How did you learn about CrossFit Warehouse?
My uncle took me a CF gym for us to try together and I loved it immediately. After moving, I tried another gym closer to home for about 1 year but just didn’t feel like it was the place for me. I knew a couple coaches at CFW and after some encouraging words I finally made the leap.
How has CrossFit Warehouse changed your life, lifestyle, and level of fitness?
Literally has changed everything. My attitude is better. My outlook on life has improved. I am in the best shape of my life. My kids are more active. I’m more confident. Working out is now a part of my daily routine.
List short/long term goals you would like to accomplish through CrossFit Warehouse:
Short: half marathon in May. Long: full marathon in October 🙂
What do you like most about CrossFit Warehouse?
The coaches and the community. Everyone wants to see everyone win and that’s my favorite part. The biggest reason for me looking for a new gym was because I wanted to work out in a better environment. CFW definitely delivered.
