I cheated on my ice cream with CrossFit.

I fell in love with CrossFit Threshold because it has the allure that other heavily electronic and mirrored gyms lack. Here, results are ensured, as well as the support and team spirit that are so thick, you could wipe them off the walls. I was asked to attend CrossFit from a family friend, who, over 50 years of age, has stronger triceps and core than ever. This was enticing in and of itself, despite our age difference.

At CrossFit Threshold, there are as many young children and mothers, as there are competitive athletes and military personnel. Here, bodies thrive to their best potential, despite any prior athletic experience or body type. Who wouldn’t want this??? After the addictive energy that Chris, Tony, and Elisha spat at me within my first 30 minute session, I was hooked. Within a month, I was able to lose serious lbs, all the while discovering that abs aren’t a figment of imagination! 

CrossFit Threshold was a home that truly encouraged personal growth for a lifetime, not simply to get a membership fee. The weekly inquiries by Chris about our eating habits slowly crept into my head each time I went grocery shopping, so my diet evolved as well. Because of Threshold’s team, and the other Crossfitters, I have such a developed sense of self and fitness. If anyone ever wanted to have a healthier outlook on life while firmly bonding to those around, then CrossFit Threshold’s it.

Thank you so much for showing me that I can ALWAYS do it!!!
