25 Jun DRAX Meeting with CrossFit Leader! Interview with Master Coach
Health care is critical for modern people. However, it is not easy to exercise every day in the gym. That’s why CrossFit, which you can do at home with a bare body and get high-intensity workout effects in a short time, is steadily gaining popularity and developed. At the foundation of this CrossFit popularization is the significant efforts made by the 1st generation master coach of CrossFit, ‘Go Seong Hyun’. Master coach Go Seong Hyun has been a CrossFit athlete before CrossFit became introduced to Korea, and since 2013, he has been working on numerous CrossFit projects such as Fit Fest, Be More Human Projects, Reebok Community Events, and Men’s Health Long-Term Projects, all of which allowed many to fall in love with CrossFit.
Today, especially, we will introduce you to DRAX CrossFit equipment, chosen by Master Coach Go Seong Hyun, who has used numerous CrossFit equipment such as barbells, sleds, and stations for over 12 years!
Asking South Korea’s representative CrossFit coach ‘Go Seong Hyun’ master coach.
Q. Please introduce yourself.
“Hello. I am a CrossFit coach and I am managing the K-BOX RISE competition, the largest CrossFit festival in Korea. My name is Go Seong Hyun, currently working as a DRAX Ambassador. I am very glad to meet you.”
Q. What do you care the most about coaching to increase the CrossFit workout effects?
“Fun of working-out! I always focus on having fun and coach by focusing on how to move efficiently.”
Q. Why did you choose DRAX’s NON-MOTORIZED TREADMILL DRAXFIT + among many exercise equipment? And what is the strength that makes DRAXFIT + different from other equipment?
“DRAXFIT + is human body-centered. It’s an excellent device for improving exercise skills, power, and endurance because it allows you to run, stop autonomously by controlling the center of your body. That is why we have chosen the equipment and use it a lot.”
* Wait for a second! One comment by the DRAX Research Center Director ‘Why the NON-MOTORIZED TREADMILL for CrossFit?’
“DRAX NON-MOTORIZED TREADMILL DRAXFIT + brings excellent effects to CrossFit interval workouts. While doing CrossFit, you go out for a run in the middle of the workout due to the space constraints. Climbing up and down stairs or having a short break will reduce the effects of the interval workout. But the DRAX NON-MOTORIZED TREADMILL has the advantage of being able to run indoors just like actual running without any intervals. That is, it is a device that can truly maintain the advantage of the CrossFit exercise being done in various ways indoors.”
Q. Do you have any TIP for working out with DRAXFIT+?
“First, on DRAXFIT +, it is important to maintain your body well centered and its balance. First, start practicing after holding hands and finding your center. I recommend you then to connect to the action of running step-by-step.”
Q. Have you ever used an exercise device other than DRAXFIT+ made by DRAX? If so, what did you like about it?
“I’ve used a lot of DRAX devices. DRAX never thinks easy when creating a product. DRAX always produces its equipment by paying attention to detail from inside to outside as well as functioning as exercise equipment.”
Q. If you have an encouraging message to those who are starting with CrossFit?
“You may think that CrossFit is a difficult and hard exercise. I recommend that you give it a try. If you continue to exercise for a certain period of time, you will definitely feel the effect very much.”
DRAX CrossFit Equipment recommended by Master Coach Go Seong Hyun
DRAX teamed up with Master Coach Go Seong Hyun to develop the DRAX Sled and DRAX Rig Station, the equipment designed to maximize the effect of CrossFit workouts. ‘DRAX Sled’ is a device for lifting or pushing heavy barbells put on the center of the device and allows you to apply the best exercise methods to improve lower body quickness and strength.
Also, DRAX Rig Station, manufactured with proprietary know-how and technologies of DRAX, was developed for versatile uses including weight-based exercises such as squats, bench presses, pull-ups, military presses, chin-ups, dips, as well as various exercises using rings and bands!
Most of all, DRAX CrossFit devices are made with a one-stop production method, which is the unique strength of DRAX. Rather than manufacturing products by simply joining parts by hand, we first conduct advanced designing, then raw materials such as plates and pipes are cut and processed by highly automated equipment to create products with high structural perfection. Thanks to this one-stop product manufacturing method, our products can absorb higher strength impact than simple-joining based products, making DRAX products more durable for a longer period of time.
In addition, the finish of our products is also carefully crafted, preventing injuries from sharp edges of the instrument due to the nature of the CrossFit exercise. This demonstrates DRAX’s effort of not missing any details.
CrossFit exercise is said to have the charm amounting to addiction that cannot be stopped once you start. However, because it is a high-intensity exercise, you must be careful not to be injured. Let’s fall in love with the charm of CrossFit by using the safe methods taught by master coaches with DRAX exercise equipment that increase the exercise effects.
