I have never been a workout person. I've always hated sweating and regular gyms are always SO boring and do absolutely nothing to boost my motivation. I snagged a Groupon for Summerlin CrossFit last year, thinking that it's cheap & if I might as well give it a try... and have been completely hooked ever since!
Everyone here is so nice and it didn't even bother me that I was last for every WOD. Everyone cheers you on after they're done - "Almost there, keep it up!" and the hi-fives afterward help keep you motivated & push you forward. I've always felt pretty socially awkward but everyone here really does treat you like family from the beginning and it's so amazing!
The WODs will leave you unbelievably sore afterward but keep going back... the only way to get past the soreness is to do it again! Completing them makes me feel so powerful and seeing the difference from week to week in my body is definitely a huge encouragement. The results are truly amazing - I didn't drop weight because I gained muscle but I went down two dress sizes in 4 months!
This is truly the best gym I've ever been to and I would (and have!) recommend it to anyone who is looking to start out or those just looking for a new box - you don't be disappointed.
