Snatches

Why do you love Crossfit?

I love that there is always something to improve on. Even though heavy lifting isn't my favorite thing, I never really believed I could workout with a barbell before and Crossfit gave me the confidence to do that. 

What makes Choice City so special?

Definitely the people. I was really intimidated when I first joined because I didn't know what to expect, but everyone was so friendly and helpful that I felt comfortable really quick! I also love seeing everybody improve in fitness and gain confidence doing things they never thought they could.
