After seeing an advertisement on Facebook I decided to give CrossFit a shot and signed up for the Foundations program. I liked the Foundations program, the instructors, and the people, so I signed up for a membership afterwards. I could only commit to something short-term, so I signed up for a 3 month membership. They have...Read More
CrossFit helped me throughout my pregnancy, during labor and postpartum. I’ve always been into working out, but I was getting sick of my usual routine: running, random weight lifting, sporadic group classes, etc. I had heard of CrossFit, but was hesitant to try something so unknown.

My goal was to work out 3x a week throughout the entire pregnancy, but I managed to do up to 5x a lot of weeks. It was very difficult...Read More

For years I have struggled with my weight and trying to find an exercise program that not only motivated me, but that I enjoyed going to. I was a swimmer all throughout my life and once I stopped swimming I didn’t know what to do. I tried just running and then joining a gym, but...Read More
We recently had the oppportunity to interview the illusive and ever so humble Mike Hanzich. This is what we managed to get out of him. How long have you been doing CrossFit? A year and a half. (Only at CFR7!) Why did you decide to start CrossFit? A couple guys from work were joking around...Read More
After a 20 year break from regular exercise, I stepped into CrossFit Route 7 about 7 months ago. Health and fitness had been crowded out by other priorities. After a disconcerting health check-up, my doctor suggested that I should do more exercise. Prior to my prolonged absence, I had been active and successful at sports...Read More
