“I chose to attend Degree CrossFit mostly for convenience. I wanted to support a gym in Seaforth. I was pleased that I could walk or drive to the gym if I wanted. I also loved how the schedule worked around my work schedule that includes day and evening shifts.

My first impression of the gym was that I wondered where all  the workout equipment was? And what was that contraption in the corner that I later would learn was the `rig`. I definitely felt intimidated. I would quickly realize that this is an amazing place to be and a wonderful family to belong to. So friendly and supportive. Everyone has helped me build strength and self-esteem.

I have many bright spots but the one I remember the most was participating and being part of the “Elemonaters“ doing CrossFit Open 2018.

I am now concentrating on building strength in my arms and shoulders. I hope to accomplish my first toes to bar. Yikes!!! Also, I feel good about working on my distance running and even achieving a couple of double unders!!

When I joined the Degree CrossFit Gym little did I know how many great people I would meet. I feel blessed to have so many new people in my life that I would never have met. Thank you to everyone!”
