Growing up, I was never involved in sports (competitive or otherwise) or considered naturally athletic. I was self doubting and retreated from trying new things for fear of failure. The hardest to come to terms with was, like most people, how much I actually struggled with self and body image issues.
Jason and I moved to Vancouver in 2012 and hit an all-time health and fitness low. Jason talked me into trying out CrossFit. Within the first few months of joining CrossFit, I was already developing athleticism and confidence in myself that I never, ever, thought I was capable of.
CrossFit really did change my perspective of what I am capable of. This was my first step towards learning how to incorporate exercise into my daily life. Prioritizing healthy life habits including exercise and nutrition is a challenge for me that helps me to become a better athlete. a better coach, a better person. It’s fostered such positive growth in me that I never expected and this is exactly why I believe that fitness isn’t something we do with an end date in mind. This is a lifelong journey. The mental, emotional and physical development that you will experience each time you step into the gym is nothing short of amazing. I love being a part of that journey.
Just remember that everyone’s needs differ only by degree and not by kind. We all need to sit down and eventually get back up (squat), we all need to pick things up from the ground and put it back down (deadlifts) or lift things overhead or push things forward at some point in time (presses). We all need to be able to do these things for the long haul and that's exactly what we want to help you achieve.
