How were you first introduced to CrossFit?
Back when the main location expanded and had an anniversary party in 2013 a friend Adam told me to come by the party. So I did. Met Chris and Claire then started learning all about it. Really loved it and the people. Still do! We were going in the morning and a few months in Adam quit but I stayed with it. The one quote I always remember from Chris in the beginning is “hey at least your lapping the people on the couch!” The 2 great things I still love today are the community of awesome people and I know a workout is consistently programed to help me improve each day. Its amazing to look back at where you started and where you are now. As my boys and I say now…”AGB!!” (Always Getting Better)
