December marks one and a half years with Troika. Time flies when you're having fun, and it also flies when you're sweating a lot.
I had been on a bit of a "fitness journey" for the last six years or so, largely from jogging and doing self-taught weightlifting, but really felt myself plateauing, not noticing any changes in my weight, strength, or body movement. Troika has changed all that! I am definitely in the best shape of my life since coming to this "box".
I do not really consider myself a "joiner" of things. I get weirded out by people who so intensely commit to a hobby or interest that it becomes a part of their identity. Crossfit in general can definitely be a bit of a "cult", but I never get that impression from Troika. At Troika, everyone is extremely friendly and welcoming, and ready to accept you at your level. We're all just here to have a good time, move out bodies, and hit our goals.
I've made some friends, which is something that rarely happens when you're adult, and I've also achieved some things I never believed I would be capable of, like hand-stand push-ups!
As long as I live in Orlando, I'm going to be a member of Troika.
