A year ago, I was five pounds heavier, two inches wider and couldn't do a pushup. I had never heard of wallballs, I had never heard of a clean and jerk and I thought rope climbs were easy. A year later, I can do ten pushups unbroken, I can clamber to the top of the rope and appreciate the burn in my arms, I can do a pull-up and I am proud to be a member of one of the biggest revolutions in fitness. CrossFit has helped me become a stronger, healthier and happier person. Without the gym, without the trainers and without my fellow crossfitters my life would be much, much emptier. CrossFit has helped me on the soccer field, in kickboxing and in everyday life, but the strength I gained from doing CrossFit saved me months of grueling physical therapy I would have had to go through due to a back injury. CrossFit has connected me with so many people and has helped me deepen the connection I have with myself. I am aware of my strengths and aware of my weaknesses and I am encouraged to improve both in a safe, comfortable and supportive environment. I wouldn't trade this experience for anything, and I recommend the CrossFit experience to everyone I meet. CrossFit98110 has changed my life in so many ways I encourage everyone to reap its benefits. read more
