Here's a great e-mail from one of our members that I thought I would share.

Hi James
 
Earlier this year, the recession caught up with the job that I had held for 11 years. Not only did I find myself out of work but I was full of self-doubt and uncertainty. In that situation, one of the first things I planned to do was join a gym and get in shape. I want to tell you that finding CrossFIt Orillia and becoming a member is one of the best things I have ever done for myself.
 
In just 4 months, it has helped me gain strength, endurance and higher self-confidence. But I have also lost a few things, too – 35 pounds, creaky joints and best of all, I no longer have to take expensive prescription medication to control cholesterol.
 
From my first introduction to CFO, I felt at ease, even if the work outs are – well – hard work. The knowledge and expertise of the instructors, the scaled exercises that have allowed me to improve without discouragement or injury, the inspiring 'high-fives' from other members after completing a work out, the clean surroundings in the gym – these are just a few of the things I appreciate the most.
 
I would highly recommend CrossFit Orillia to anyone, at any level of fitness, who wants to improve their health and their life!

3. It's been great to watch you improve so much over the last few months! Achievements like this often go unnoticed because huge improvements are so commonplace at CFO. Congratulations on your success so far and keep up the great work! This is a great community to be surrounded by.
