- What has CrossFit done for you? It has changed the way I look at fitness and wellness for myself and my family.  I didn’t know that something that looks so hard can be adapted to literally any persons goals.  I was searching for something to replace my desire to compete in sports because I always felt broken playing hoops 4-5 days a week.  The result was I became a healthier, stronger athlete in my late 30s than I was in my 20s in college.  I can jump just as high, run just as fast and now continue to PR on strength work into my early 40s so let’s just say IT WORKS!

- What is your favorite thing about CrossFit?  The easy answer for me is the community because I don’t think you will find any fitness or wellness group in the world that are passionate about and celebrate others successes equally to their own.  “CrossFit never gets easy, you just get better” so having the push and support of our Box family will push us all past what we thought was possible.

- What is your favorite thing about CrossFit?  My favorite aspects of CrossFit are the global community and the way in which the workouts can be adapted for athletes of all ages and abilities. I have taken classes, clinics and workshops at boxes around the world, and what I love is how the movements, technique, supportive people, and fist bumps are the same in every country, in every language.
