Chris, Elisha, and Tony,
I first attended CrossFit Threshold in mid-may of 2009. I’m in the military and was temporarily stationed in Florida for a few months. I had been CrossFitting for approximately one year when I first walked through the doors of Threshold and needed a good gym to workout at for the duration of my stay. Instead, I found a great gym that I hated leaving when the time came. I quickly became friends with both instructors and other members of the gym. There was the camaraderie of friendly competition that can only be found inside a CrossFit box. I found the instructors not only friendly and eager to teach, but extremely knowledgeable in their field with some impressive backgrounds, of which the WOD’s accurately reflected. I enjoyed the training to such a degree that I would drive 30 minutes one way to attend this gym 5-6 times a week, and had no complaints, it was worth every minute.

I greatly enjoyed the numerous competitions and special events that where hosted by Threshold and other gyms in the Miami area. While I had been doing CrossFit on my own for quite some time prior, I had never participated in such events and it was a great experience. I was in decent physical condition prior to attending the gym, yet during my time at Threshold, I saw major improvements in my fitness level all around and set numerous PR’s. My technique improved greatly on many exercises, such as butterfly pull-ups and Olympic lifts, due to solid coaching and helpful tips from the instructors. My only regret is that I couldn’t stay longer, and train in the new box. I have attended several CrossFit gyms as a regular, for certifications and just as a drop in, but Threshold was by far my favorite. To Tony, Chris and Elisha, I wish you the best of luck and to the future of CrossFit Threshold. I know your gym will prosper.
