| - I've been passionate about strength training since I was a teen (am 37 now). As a long time passionate health nut, personal trainer. and health coach, I never EVER thought I would veer off from going to the typical commercial gym. Boy was I damn wrong.
I am a research junkie, and love knowing the best ways to help the human body whether it be from a physical, mental/emotional, or nutritional focus. My Osteopath, (an avid and ranked man of CrossFit) began introducing CrossFit movement into my programming, and after getting my body healed and strong again we both felt it was quite ok to try something new. I did my research on local CrossFit "boxes" and decided to try out CrossFit FullStrength, as I read specific positive things regarding the owner's passion for programming and training people.
The members I began to meet were amiable and the coaches I started learning from were extremely passionate about teaching specific movements from the ground up. I love exercise programming, as I have do this for my own clients, and this whole new ball game of CrossFit programming made me feel like a kid in a candy shop.
After my first week or so at FullStrength I was on cloud nine! I couldn't believe the challenge of the new types of workouts I was experiencing, alongside the feeling of how much fun it was. I've always worked out solo for twenty years, maybe with a buddy once in a while. It was a whole new feeling to workout with a group, and a friendly and supportive group to say the least. For me it feels so damn good to cheer on other people, other people cheering you on, high living, and simply being supportive in ways that I never experienced in a commercial gym.
Gayle Shalloo is the owner, and she moved into a new location just about one month ago. It's twice the size of the last location, has more goodies, and more smiling members are walking through the door.
I've been a member for about seven months now, and it's been fantastic. Did I mention that her programming is awesome??? ha.. (challenging but just right), the coaches want you to do perform movements correctly, members are supportive (which I feel is essential for a business like this), and I CONSISTENTLY have a shitload of fun. I have build strength, endurance, and power beyond how I have trained myself in the past, and that ain't no bull.
Don't let CrossFit intimidate you. Practically every exercise can be modified and scaled down for each individual. Everyone can start somewhere by building a foundation and processing from there.
You can go to most "boxes" for a first class for free, and I highly suggest checking out FullStrength for one. If you are looking for a challenging, supportive, and family feel, then you need to consider sprinting over to FullStrength's ASAP.
