Competitive runner, 5280 Fitness & Sport Tae Bo
Becki Lynn, in her words ~ I have been in the fitness industry for the last 10 years and for many of those years running was simply a hobby. Recently, I began entering races and making it much more than a hobby. I am passionate about being healthy and pushing through mental and physical road blocks. In 1997, I was in a horse back riding accident and broke my ankle when a horse fell on me. It put me out of running and left me to face the difficult question of, "Am I ever going to run again?". Determined to not let this road block get the best of me, I searched for ways to rehabilitate my leg. This is how I was first introduced to the world of Tae Bo(r) fitness classes.

CrossFit 5280, owner and trainer
From the words of Craig himself: I consider myself a physical fitness enthusiast. I have dabbled with most of the programs that are found in all the big publications trying to reach a level of ''Ultimate Fitness''. Never really being happy with the results that I was getting, a young man by the name of Rich Clench introduced me to CrossFit in September of 2006. Soon after meeting Rich I made a commitment to CrossFit. The result was a new commitment to working out and enjoying my time at the gym more than I ever have. The physical results were amazing also. I began to lose weight, feel stronger and look better than I have in years. I attended a CrossFit certification in November and my ''love affair'' continued. I wanted to be a part of an organization that valued people and the... Read the profile >>
