Reason for choosing MC: MC has the best programming I've found to-date, and the MC community is second to none. The amount of healthy competition and encouragement from the other athletes is a huge motivator to work hard everyday. The quality of the programming is evident in the skill, strength, and overall fitness improvements I've seen many of the athletes, including myself, achieve in the short time MC has been open.
