In a short paragraph tell us how you got into CrossFit and what you love about it. CrossFit changed my life. After my back injury I remained active, mountain biking, hiking, snowboarding, etc., and full of pain. I had developed so many compensations and weaknesses from my back being bad for so long, that I could function, but certainly not in a healthy fashion. I tried several different fitness styles and regimes over the years to strengthen my body and get me back on track, but to no avail. Fed up with lack of results and boring programs, I began digging in to the internet in search of something new. Enter CrossFit. Fun, exciting, challenging, different, and so effctive! My back pain and compensations are a thing of the past. I am stronger, more balanced, and more physically capable than I have ever been...and nearing my 40's! I am looking forward to the next couple decades with CrossFit!
What do you love about CrossFit X? I love the people - fun, hard working, focused, always willing to help others and challenge them in positive directions!

Coaching is my passion! Viva CFX!!

In a short paragraph tell us how you got into CrossFit and what you love about it. Beginning of my sophomore year of college I began to really get into lifting and fitness. I started on Mark Rippetoes Starting Strength and after a while started poking around the internet for info and ran across crossfit.com. I figured i was in good shape so I would give it a try. Enter “Linda” 60 minutes later I was laying on the ground in a pool of sweat(it may have been tears) and I have been hooked ever since
