After having two children I developed an "on again-off again relationship with exercise. I was an athlete in high school and LOVED physical fitness, but for some reason I couldn't get my groove back after I became a mom. I tried all kinds of different workout routines (P90X, Spin Classes, Yoga, Zumba, and traditional gyms), but no matter what I tried I couldn't find my passion...that is until I was introduced to CrossFit. When I walked into my first box (CrossFit slang for gym) I was intimidated and wasn't sure it was for me, but I decided to give it try and I'm SO glad I did. I discovered what had been missing all of those years...a supportive community, a competitive environment and accountability to myself and others. CrossFit provided all of this. And that my friends is how Stella got her groove back ;-)
Since joining CrossFit a little over a year ago I have been able to workout at a number of boxes. What I can tell you is that each box is completely different. The owners and coaches are what separate the good from the great. At CrossFit Obsession Coach Dan (the owner) is truly obsessed. You can tell his passion is to help others achieve their personal fitness goals. His motto is: "Form first, then consistency, then intensity." Form is so important in CrossFit to ensure you don't injure yourself so I appreciate his concern for his members' safety above all else.
The CrossFit Obsession members are all so welcoming and supportive of one another. It's amazing to be a part of this community! They're a team of people that support one another inside and outside of the box.
