“My brother got me a gift certificate for a month of training at EmerFit. He had been doing CrossFit for some time and really thought I’d enjoy the community and workouts. As much as I hate to admit that he’s right, he was. When my month was up I decided that I had to continue.
The workouts can be grueling sometimes, but I found that my recovery time was quicker and that my endurance was greater. I had been doing some running before I started training, but usually had to walk sometimes or was ready to collapse at the end of a 5 mile run. I went out and ran 7 miles after a couple weeks of training. Not only did I run the complete 7 miles, but was ready to run some more after getting something to drink. I played soccer in high school, but hadn’t done much consistent training since. I now feel like I am in just as good, if not better shape then I was 10 years ago. I know I am stronger, dead-lifting 1.5 xs my body weight!
The community of Crossfit helps you get through those workouts that are strenuous. Not with just the good nature competition of it, but that they encourage each other through it, and once one is finished and rested they, more often then not, join the last person to help them finish. You don’t get that when you’re working out by yourself in a regular gym.
Chris is an excellent coach. He is encouraging and genuinely cares about his clients. His knowledge of Crossfit, kettlebells, powerlifting, and running allows for him to push people to their greatest potential with out injury. He is dedicated to learning more so he can offer his clients the best training possible.” Irene Schneider, EmerFit Alumni, May 2008
