| - I had heard about CrossFit for a few months before I started going to Cactus CrossFit in October 2011. I signed up with Kevin Cherrick, the owner, to first do some private lessons and learn the basic moves and get slowly up to speed before joining the group classes.
CrossFit is no joke, and what I really liked about it was that you could do this intense workout but also do it at your own pace. Of course the coaches pushed you to work harder, but they would also help you work through things that may have been a bit more challenging for you.
The one reason I really enjoyed it was the coaches. They really cared about not only CrossFit but each and every one of us...they would help give pointers during the workout and push us to keep going even when we thought we wanted to stop! :-)
Kevin, especially, was the one person who kept me motivated...even when I tried to quit...a few times! He was just persistent in connecting with me but NOT pushy...he would send emails asking how I was and when I was going to come back...they missed me...it was nice to know that he wasn't going to give up on me. I was spending all the $ to workout, and I appreciate that he wanted me to get the most out of it!
It's also a total body workout, so you go in and get to work on all parts of your body...there is something new each day! I always enjoyed the variety...in all of the months I was there, I never remember having the same workout.
I highly recommend that you check it out, even just once...you'll become addicted!
Thanks Kevin...now that I'm moving back to CA, I will try to find another CrossFit that can hold a candle to yours!
