Trainer Tip with Jessica

Today Jessica is breaking down proper wall ball technique.

Key focus points:
- Stay upright in your posture when you catch and throw — avoid hinging too far forward at the hips.
- Keep your chest tall as you move through the squat and drive the ball up to the target.
- Catch softly and use your legs to power the throw.

Need to scale it?
- You don’t have to throw all the way to the target while you’re building consistency.
- You can also shorten the range of motion and skip the full squat at the bottom.

Quality reps > rushed reps. Dial in the movement first, then build intensity. 💪

Cold weather means your body needs a little more time to get ready to train. ❄️🔥

A good warm-up isn’t just about “breaking a sweat.” It improves movement quality, boosts performance, and helps keep you healthy all winter long.

Show up a few minutes early. Move with intention.
Your best lifts start before the barbell ever leaves the rack.

🌟SCSC January Member Spotlight: Amir Marvaski🌟

This month we’re shining the spotlight on Amir, who joined SCSC after turning 50 and deciding it was now or never to prioritize his health.

👉 What inspired Amir to join?
A friend suggested SCSC would be a great fit, and it turned out to be a decision he’s really glad he made.

👉 Advice for anyone just starting out?
“Give it a shot and don’t be intimidated by the CrossFit inspired workouts. It’s a balanced mix of aerobics and strength training, and the coaches help you scale movements to your comfort level. It’s a lot of fun!”

👉 Changes since joining?
Amir has stayed fit and, in some ways, feels he’s in better shape now than in his 40s. Beyond the physical gains, he loves the sense of instant, concrete accomplishment that comes from working out.

👉 Favorite lift?
The deadlift—simple, powerful, and satisfying.

👏 Way to go, Amir! We’re proud to have you as part of the SCSC community.
