I first came to the gym in October 2018. I live near CrossFit Central and saw people working out every day. I was curious about it but too intimidated to try it. I discovered that several parents at my children's school were members of CrossFit Central and after talking with them, I learned how much they enjoyed it. They spoke highly of the workouts, the community and the coaches, so when bring-a-friend week came around in October 2018, I decided to give it a try. I went three times that week and was hooked! By the end of the week, I had signed up for a membership.

Most of my adult life, I have done some form of regular exercise. I have done pilates, yoga, bar classes, spin classes, HIIT classes, bootcamps, running, etc.. You name it, I've tried it. And while I enjoyed those forms of exercise, I never felt like my overall fitness changed.

Since joining CrossFit Central, I have seen amazing results. I have gained muscle, lost fat, improved my endurance and fine-tuned my nutrition. I was 40 when I started at CrossFit Central and am in better shape now than I was in my 20's and 30's. Prior to starting CrossFit, I had never touched a barbell and couldn't do a pull-up. I can do things now that I never dreamed I could do - pull-ups, push-ups, gymnastics moves, and olympic weight lifting.

I am more confident and mentally tougher since starting CrossFit. There is something really empowering about lifting heavy weights and completing a difficult WOD!
