What bought me to CrossFit was I had seen a bunch of stuff on social media and it was always in the back of my mind to try out. I’ve tried a few different gyms over the years but nothing really stuck for some reason like Degree did!

My first impression was nothing but positive. My 1 on 1 OnRamp classes were good to get a grasp of everything and everyone in the gym, it is one big family. It seems so as a newcomer I was a bit nervous about working out in front of other people but it’s a pretty judge free zone and everything can be tailored to where your at age or fitness wise which was mint.

Getting through a workout lol, my first real bright spot was being able to get the barbell on my shoulders to do a back squat. On a scale of 1-10 I’m a 0 for flexibility and could never do a back squat because my shoulder wouldn’t go back far enough. So after a few tips from the coaches and working on my flexibility in only 6 months I got it done!

Right now I’m just working on my flexibility and getting overall more fit. My body is slowly getting into better shape so I’m really trying to give it my all in classes to see some major changes hopefully for beach season!!

My favourite Degree memory is just feeling like a part of the gym. Everyone’s very welcoming and encouraging also love the way I feel after a workout I have more energy and it makes my day better it seems.
