Everyday We Challenge Ourselves, Are You Up To The Challenge?

After 5 weeks at the gym I had to get Jeans one size smaller last night. Gotta like that!

Is it strange that I am ALWAYS thinking about crossfit? And no, it is not because my muscles are screaming at me not allowing me not to think about it I love it so very much!! Thanks for bringing this into my life. It was more needed than I could possibly say.  

I have been doing crossfit since August and I have noticed a big change in myself. I am not only losing weight and getting stronger, but I am also gaining a ton of confidence and self-esteem. This is something that does not come easy for me. I have noticed it in and outside of the gym. Such a wonderful feeling. Thanks again to everyone at GCF for all of your support, especially my wonderful coaches!  

I lost about 10 pounds initially when I began with CrossFit/Paleo last summer. I plateaued and have been at the same weight for about 6 months. I gave up and stopped getting on the scale to measure my success. Imagine my surprise when I went to buy new pants yesterday and had to go down a size from what I was wearing in the fall! So now, I’m down two full pants sizes from when I began CrossFit. Just wanted to encourage everyone that progress doesn’t always come in the form we expect. I am fitter, stronger, healthier (haven’t been sick all winter!) and happier than I’ve ever been in my adult life. Keep up the good work, everyone and thanks to the whole FWSC team!”  

Tried on my “old” jeans …. 6 weeks ago, size 12 … tonight, my size 6′s fit!! WooHoo!!  

Justin, you know I love all you guys at the gym! But I will always take an opportunity to give you a few burpees! They make you strong and healthy! I ♥ FWSC! I feel good, strong and fabulous! Can’t wait for my next birthday and see where I am at! Who knew, last year at this time, I would be doing all that I am doing today! I’m glad I took a chance and tried it! I was completely intimidated and terrified by the idea CrossFit. I couldn’t do that! And though I’m not a super rockstar…YET…I can honestly say I love it! Thanks!”  

"Thank you for starting me down a path of healthier living. By introducing me to the Paleo diet, I was able to reduce my total cholesterol and LDL, both by 22 points, and lose 12 lbs during the 6 weeks. Also, I am much fitter from doing all of those squats and sit-ups at your gym. I loved all of your trainers – they were all so nice, I especially liked Chris! Thanks again! ”  

Since starting CrossFit, I am down a total of 20 lbs and 13 total inches….Not to mention how much STRONGER I am today! I love this stuff and everyone at GCF!

“I LOVE Crossfit and the staff at FWSC! I haven’t been this excited about something in a very long time! I am so excited to be a part of this and I feel amazing after the workouts! Thank you!”

We’re already planning to sign up for the next challenge!”
