I started my first Foundations class at CrossFit Route 7 on April 9, 2018, and can’t believe how different my life is now. I’ve generally been pretty active throughout my life but struggled with consistency, especially if it’s something I was doing alone. When I started CrossFit, my goal was to find something that I could *stick with* because I am a completely different person, less anxious and much less prone to depression, when I’m able to exercise regularly.

My experience this past year at CrossFit Route 7 has been better than I could have imagined! Because of the great coaches and new friends that have helped to keep me accountable, I have been able to workout more consistently than ever and am in the best shape of my life, mentally and physically. I’ve seen physical results and gotten stronger (like my recent 200lb Deadlift! what!) but what keeps me coming back is the people, and the knowledge that if I just show up I’ve already won and everything else is a bonus. Even after a bad day at work I still leave CrossFit Route 7 with a smile. THANK YOU CFR7 for providing an encouraging and uplifting place to get my sweat on and build lifelong healthy habits!
