My fantastic friend Johanna kept telling me about this awesome place in Seaforth that she worked out at.

I always thought of CrossFit as heavy lifting, I have had lower back issues for many years and the thought of heavy lifting scared me.  I’m so happy to say that CrossFit has helped me to strengthen my lower back and decrease the issues I have had!

My first bright spot was my first WOD, I came to bring a friend day with Jo, I saw the work out and thought, hmmm, this looks intense….it was tough, however after I got through it, I had this amazing feeling of accomplishment!

It’s funny that I am on the “Trouble unders” Open team, as I’m working on double unders right now, I have a ways to go, but am confident I will get there.

Fitness is not new to me, however sticking to the same type of fitness routine is.  I have been coming to Degree for one year now. I was away on vacation for the past week, and it is always the memory of the awesome feeling I have after finishing each class that keeps me coming back!
