After years of neglect, I'd committed to focusing on my health and fitness. I was doing a combination of yoga, HIIT, and kettlebell classes throughout the week for six months. I made good progress but didn't feel like the pace was where it should be. At the same time, I kept getting hit with Crossfit Outbreak's online ads looking for people to participate in their "8 Week Transformation Challenge." (Big ups to their team for some stellar digital marketing strategy.) I signed up, met my coach (Rich), and got hooked. Rich helped me get used to the initial learning curve that comes with reading the day's workout, getting acquainted with the facility and understanding the movements. Throughout the 8 weeks, I know that Rich not only observed me closely in class, but also checked in with the other coaches about my progress. This is really just one example of how Crossfit Outbreak approaches training holistically. Despite the membership cost (which is on par with other area boxes), I decided to join Crossfit Outbreak as a member. I've now been with Crossfit Outbreak for 3 months and haven't regretted a single workout. That's not **exactly** true; I sometimes stare at a barbell I'm about to throw overhead and often ask myself, "am I really doing this?" I do it. And I walk away incredibly proud that I did.
Last month, I texted Rich super excited after my first shopping trip in 8 months. I'm down two sizes in shirts and one size down in pants. I've got a long way to go but I've never looked better in my life. More than that, I've never felt more confident in my ability to tackle a physical challenge. Please don't join Crossfit Outbreak if you just want to look good or get cut. Crossfit Outbreak is for people looking to join a community working toward their health.
