I have had the opportunity to play and experience numerous sports as well as fitness trends and nothing has provided me with the results that CrossFit has. There is no question you will become fit or significantly increase your fitness level doing CrossFit; the aspect that was pleasantly surprising to me was how much of the rest of my life was effected as well. I have come across and defeated mental blocks and that same mentality that I needed to tear those down in the gym, became easily transferable to my everyday life. This facet of CrossFit is invaluable to me, however, the only reason I succeed at it is the community. There’s nothing like the CrossFit community. After you’ve been through the awesome trauma of an intense workout, crushed those doubting voices inside your head, having others there to celebrate with is exceptional.
After being a member for less than 6 months, I knew I wanted to become a coach. It is a privilege to me to be a part of any of our athlete’s experience of accomplishing their goals.
To be fit takes not only desire and determination, but a balance in balance in mind and body. CrossFit, to me, provides ample opportunity to strike that balance. Watching and coaching CrossFit athletes, novice to elite, proves over and over to me the potential the human mind and body has. Seeing that potential realized, being a part of that personally and as a trainer/coach is an amazing experience, one I never tire of.
