I have always loved working out, but I was so bored with going to the regular gym and doing the same old thing day in and day out. I wasn’t getting any benefit out of it anymore and very often would skip going and just say I’ll eat less today instead….Now, I look forward to the days that I go to CrossFit. The workouts, the people and the happiness that I feel from being at the box are all things that I never expected on the day I walked into CrossFit Chicago for the first time. Olympic movements were all new to me and I was so impressed with how the coaches went through every movement step by step and made sure that I was doing everything properly. I love being in an environment where people feel so strongly about the importance of fitness in their lives. It creates such a positive attitude and CFC fosters that attitude. Everyday is better when I make it to the box. I don’t feel the stress of my job when I’m there and I always leave in a better mood then when I came. I feel like I am a stronger person physically, mentally and emotionally because of CFC.
