PREMETEAM Hyrox Training club — Attraction in Troy

4 months ago, I made the leap into Crossfit. I was hesitant due to the public perception of what Crossfit is and if it would be right fore me. I had been a loyal member of LA Fitness, but over the years I began to feel worse. My cardio was not where it needed to be, but I did not have the motivation to run endlessly on the treadmill. My workouts began to suffer and the 90+ minutes I spent there began to be a waste. I gained weight and began to feel worse than I expected at 30 years old. Stiffness in my hips and lower back developed which made life a bit more difficult.

This all led me to sign up for one month to see what Stars and Stripes was all about. Keeping my LA Fitness membership just in case. After one month I was hooked. Each day is unlike the last, workouts are ever changing and challenging. Adam, Melissa, Joe, and John give us individual attention in small group settings. This allows them to monitor our form, motivate us, and adjust workouts to fit all fitness levels. I feel like I did in my younger years, gaining strength and conditioning that I was lacking. Cardio is much easier when it is disguised within workouts like it would be if playing sports. I have reduced my pain and stiffness since Stars and Stripes gets my body moving in different ways that doesn't include sitting on a machine or weight bench. Losing a few pounds has been the cherry on top of it all.

It would be a disservice if I did not comment on the community Stars and Stripes has. Everyone is a great teammate and pushes each other through days when many of us could have easily stayed home. They run many events like in house competitions, boot camp style workouts, run clubs, barbell club, etc.

My only regret is that I had not found them sooner, it has been the best decision I've made in my fitness journey. I encourage anyone to try it out and experience everything I have in my time at Stars...

In short, I would recommend Stars and Stripes CrossFit to anyone. My experience with SSCF was honestly phenomenal. Their trainers are kind, intelligent, passionate, and well researched in their own fields of study. As a fitness professional myself, I can truly say that I frequently look back at my experience with SSCF as foundational to my success in the wellness world.

If you are a novice exerciser, new to CrossFit, or perhaps looking for a new Avenue of exercise, here you will find help from staff that is supportive, patient, and experienced. If you are an experienced exerciser, an athlete, or a CrossFit veteran, here you will find help from staff that will push you to meet your goals, drive you to success, and inspire a strong and sturdy community.

At Stars and Stripes CrossFit, they have something for everyone. I would recommend SSCF to friends, colleagues, clients, and even my own grandparents. The trainers collaboratively have a wealth of knowledge that is truly tremendous and exhaustive. I was a regular member at SSCF a couple of years ago and I’d personally still be a member today if I didn’t move out of the region. Give SSCF a shot, they have a wide array of membership types and will work seamlessly with you and your schedule. Get started today - you...

Where to begin?

I joined Stars & Stripes about 2 months ago now, and it's been quite a journey. Coming to the gym I had zero Crossfit experience and was nervous about the unknowns involved in making the leap. As with many people, Crossfit seems like a whole new ball game when compared to traditional lifting. I dropped by one day after work and was lucky enough to meet Adam and talk about the gym and about Crossfit. This was a great gesture, that was not necessary, and really helped alleviate any of the anxieties I had. The next day I started at Stars and Stripes and haven't looked back since.

The gym is small enough to be personal, yet big enough to never feel cramped. The community at Stars & Stripes has far exceeded any of the other gyms that I have gone too. I really can't say enough about how great the people here are. The quality of the workouts have been great. Every workout, every day, every week I feel challenged and kept on my toes learning new things. The coaches and the community have been extensively helpful in my personal growth at the gym thus far and I cannot wait to see where some more time and dedication takes me. I would highly recommend this gym to anyone...
