Being in an ordinary gym for over a year I got really bored and was up for trying something new, something different. I'm one of those people that has heard a lot about crossfit (online and word of mouth) and thought it was only for idiots who (obviously) love to hurt themselves. Scepticism at its best. Well, little did I know how much surprise I was in for.
CFSL has an introductory course (6 lessons in the course of two weeks), which is great, cause if turns out you don't like crossfit, you can still just stop/quit afterwards (at least you gave it a go, right?). But that probably won't happen. For me it was love at first sight. Or should I say lift. :)
Ruth and LeeAnne (the owners) are both very well trained in physical therapy (masters and doctorates) and they always ask about your injuries and/or any other concerns/trouble you might have (prior to working out). They take great care of showing how to do things the right way so you don't get injured. So does the rest of the staff (Mae, Amanda, Marcus, Jason, Joanie, Jesseca and Miguel). They are all great!
After half a year (or 100 WODs later) I can honestly say I'm not quitting. If anything, I might get myself more than just 3 classes per week. There wasn't a boring moment in these 6 months for me (if anything I'm more and more driven to do things that I currently still can't do). I was in an ordinary gym for more than a year and was never able to lift as much as I'm able to here. My posture got better, I got some muscles and I can even do some cardio now, without dying (not a huge fan of running).
And the cherry on top - the community here is great! I've never encountered such an amazing support. We cheer together, we laugh together, we sweat together,.. and we sometimes even hang out outside of the gym. It's a pleasure to come into such a positive environment and work out with these people.
I can thoroughly recommend CFSL. They're the best!
