I am a couple pounds shy of losing THIRTY pounds since the picture on the right was taken one year ago! I have been doing CrossFit for 5 months now (CS&F changed my life forever!)
I honestly hated sharing photos of myself on here because I cried almost every time I tried to fit into my clothes. I had never experienced anything like it in my life.
Fast forward to today, I'm a completely different person!
I feel strong again.. I can keep up with my kids, I have less inflammation, I've met some of the best friends through my CrossFit fam who encourage me and push me every day! I'm just so thankful God has gifted me this body & the ability to better care for it, especially now in my 30's!
Really grateful for my husband, family and friends who have loved me at my absolute lowest & carried me along the past year 😭
Here's your encouragement to go try something you'd never think you could do!!

“Four years ago I walked into this gym at a point in my life where I was so unhappy with the way I felt and looked. I had been working out at home and running, but not focusing much on my nutrition or challenging myself. I am so happy I made the decision to walk into CS&F.
The coaches have taught me to really look within myself, challenge myself beyond what I thought I was capable of, and most importantly, take my nutrition seriously. I am 42 years old and have never felt better! Thank you CS&F for having the BEST coaches, programming, nutritional experts, and supportive community, to get me on the right path and be healthy not only for myself, but for my family.
I continue to challenge myself every time i step into this gym, and for that I am forever grateful! It’s amazing to me how much I have changed in 4 years!”

CS&F has been home for almost 7 years. When I came in, I honestly didn’t know what to expect. Like most people, I started with the goal of losing some weight. I had always played sports (mostly soccer) but by the time I came into CrossFit, I had terrible knees (from injuries), was severely overweight and had a very meager understanding of what it meant to be “fit”.
Over time, I did lose weight, got a bit more toned and definitely built more endurance. I went from having poor knees to being able to do box jumps, lunges, squat 325, run a half marathon and achieve a whole list of small, personal victories. During this entire time, my goals shifted constantly between weight loss, lowering body fat% and to hitting specific weight and gymnastic PR’s. All this in the shadow of constant struggle with nutrition.
Today, I’m happy to report that fitness has an entirely different connotation for me. It means staying injury-free while performing all my workouts and still getting the stimulus from the programming. It means being able to maintain a balanced, 2000 calorie diet without the associated anxiety and seeing consistent gains.
While the coaches at CS&F helped me plan and achieve both long-term and short-term goals, the truly awesome community here helped me stay the course. This combination and the ensuing friendships helped me gain more than I’d hoped for.

“The photo on the left popped up on my memories from 2 years ago. The two pictures after are from this morning after a 5am workout. No posing, no sucking it in, just snapping two quick pics to show myself that hard work pays off.
I’m not doing this because I think I have to look a certain way. I wake up at 4:20am 4-5 times a week because I love the way working out makes me feel. I love the way that healthy eating makes me feel. I love the extra boost of confidence and energy that I have after lifting heavy barbells. Thank you CS&F and Brent for helping me be the healthiest version of me I can be.”

“ I was probably in the peak of stress in my life in the first picture. I was so focused on taking care of everyone else that I didn’t take care of myself. I was eating out every meal. So I got back to eating right like I knew how to from my college playing days and marathon training. I spent about 8 months getting my weight down via diet to 186. Then I started CrossFit at the end of October and checked in this month at 169. This process is working!”

Members at this gym truly want the best for all members. Classes are as challenging as you make them for all skill levels.
