I’m a 37 year old mother of a 2 and 4 year old, I’ve been working out @ Cross Fit since July 2010. The workouts are more intense and more focused than I’ve ever had in my years going to a gym on my own, working with a personal trainer, or any video workout I’ve ever tried. I feel strong, confident, and motivated to do better each time I work out @ Cross Fit for myself, my children, and husband. I encourage anyone of any age and ability to try Cross Fit to make a better you, it’s worth it, the schedule, workouts, and trainers are the best- hands down! Thanks Cross Fit for giving me a new lease on life!

I considered myself in pretty good shape with martial arts and cardio training, but I had no idea how out of shape I really was on basic movements! Crossfit helped strengthen my cardio and overall conditioning in ways I couldn’t do on my own. It has helped me improve in my other sports and I can do real chin-ups for the first time in my life. The great people and atmosphere at the Cedar Rapids Crossfit are an added bonus!

I have been doing the Crossfit class workouts for about 6 months. When I had to go to a normal gym when I traveled, I was just bored! I was in there for an hour and couldn’t get the same feeling I get after 20 min in the Crossfit gym. Crossfit pushes me harder than I could ever do on my own, and its a lot cheaper and more fun than a personal trainer. Every day is different and every day is a new personal challenge. I can now say, the other gym sucks!

Having been an athlete for most of my life I’ve experienced just about every kind of workout I thought existed…and then I found CrossFit. The principles applied by CrossFit aim to build functional strength. I used to think I was strong, and now I’ve realized that while I was strong in the conventional sense, I didn’t have strength I could really use. CrossFit changed that. Now, after working out with Jake and Dmitry for months, I’ve been shown my weaknesses, I’ve attacked them, and I’m now in of the best shape of my life. Athlete or not, anyone can benefit from these workouts. CrossFit will help you reach goals you thought were unattainable, and show you that you are capable of things you never thought were possible. Try it, it will be harder than you ever imagined, but you won’t regret it.
