Personally, I definitely thrive off of a competitive, intense, and fast-paced workout environment so being able to choose certain movement standards to provide a challenging stimulus is an important factor.
With that being said, there is always something to work on because of the variety and I find it exciting to chase progress by finding areas to improve on. Everyone’s journey is different and we acquire movements and skills at our own pace. So for me, it’s very rewarding to reflect on where I started when I first stepped foot into the gym – not having a clue about what CrossFit is, to learning about the Olympic lifts and gymnastics movements, to building and improving strength, while continuing to increase my overall fitness level.
A huge shoutout goes out to the coaches at CFR who have given me insight, advice, and guidance on how to move more efficiently and train harder to accomplish my goals. I find the personal training sessions super helpful to focus and improve on specific movements and skills. These sessions ultimately allow me more time to understand and dissect the steps that need to be taken to get me closer to the full movement standards. From there, I’m able to apply what I’ve learned and worked on in the WODs/training.
The CFR community also adds to the positive training atmosphere. Whether you’re attempting a new PR, gearing up for a competition, trying a new movement, practicing a skill, competing for the first time, or choosing a scaling option, there is always encouragement to support you through it! At the end of the day, we all just want to see each other succeed so the camaraderie is something that is truly valuable which I can’t appreciate enough.
From being able to compete in fitness competitions, achieve my dream career in policing, and feeling the best mentally and physically I ever have.
From the ownership, who care deeply about the gym & pour their hearts and souls into it daily, to the community, members and coaches, who are now some of my most treasured friends.
Thank you.
Crossfit Regina is home to me.
The coaches are approachable for needs I have at my age. During Covid, it reconfirmed for me just how important this community is to me and how important caring for my physical and mental health is. Thank you CrossFit Regina for helping me in these important aspects of my daily life. I competed in a competition last fall at the age of 70! My only regret is not joining when my daughter Lexi was a coach. Hope to be in my spot at 9:00am when I am 90! If I can do it, anyone can!
