THE DIFFERENCE
It is by design that there are no mirrors, TV’s, juice bars, coffee machines or magazines. This is not a social club or a meet and greet. This is the original Gorilla Fitness. Our staff is not ordinary. We pride ourselves on decimating fitness barriers created by the typical gym atmosphere. We would never ask you to do anything that we haven’t already done. We live by the phrase, “Don’t do as I say, Do as I do”. Welcome to the end of mainstream fitness and the beginning of a new lifestyle.
Sacrifice is what we demand. Our demands are what will change your mind, body, and spirit. The human body can withstand 10 times more that what the mind thinks it can. The indomitable spirit of will and sacrifice will slowly bring the mind and body together.
This is not an infomercial. This is a way of life. We will take you to the edge, but keep you from falling. We will exploit your weaknesses and make them your strengths. We will take your failures and make them a success. This is the formula that we have. Can you make the sacrifice?
We don᾿t care what you were, what you did, or who you are. This is a design for change. A complete selfless change in humility, respect, and self-discipline. It just so happens that along the path the physical results are astonishing. The mental focus is second to none. We would like to welcome you to the awakening of a new and profound level of fitness.
The difference is energy and the demands that we place on your energy systems. As most of us know, our energy comes from food, but most of us do not know how it is stored and used by the body to create movement. It is stored in blood, liver, muscle, and fat. What makes a person be among the elite is their ability to convert the energy that have stored in our bodies to usable energy known as ATP and use it for movement
Food is stored as glucose and fat. These are converted to ATP through what are called metabolic pathways. When we exercise at different intensities our bodies make the needed adjustments in order to convert the energy faster and more efficiently than before through increasing enzyme activity, muscle mitochondria, muscle fiber types, and capillary densities. The difference in what we do and what everyone else does it they just want to burn calories and increase muscle size, we want to make everything about you more efficient and better.
There are 3 general pathways (there are more but this makes it simple) that the body uses for energy conversion. The first is the ATP-PC system which is what you use when you jump as high as you can. It᾿s the stored energy that we already have in our muscles. The next is the anaerobic glycolysis system, which is what we use when we have to sprint longer the 12 seconds, but less than 2 minutes. The final is the aerobic system which uses oxygen to breakdown fat to ATP. There is a whole lot that goes into all this and way too much to place here. In short, the difference is, well everything.
