"Why do you crossfit?"

One of the main reasons I was uninterested in crossfit before I joined was the cost. To me it was crazy to spend more than double what I was paying at 24 hour fitness. And for what? I had lost all of my weight on my own through home workouts and then at 24. I used youtube and the other online sources to educate myself on nutrition, exercises/movements, muscle gain, hiit cardio, you name it I read about it. I pride myself on that. I'm proud of taking the initiative and figuring it out on my own. The "I just don't know where to start" excuse is ridiculous, there is so much helpful information out there for you if you're willing to reach out and grab it. So here I was a crossfit skeptic, what could it do for me that I hadn't already done for myself? I had even educated myself on the paleo diet before ever hearing about it at through crossfit. I lifted heavy weights in the gym, I did cardio, how was it worth the cost?

To be honest you can't fully understand it until you try it. People can tell you all day long how great it is, but you won't understand what they are talking about until you step foot in a box. Until you do that first workout. Until you attend that first event. It's more than just the training, it's the atmosphere, the people, the coaches.
"How do you know someone does crossfit? You'll know because it's all they talk about." To an extent that is true, but when you do it you understand why. You're in awe of what your body is capable of. Like the fact that I can do pull ups, hand stands, back squat more than my body weight, hell yeah I'm gonna be excited and talk about it.

So what has Crossfit Solano done for me that 24 hour fitness didn't? It has pushed me further than I ever would have pushed myself. It has provided me with excellent coaches, with a group of like minded people who want to see me succeed. It has pushed me out of my comfort zone, made me stronger, made me faster, made me push harder and dig deeper. I feel like all around it has made me a better person. I feel lucky to call CFS my home, I feel lucky that there is such a great group of people there, that we have such motivating coaches. I'm glad I gave it all a chance. "

This is one of my coaches and bad ass athlete, Amber. Over head squatting 155  pounds!
One of the reasons to check out CFS, she's strong and no she's not "bulky"
