Crossfit908 is more than just a gym…
Beads of sweat drip down my face as I am gasping for air. I stop for a breather and shake out my muscles while getting the strength to finish the Workout of the Day. Suddenly, I hear, “Let’s go, Lara!” and “You got this! C’mon, girl!”
This is just one of the many reasons why I love Crossfit908. The coaches and the members are so inspiring and motivating that I am able to push harder when I feel like I can’t any longer. They give me the strength and speed that I need to complete these workouts.
As someone who has always been active, I have never felt so strong both physically and mentally as I do from Crossfit. I never thought I would be able to do the things that I can do now such as strict unassisted pull-ups, ring dips, or any of the Olympic lifts. I’m even beginning to like running distances longer than 200 meters!
It all begins with Tim, Allen, Pat, and Jake – such amazing trainers who really take the time to listen to the members and any concerns/injuries they have. I had a shoulder injury that I needed to rest and lay off of for a few months. With their help, I was able to modify all of the workouts so my shoulder could heal. With the trainers’ knowledge and expertise, I was able to continue rigorous strength training that still made me a strong athlete. I am happy to say that my shoulder is feeling great and back to normal!
Crossfit908 fosters a family community where I am encouraged to do my best. Thanks to the trainers and members, I am able to achieve my goals. PR-ing (Personal Records) with an Olympic lift or shaving time off a workout I did previously feels amazing! The motivation resonates throughout the gym from the encouragement heard during strength activities/workouts and post-workout.
I continue to set goals for myself such as accomplishing feats I’ve never thought were possible. I have grown so much as an athlete and strive to learn and develop as a Crossfitter. The sky is the limit at Crossfit908. I am passionate about improving myself everyday and with the support and help from Tim and the 908 family, I can… and you can too!
