HOW DID YOU FIRST GET EXPOSED TO CROSSFIT? Take us back to your first WOD.... what was it, anyhow did it feel?
I moved to south jersey to work at Bacharach about 7 years ago and heard the word CrossFit thrown around. I literally had no idea what it was knew I needed to lose my college chunk so I googled "crossfits near me" and tried a WOD on NYE with a bunch of crazy things and people and was hooked ever since. There was a sense of community, fun, support, and love since Day 1. I wasn't able to do a pull-up and had never touched a barbell before. I remember trying to do a handstand on a wall and I fell right over. I was unathletic as they come.

For the first time in my life, I would consider myself an athlete. CrossFit has increased my mental and physical endurance to learn, challenge, and perform skills and strength lifts I would have never thought possible. I love pushing myself to see what my body and mind are capable of. This has directly translated to my life in stressful events and struggles by realizing I am so stronger than I may realize. CrossFit has also given me confidence in myself, amazing friendships and life memories, positive role models, a ton of cheerleaders, not to mention.. a realtor, notary, co-worker, veterinarian, chiropractor, and personal car shopper.
