I am addicted. But it didn't start that way. I was a total beginner 2 years ago - could barely do a push-up, couldn't touch my toes, and pull-ups were out of the question. But I went to the free community Saturday classes with my friend for a few months and started seeing results. They scale everything to your ability level. Yes, I was still sore every time. But it got better. And I was getting stronger each time I went, able to lift a few more lbs or move faster. I started seeing definition in my muscles first, then a few lbs drop. Now, I am able to touch my toes after an entire lin life of not being flexible enough. I finally got my first pull-up at the end of 2016, and just this past week did 45 of them in a workout. It is empowering. It is amazing to be nearing 40 years old and a mother, and be the strongest I have ever been in my life. But one of the best perks from all of this, is the community I have become a part of. Amazing athletes and friends. Truly genuine people that I love to exercise with and cheer on. I have made many friends, which I didn't know was possible at a "gym." But it is more than a gym, it is my fitness family. Give them a try! 9am this Saturday, or next... tell them Jess sent ya ;)
