My daughter has been doing Crossfit for several years and I have attended all her competitions. I was so impressed with how strong and supportive these women were that I found myself wishing that Crossfit had been around when I was younger. Then one day I was on my way to do my weekly grocery shopping and I noticed a banner in a new strip mall 5 minutes from my house “FitCity Crossfit”. I was so excited, it seemed like fate; I had to stop and inquire. Sarah was so welcoming and my first question was: “Am I too old to do Crossfit?” And her response? Absolutely not!!!
I had recently retired after 33 years with Verizon. I had been working
so many hours that my health and well-being had fallen by the wayside. Too many hours of work and not enough time to exercise, and before I knew it I had somehow accumulated 30 additional pounds! The time had come to do something about it. The kids were grown and I no longer had to work 70+ hours a week. Now it was time to do something for myself!!
Crossfit helped Pat with a weight loss of 30 pounds and feel energized againI had always enjoyed working out and was doing spin and yoga at the local gym, but I wanted to do more. I was looking for a full body workout that would not only make me stronger and more agile, but would help me look and feel younger. I definitely found that at FitCity!
Crossfit helped Pat achieve a weight loss of 30 pounds!
And so began my metamorphosis. I am the type of person who wants to jump in with both feet and do it all right now! I wanted to lift heavy weights, do strict pull ups, handstand walks, rope climbs….everything….and do it immediately! Through the leadership of Coach Sarah and Coach Javi, I am able to set short term goals which have helped get me to some of those goals. With their care and guidance, I learned patience and restraint. I came to understand that my lofty goals could not be realized overnight, but with passion, dedication and consistency they can and will be achieved.
I have been a proud member of FitCity for a little over a year now and I am amazed every day at the transformation. The extra 30 pounds are gone; I am getting stronger every day and I feel better than I have felt for years. And I owe it all to the dedication of my Coaches, along with the support and encouragement of my fellow FitCity members. That is the true beauty of the Crossfit experience – you are a family; you care for each other, help each other, cheer each other on. Unending inspiration, motivation and support – I wouldn’t trade this experience for anything! I urge anyone who is looking to improve their health and well-being, to join our FitCity family and be a part of this amazing journey!!
