For 3 years I was a subscriber to "chronic cardio" as my form of exercise. I signed up for race after race to stay motivated and completed my first full marathon a year ago. During that period I dodged knee problems here and there, and after the marathon the injuries seemed to stick around longer than ever. That's when I knew I had to change things up, and a friend recommended Crossfit West Valley. The workouts are always challenging, but are scaled to accommodate varying skill levels. The staff is very helpful and thorough with instruction and advice when it comes to diet and other recommendations when it comes to getting the best results. Within the first month I was in better shape than when I was at the height of my distance running, and 6 months later I am still improving. I'd recommend this gym to anyone looking for a unique and challenging way to get in shape.
