THE LEGION FITNESS PHILOSOPHY: SEMI-PRIVATE TRAINING.
Small classes and a small price for personal attention. Legion is like no other fitness facility in Lexington. The training center is a reflection of the fitness philosophy integrated into the LegionFit Program, developed by Legion's Head Instructor, Steve Mansfield (ISSA Certified Fitness Instructor, Certified Commando Krav Maga Instructor, Extreme Sports enthusiast, rock climber, mountaineer, alpinist, etc.). There are no machines, no barbells, no dumbbells, no mirrors, no juice bars and no shorts with tank tops. Legion believes that a visit to any "normal" gym that is open to the public offers the wrong idea of what achieving fitness is like. In those places, magazines are read while on a machine pretending to "run" or "bike", weights are lifted by isolated muscles, often in a seated position and intensity is distinctly lacking. Legion believes that "modern fitness" is unfortunately defined by appearance rather than actual horsepower, and a training facility contaminated by this attitude cannot produce elite fitness, physical or mental. At Legion, people are trained in a structured, "class" environment. Body-weight exercises are focused on, with Russian Kettlebells as the only outside resistance. The training is semi-private, with classes running from 1 to 6 people. And, the training is very intense. In a class you might see women doing full-out pull-ups on a bar 8' off the ground, or guys swinging 40 lbs. kettlebells.
