Monday is here baby!

Welcome back to Crossfit athletes! I am very excited to continue working on getting you to where you want to be. Some of you have come a long way over the summer and I expect the hard work to continue on throughout this fall semester.

For those of you who are trying this out for the first time, get to know your new classmates. It wont be long before you're pushing them and vice versa. The kind of bond that Crossfit builds between people is unexplainable. But in the end it is awesome! If you have any questions or concerns about anything please ask. I can't wait to see more personal testimonials.

Crossfit = Stronger body, Stronger mind, Stronger health and longevity.

Ladies,

I am so proud of each and every one of you for choosing to get healthier and sticking with it. Think back of when you ladies first started at the beginning of the summer. Nobody really knew what was to become of this journey. It's funny when you think of the mental aspect of Crossfit and what it has taught us. I remember the 1st day of class you guys were only concerned about finishing the workout. That quickly turned into worrying about not being too sore the next day because everyone still had to go to work. You ladies would try to talk to the 6 a.m. class to try and get a hint as to what the workout would be. The thing that makes me most proud is that you never let anything intimidate you enough to quit. Before I knew it, you ladies were hungry for more every class and the elements that we worked on became basic movements that you ladies were perfecting. I am so proud of you all! Please keep the hunger to become healthier. You now know what it takes to do real fitness!

You don’t have to get it perfect - you just have to get it going. Babies don’t walk the first time they try, but eventually they do. -Mark Victor Hansen

Fight Gone Bad (The 1st one)

I am so proud you guys showing up even after hearing about this from the 6 a.m. class. Whenever you hear rumors of how nasty a workout is or how hard and sore their muscles are, I think today you would just grin and say to yourself, "I can't wait for mine". Keep it up ladies! Your lives are changing right in front of your very own eyes.
