The logo is an illustration of the Golden Section superimposed over the human figure drawn in the compass rose.
On any given line there is only one point which will bisect it into two unequal parts which are in this proportion; A : B = B : A+B, in which the small part is to the large part as the large part is to the whole…. the Golden Section.
The Golden Section’s proportions are often observed in patterns of organic growth, particularly between neighboring old and new increments. The number’s representing old and new stages of growth are members of the summation series in which each number is the sum of the previous two numbers: 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144…….etc. Any number in the series divided by the following one approximates 0.618. Any number in the series divided by the previous one approximates 1.618. These numbers occur repeatedly in nature, art, architecture, and music.
The Latin:
agonia - palaestra - vita
In English
the agony of contest - training - life

Historical Perspective of Primal Fitness:
Here is a testimony about primal fitness in the Mojave Desert; Father Francisco Garces, a Franciscan monk out of the Mission of San Xavier del Bac, remarked in his journal, March 6, 1776 somewhere near the Providence Mountains, about 80 miles south Las Vegas, NV. "Here I met four Indians that were coming from Santa Clara (on the California coast); after trading in shells. I was lost in wonder to see that they brought no provisions whatever on a route where there is naught to eat; nor did they carry bows for hunting. They replied to my amazement, The Jamajabs (or Mojave Indians) "train to endure hunger and thirst for up to five days", to give me to understand that indeed they are valiant men."
Now that - is an example of primal fitness!
