How and when did you discover CrossFit?
I started Crossfit 10 Months ago because of my friend Micah. At the time I was running and doing body weight moves but needed to start lifting and maybe toss some tires. I was INSANELY nervous to come in for my intro but fell in love after that. Thank for being “punny” coach Molly!
How has CrossFit affected you since you started?
When I first came in I was really lacking muscle. I struggled to even hold my knees up while hanging from the bar and had no upper body strength. CrossFit fully changed how I viewed exercise and my progress with health. As a woman its been so nice to focus on strength instead of calorie burn and has changed my body image. We push through really hard things everyday at the gym and our bodies adapt and grow. I remember Stephan telling me when I first started that it all transfers over to how we go throughout our day and wow has it.
Also 100% the people I have met since day one. I have always felt so welcomed here and am grateful for the friendships I have made.
