Westlake CrossFit. During his time at Baylor, Bryce has lead the defense
through two very impressive seasons, winning the Alamo Bowl and the Texas
Bowl. He is a Heisman Trophy hopeful.
Other athletes that trained with WLCF on a regular basis during high school:
- Tanner Price (starting quarterback for Wake Forest)
- Omar Ontiveros (starting fullback for Texas Tech)
- Ryan Swope (recently drafted to NFL team, Arizona Cardinals as receiver)
Walker and Tucker Hume (soccer stars at Rollins College), and key players with
Austin Aztex, which just won the premier division soccer championship.
Legacy Athletics’s intentions are clear: We want to enhance Westlake’s sterling
athletic reputation and give these young athletes the tools they need to rise to their
potential. In doing so, we will contribute to Westlake High being a top tier 5A
program.
Legacy Athletics will combine multiple domains of fitness and wellness in order to
provide the most comprehensive training strategies available in Austin. It will
serve its clients by utilizing or re-allocating existing features of the Ben Hur
