Though I have only been at CFC for 3 weeks which I am sure gives me the revered title of Newest Newbie I have already settled in with a great bunch of guys and ladies, always friendly, always encouraging you no matter if your destroying the WOD or it is destroying you. I joined Crossfit as for the last 6 years I thought big is good, strong is good(strong being benching over 255 with my cardio in bad form) but in the last 3 months I realized big equals carrying some pounds when your 30 and I am not 23 anymore partying till 5am and then running a 10 miler at 6 am and coming top 3(I miss those days) damn you metabolism lol, I am sure we can all agree on that. So I joined CFC, I have some friends who are Ninjas at this on the Euro circuit and so I begin my journey after they said it is life, in a nut shell it gives me a euphoric feeling and makes me feel at ease, For example my head is down I’m dizzy sweat pouring, I look around my time was better getting faster, I finished the WOD form getting better, weight getting heavier. Every day I arrive I meet new people and I have a good time the coaches know their business and give you excellent tips. I pride myself on my in-depth analysis when committing to a project I checked out 3 different box’s in the Chi town area CFC furthest away but first choice. I travel an hour to CFC and a hour back on the L and foot for a reason, CFC is more than a cross fit box, CFC ninjas are more than great people, CFC encompasses what being a CrossFitter is about.

PS For those that don’t understand me I am SCOTTISH not Australian or English
