Why I love CrossFit: I love CrossFit for many reasons but the main thing I love about it is how life changing it is.  It literally improves people’s lives everyday. I love how rewarding that is. I feel so fortunate to be part of life transformations including my own.  I love the hard work and time required to achieve results that are being sought out and also love sharing in the celebrations as personal records are accomplished.  I love CrossFit for everything it stands for and for every “fire-breather” it produces.  3… 2… 1… GO!
