I've always wanted to try CrossFit, but was absolutely terrified (been in and out of PT for 20 years for my knees). I heard all the horror stories of drill sergeant coaches and a competitiveness that pushed you to the point of injury. And you had to be in really good shape going into it. Wrong!!!
Curiosity and boredom with regular gyms finally got the best of me. I researched and read all the reviews for the boxes in my area and landed on CrossFit Primal Energy. Best decision ever!!
The coaches are amazing! They genuinely want you to succeed, and it shows in everything that they do. The people that go there are just as awesome. Everyone is super supportive and the only person you are competing with is yourself! And if you need some guidance on nutrition, they've got that covered too!
I signed up for the Nutrition Challenge with Katie and lost 4lbs of body fat in 5 weeks! She gave me a nutrition plan, recipes, and held me accountable for what I ate. And she was supportive when life got crazy!
I'm seven weeks in and I'm able to do lunges, jump rope, and run more than 20ft without pain for the first time in years. The workouts kick your butt, and yes, your muscles will be sore, but that's kind of the point right?!
If you are looking for a community that will help you reach your fitness goals, whatever they may be, this is the place!!
