I have been a smoker and heavy drinker for the past 10 years. Over the years I’ve convinced myself that I didn’t have a problem as long as I could maintain basic activities of daily living. It wasn’t until I joined Crossfit Threshold that reality hit me hard.

I had difficulty breathing, palpitations, and severe headaches while working out lately. I had to seek professional help and underwent an MRI to check the severity of my migraines while working out. Fortunately, my smoking and drinking has not severely or permanently effected my well being and it has given me an opportunity to change my life around.

It has been extremely difficult for me to control my drinking and stop smoking cold turkey. Being in the military I am constantly surrounded by peers and co-workers that constantly smoke and excessively drink and I have regrettably placed myself in numerous situations that discredited my character.

Crossfit Threshold has been very beneficial to me in many ways. It has given me the support to maintain a healthy lifestyle and motivation and determination to end my habits of smoking and drinking. I want to surround myself with positive and driven individuals. I am truly honored to be a part of Crossfit Threshold.
