		<title>Stretching</title>

		<title>Ironman Training</title>

		<title>CrossFit &amp; P90X</title>
		<description><![CDATA[CrossFit continues to gain popularity, especially now that it is on ESPN. I have received several e-mails about what separates Pat’s Gym from CrossFit, P90X and Insanity, so I would like to clear some things up.
