| - You can only work out in front of a TV for so long. I did the whole P90X and Insanity craze -- yes, those infamous DVD workout programs that only last 60 or 90 days. But after the programs ended, I was always asking myself, "what next?", "Do I start over?" and "should I feel ashamed that I've memorized all of Tony Horton's dialogue?" And with that, I became bored and uninspired. That is until I found out about CrossFit and CrossFit Tempest.
First let me explain why I love CrossFit. It's incredibly challenging but rewards all that effort you put into it with fantastic results -- more so than P90X. Speaking of P90X, I always knew what day I'd be dreading, so I'd make an excuse as to why I couldn't do it. With CrossFit, I never know what to expect and because of that, working out is never ever ever ever ever dull. It's actually fun!
Why CrossFit Tempest? When I decided to make the jump, I found a handful of boxes around my area (Glendale). None of them peaked my interest. Plus, I don't want to work out in someone's garage/driveway. Broadening my search brought up two Scottsdale locations. I emailed one and they never replied. My sis and I ended up calling Tempest and they immediately set us up for an appointment. It's been 2 months since we started and I already consider it like home.
All in all, I'm glad the other location treated me with deplorable customer service because Jason and Shane are pro's. They help push me to the edge of the "cliff" and in turn exceeds my expectation of what I can do. The facility's large, the community is welcoming and very friendly. Well worth the money and 60 mile round trip -- I think of it as an investment for my body and long term healthcare.
