Quite honestly, the first time I really enjoy going to the gym. For as long as I have been a gym-goer I always maintained memberships but never truly enjoyed going. This led to a lot of wasted money on a membership I didn't use. I learned about CrossFit years ago because one of my insanely fit friends started doing it. I was always too intimidated to try it because, well, I am not insanely fit. Ha! I stumbled across a Facebook ad one day for the 6 week challenge with SODU and I thought, what the heck! I need to do this for myself and get back in shape. I remember walking towards the gym for the consultation and seeing all these people lifting weights and part of me wanted to turn around and get right back in my car and drive to chic-fil-a. I felt incredibly out of place....and FAT. But I sucked it in and sucked it up an walked inside. I met with Erica. She was super friendly and made me feel very comfortable. Needless to say, I joined the challenge and eventually a full time member. I thoroughly enjoy the workout programs. I love the change up every day so I am always sore (makes me feel accomplished). Its also super motivating when being surrounded by so many hard working, dedicated, people. All levels of skill and fitness are there working together. SODU is judgement free zone and I love that. I have since become friends with many members. It is a very close knit community which I think is awesome because I moved here from CO and don't know many people outside of work. Having friends there also helps keep me accountable and motivated, and lord knows I need that. Above all else, nothing beats the feeling when I leave class like, "yes, I'm still alive and I feel great!" Sometimes you feel like you might die....but trust me, you wont. If you are questioning CrossFit, I encourage you to come in and try a class. Everyone will welcome you with open arms (including me) and soon enough you will be a proud meathead.
