CrossFit Blue Ash - Blue Ash Strength & Conditioning

I have been working with Blake Evans now since the beginning of February. I considered myself to be in pretty good shape, but I had some issues with certain movements. When I first started I had serious mobility issues with my knees and shoulders. I also had some back problems. I had never done a squat or a deadline because of these issues. These were issues I got from the military. I thought I could never do a squat, let alone a dead lift. Blake took baby steps with me, and showed me how to move, and move without having pain. If there was an issue we stopped and made adjustments right away. I only worked with him for about 1 ½ hours on Sunday afternoon. He gave me plenty of mobility exercises to do, and to perform certain movements to strengthen certain muscles during the week. I did those exercises daily and overtime I got better. I can now do squats without pain and have the best mobility I have ever had. My original goal was to be able to squat 300lbs overall. As time went on, and I got stronger I decided to make a new goal and squat 300lbs by the end of July. I did a one rep max yesterday of 325. This just goes to show that if you put in the work, you will get it back. I could not have done this without Blake’s guidance, training, and instruction. I would recommend him to people that want to be more mobile, people just starting out, or people that feel that they are in great shape. I can now say that I am on my way to truly being in overall great shape. I continue to push forward for my next goal of 350-375 by the end of the summer. Blake knows his stuff and is willing to share his knowledge to make you better. If you are looking to get in shape, or take it to the next level he can help. Robert Walker
