Why do you love CF?
I love the "constantly varied" aspect of CF. It forces me to do things I don't like and it rewards me with things I do. I also love that I because of CF I feel strong.

What makes CC so special? 
The community is amazing and encouraging and I love that we all hang out both at the gym and outside of it. The coaches have such a tremendous amount of knowledge and passion for teaching and helping you become the best version of yourself. Everyone at CCCF would do anything to help you, I am constantly blown away by the generosity of the coaches and athletes. The people at the gym have truly become my family and I feel so lucky to have found CCCF. I love my FitFam!
