I had never lifted a weight in my life when I first showed up at Crossfit Lumos and I was in a lot of pain. I didn't feel like a very strong person and I mostly did cardio. I know now that there is just no way to describe the type of experience you get at this gym until you've experienced it.
I have always found weights and equipment bewildering and never knew what to do with it. Crossfit gives you a specific prescription every day that changes so often that you are constantly challenged and never bored. The coaches at Lumos are there to make sure that you know what to do and that you are doing it properly and that you are challenging yourself every day. Everyone was so helpful that, especially in the beginning, I felt as though I was in a class full of coaches most of the time. The first person to finish anything is always the loudest cheerleader for the one coming in last. Their cheering voices replaced the negative voice in my own head.
When I signed up at Lumos, I was comparing it against gym memberships. Now that I've had both, it's laughable to compare. One leaves you isolated and preyed upon by surprise sneaky fees (hi big gym) and one will change you emotionally and physically from the inside out, guaranteed.
Cold brew coffee on tap. Toiletries available in the bathrooms. Exceptionally clean facility. I love this place.
