I had always been curious about crossfit but was always too afraid to give it a try. I was getting bored with taking classes at my regular gym, saw an offer for a free 2 weeks fundamentals class at CFSB and thought that I’d give it a try.
The first time I walked in, I thought I’d made a mistake by coming..lol!! It was pretty intimidating.
The Fundamentals Coach Robby Gustin was very knowledgable, patient and encouraging. He gently pushed me. I started to realize that I was much stronger than I had ever imagined. Four months in and I got a 300# 1rm pr. That was a pretty amazing feeling.
Right now I just want to continue to get better, stronger and stay healthy.
My favorite crossfit memory has to be of one of the WOD’s when we had to do like 30 push presses and run the turf 15 times down and back. Well, by the time I was about to start my last round, the next class was about to start. I was completely ready to call it quits, Brandon said, “come on, I’m going to run with you.” Brandon ran with me while people from the 4:15 and 5:30 class cheered me on until I finished. This is when I fell in love with the crossfit community!! I’ve never experienced anything like it.
