“I knew from my first CrossFit workout that I had found something special. The CrossFit program was so physically challenging that trying to compare it to my sport, gymnastics, was even a challenge. CrossFit has taken me to a level of fitness that I never thought existed. Aside from the great physical rewards, there is a mental strength component to this program that is found no where else. Being able to push yourself to the brink of failure and exhaustion during a workout builds strength that is applicable to life. I believe that I am not only physically stronger, but mentally and emotionally stronger because of CrossFit. At CFNE there is such a unique community and sense of camaraderie where people are so friendly but push each other to the outer limits of comfort. It is a special environment and I am fortunate to have found it.”
