Jen Gets Her First Pull-up

Front Squat

“I was introduced to the concept of CrossFit by a co-worker. I was immediately interested in pursuing CrossFit and as I was researching facilities, I came across Emerfit and Chris. He was highly recommended and Emerfit was described as one of the best gyms in Northern Colorado.

I have been attending Chris’s gym for almost 2 and half months and have seen incredible results in just the short amount of time. Working as a law enforcement officer, I am constantly challenged physically with daily tasks. The agency I work for requires quarterly physical fitness assessments. Before I started CrossFit, my results for the physical fitness assessment were as follows: 30 pushups in one minute, 40 sit-ups in one minute, and 13:15 minutes to run a mile and a half. My current results are as follows: 47 pushups in one minute, 55 sit-ups in one minute, and 12:27 minutes for the mile and a half run. I completed my first Iron Girl 5k run with a 27:23 time.

Chris has been instrumental in my progress. Not only is he an excellent CrossFit trainer, he has knowledge and training in other fitness areas such as kettlebells, powerlifting, and running. This gives him a greater understanding of how the body works in regards to fitness training. He has a knack for knowing people’s limits and pushing them just far enough to ensure great performance and progress without pushing them too hard. I have accomplished great results in a short amount of time and I am looking forward to seeing what my future progress will be.” Jen Mendez of Greeley, May 2008.
