"I have been doing CrossFit now for over 10 years.  As a firefighter it has been the best workout to keep me fit for duty.  There is so much I love about CrossFit.  I love that it is so approachable for all fitness types.  Being able to scale a workout during injuries has been important for me to not lose ground. 

If you know me than you know I love anything with a barbell.  CrossFit brought me into the world of weightlifting.  I spent years as a competitive weightlifter and It was such a rewarding experience.  You will probably need to pry a bar out of my hands in my 80s!!!"
