This. This is what hard work looks like. This is the reward I got for pushing myself to better myself, the consistency I put in, and the support of my fellow Jurassicans. This is a one month progress check since I started CrossFit and I couldnāt be more shocked at the results.
If you ever questioned yourself or are doubting yourself about trying CrossFitā¦..donāt. Just do it. I promise you the rewards outweigh the aches and pains, the sweat and tears, and the bumps and bruises.
Find a box that you jive with, and that gives you the feeling that you look forward to working out in. Find a box that you can call your second home and the folks that are there with you your Gym Family.
You will find a family friendly, goal oriented, friendly coaches, and the best gym family one could ask for. They cheer for you, they celebrate your achievements with you, they motivate you to push your limits and to achieve anything you set your mind too.
Iām so proud of myself for the results that I have been achieving since I joined Jurassic CrossFit. That number on the scale doesnāt matter now. Itās all about setting goals and crushing them. I canāt wait to see what my 3 month check in looks like!
UPDATE
Here we are, 3 years later and Jurassic CrossFit continues to be my home away from home. This gym has been such a huge impact on my life, and I would not be nearly as active as I am without their help. 3 years ago, I couldnāt jog 200m without my asthma firing up. 3 years later and I am able to jog/walk a 5k in an hour, and will be testing myself again in a couple weeks for another 5k. I have participated in the CrossFit Open every year since I joined, and this year will be the first time I have Rxād all of the workouts (well, try to at least!).
If you ever question if you can do CrossFit, yes you can. If you ask where you should go, itās Jurassic CrossFit.
Update 2!!!
Still coming to Jurassic and Iām feeling even better than before! Iām closer to some goals I set for myself, like wall walks and double unders, and participating in the Open this year, I was able to get closer then ever to finishing a workout that was planned for last week.
If you want to try CrossFit, I canāt think of a better place than...
Ā Ā Ā Read more*UPDATE * I have now been attending Jurassic CrossFit for a little over a year. The changes I've seen in myself is amazing. The atmosphere at Jurassic is unlike any gym I've ever been in. Everyone is so friendly and the coaching staff is always ready to coach each class with enthusiasm and expertise. The gym space is always very clean and tge equipment is well maintained. One thing that sets this gym apart is the size and the "Big Ass Fans." Everyone knows you come to the gym to sweat, bit having those 3 Big Ass Fans circulating the air is so refreshing. They also have 6 big roll up doors that are open in the spring, summer, and fall. They have luxurious restrooms complete with showers. Let me tell you this facility is top notch. In addition to offering CrossFit classes throughout the day, Jurassic CrossFit also offers expert personnel training sessions with trained and certified coaching. If you're wanting to improve your fitness and your life give them a call. I finally decided to take control of my health and fitness. Jurassic CrossFit came highly recommended, and their advertising on social media was in the right place at the right time. I contacted them through one of the ads and went in for a no sweat intro. After talking with Lucas, I liked what I was hearing and decided to take advantage of their 6-week challenge. Being a complete beginner to any kind of formal exercise, I was really nervous about walking in that door for my first on-ramp workout. My trainer was Coach Kayla. Kayla is amazing and is really good at teaching each exercise and made sure I was safely completing them to avoid injury. She also makes it fun. The vibe at Jurassic CrossFit is very friendly...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreNow that we are not longer members at the gym I can be honest, even though they will have it taken down as they do not want to hear the truth or deal with the issues.
I will start by saying that the owner of the gym will touch women in ways that make them absolutely uncomfortable and until they stand up to him, he laughs it off. He always did it to my wife when we werent in class together, so theres a red flag.
Second, I guess I will say that for the outrageous prices, the owner will always try to scale you inorder to prevent you from ever getting better, especially if youre a male and he is an intimidated little girl by your progress.
The coaches, aside from two aren't great, we eneded up only going to two coaches classes because they were the only ones who were willing to actually help and had training to do so. Also because the owner coaching classes made my wife more uncomfortable than you can imagine.
Multiple people had brought up concerns to certain folks and it was never addressed in a professional manner. Which for your hard earned money, you would think something would change, but no, they just want your money and do not care about your health or fitness, other than the two coaches who I won't name, but its easy to figure out.
It is not a family environment, especially once you figure some things out like we did. Once we learned these we committed to leaving for our own personal safety and comfort reasons, this one I wont say exactly, but google searches can be your friend.
If you want to become fit, join a gym, join crossfit complete (which by the way is where a lot of their coaches have gone). I encourage you to go somewhere where your goals and needs will be met,...
