Do I have time to commit? Am I fit enough to start? Can I afford this? Will I succeed? Will it be worth it? What if I don’t make it? How do I start? What if I can’t make it through a class? What about my injuries? Will people judge me? Will this be a waste of money? I’m not a “gym person”. How many days do I have to go to see results? Is this going to be hard? Will I get too bulky? Is this going to help me lose weight? Will people judge me? Will I succeed? Will it be worth it? What if I don’t make it? How do I start? Do I have time to commit? Am I fit enough to start? Can I afford this?
In one hour I got strength training, cardio conditioning, flexibility, balance and coordination focused training. Check off effective, but to my surprise the group I was training with was incredible supportive. The loudest cheers were for the last one to finish the workout (WOD).
It’s easy to be intimidated walking into a CrossFit gym, as you will be warmly greeted with the fittest people you have ever met in your life. I can’t say enough about the coaching, their knowledge is seemingly unlimited but I am most impressed by their determination to keep you safe and to support you at whatever level your fitness.
After 8 months of CrossFit I got pregnant, and now 6 months in, I do CrossFit Lite with Deanna three times per week. She helps me tailor every WOD to my ability and I modify the intensity to my comfort each day. It is my favorite part of my week and I always feel better than I did before the WOD, I intend to continue until the end of my pregnancy.
I would recommend CrossFit Vernon to anyone that wants to include fitness in their life. You can do it at any level, any age and any ability.
I remember not being able to do a single ‘ladies’ pushup and wanted to x up my body before it was too late. It has been 11 months and I am now in the best shape of my life.
The workouts have strengthened my body in ways that I had never dreamed possible after kids. I can squat my body weight. I can climb a rope to the ceiling. I actually have visible abs. I am stronger than I have ever been but have also leaned out, dropping to a size two without dieting. I am not a sporty person or an ‘athletic type’, so it is exciting to see what my body can do and I am thrilled when I surprise myself by being able to do something new. CrossFit Vernon gets results, even for those of us who don’t have hours to spend at the gym.
Thank you to Jeremy and everyone at CrossFit Vernon for encouraging and supporting me, and recognizing that I can do it, even when I am not sure myself.
Thanks to Jeremy and the other coaches, I have been able to continue with CrossFit,
without injury. Although I only work out three hours a week, I haven’t felt this healthy in years. I have lost almost 10 pounds, I feel lighter, stronger and I can actually sleep through the night without back pain. Another benet is that I have more energy which allows me to be much more active with my family. I would recommend CrossFit Vernon to anyone.
