| - I can't say enough good things about this place. I am a 48 year old guy who never did crossfit but was intrigued. I joined Blur about 8 weeks ago. I quickly learned the difference between thinking that I was in shape and understanding what being in crossfit shape really is. I am not there yet, but I have quickly noticed results. I moved 2 notches on my belt line and have gotten stronger and faster. Every class is different which keeps your body guessing and keeps things interesting.
Blur runs classes every hour on the hour, so I never worry about being late out of work because I know I can jump in the next available class. You don't need to register for a class in advance - just show up and work! I am on the older side for this place, but that said, there are members in there of my vintage and I felt welcome by everyone. Jake and Justin, the guys who run the place, are knowledgeable and helpful. They are also bring the perfect mix of Midwestern niceness and crass juvenile humor to every workout.
UPDATE - 10/10/15
Well, now I have been at it for four months or so, and continue to see positive results. I had to have my dress pants altered because my waistline got smaller. I was going to Blur 5-6 times a week, but my body can't handle that as well as I would like, so now I am down to 4 times a week and I swim twice a week. I initially lost about 5 lbs since joining Blur, but I put the weight back on in muscle. I recently had my body fat percentage measured, and I am down to 17%. I am getting stronger and faster. I can do kip pull ups, and I can do a few double unders, but I still need to improve on the toes to bar. My speed has improved on runs as well, but I do need to make peace with the fact that I am not going to turn back the clock 20 years. Friends have noticed a change in my physique, so hopefully I will be at a point soon that I can have my shirt off at the beach and feel good about myself.
