My wife and i were told about CF a couple years ago, by a friend, but just wasn~SQ~t sure if it was what we were looking for. We have been gym rats all our lives,doing the same routine, same exercises, and seeing the same results...ZERO. Then our son decided to give it a shot. He came home that day saying how challenging it was and that he was ~SQ~WOD Drunk~SQ~ at the end of his 8 minute workout. I~SQ~m thinking ~SQ~8 minutes~SQ~, come on. I spend at least a hour at the regular gym and I have NEVER been ~SQ~WOD Drunk~SQ~, whatever that was. My wife Decides to give it a try. She goes on a Monday morning and calls me afterwards to tell me how insane it was. Her first workout took her a little over 8 minutes and again I hear the WOD drunk term. I reply that my son and her got to be sissies ( not exactly the word I used, haha) how difficult can 8 minutes be? She replies that she signed my arse up at 6:30 that evening. I went, I listened to the coach and was ready for my first WOD called the 5-4-3-2-1. It consists of a 500 row, 400m run, 30 squats, 20 push-ups, and 10 pull-ups. No problem, right? Well, at my old gym I always hit the weights, but as I would get burned out, cardio days always seemed to be my ~SQ~skip days~SQ~. So, I knew this was going to be a challenge cardio-wise. I start the workout...350meters into the row I was already dying. Legs rubbery and burning, tweety birds singing in my ear. Thinking what did I get into. I finish the WOD in just a little over 7 minutes. I~SQ~m laying on the floor and getting my first feeling of what being WOD drunk is all about. I WAS HOOKED! CF is daily conversation in our house. We talk about how well we think we are going to do, or how hard the WOD looks. We live for WOD days. <br> We have been doing CF now for about 1-1/2 years. Over that time we seen many improvements with strength, flexibility, balance, and stamina. The intriguing thing about CF is that the constant variance of the workouts keep the body always trying to adapt to the new challenge. It~SQ~s never the same. The workouts are programmed by the instructors to cover all aspects of fitness and believe it or not there is a ~SQ~science~SQ~ behind it. <br>Recently my wife and I decided to take our interest in CF a step further. Instead of just doing CF, we wanted to spread our love of the sport and become certified trainers. We want to help others learn the fundamental movements that CF focuses on to insure a healthy and viable life, young and old. We hope that our encouragement and push for ultimate fitness will set you on the right path for a healthy and happy life, in and out of the gym. We are not here to make a million dollars or retire, but to preach what we believe in...CF! Training will spread its benefits through all aspects of your life. You will be able to go out and play with your kids and encourage them to be active instead of just sitting in the house playing on their PS3~SQ~s or sitting in front of the boob tube. You can go on a nice hike in the park, ride some of the great bike paths in the area or go on a long walk with your significant other. At least you will feel like its not work but an enjoyable way to get out and DO something. Another thing that we want to encourage is eating right. Eating right is the foundation of all existence. If you want to feel like working out then you have to fuel your body with the right foods. We are always available for a consultation on proper nutrition. We hate to call this a diet. Because most of the time when you diet, you TRY it for awhile and when you don~SQ~t get the results that you were promised or what you had envisioned, you go back to eating the way you always have. We believe its a life style. A life style that is pretty easy to follow and after you get on board, get your mind wrapped around it, it~SQ~s attainable. If you just take the time to prepare and plan, you can do it. This is not counting points or carbs, not starving yourself or anything like you~SQ~ve probably tried before. It~SQ~s just eating REAL FOOD. Real food means that it doesn~SQ~t come from a box, in a bag, or from the closest fast food restaurant . We mean meat, vegetables, fruits,nuts and seeds. Easy, right. The funny thing is that after you eat ~SQ~clean~SQ~ for awhile you will ~SQ~feel~SQ~ better. I promise. And when you decide that you want a ~SQ~cheat day~SQ~, go for it. You have to live a little. You will also find out that the way that you feel after your ~SQ~cheat day~SQ~ may not be worth it anyways and get you right back on track. <br> We will always be available at class, email or even a phone call for any questions or concerns that you might have. Or if ya just need a little pep talk to get you through a tough moment. We hope to see ya at the next WOD! <br> Sincerely, Coach Mark <br> <br>DIG DEEP, RISE UP!!</td></table>"))

I played Basketball because I loved it and played Soccer to get in shape for Basketball. So in other words I never lifted a barbell until I joined YCF in 2013. So after HS I stayed active doing some off and on running, BB leagues, volleyball , etc. but nothing consistent. <br> <br>About 2010 my wife and I decided it was time to do something and get into shape. We got P90x and did the program twice. We saw some definite results and did the Insanity workout plan a couple of times as well. Again we saw some results and our Cardio was on fire. We started mixing in some running because while those DVD workouts are fine they are boring and only get you so far. We found a local running group (RunJunkeEs) owned by another coach here (Dan Woods). I started getting into races and ran a few 1/2 marathons. Dan lives in the same subdivision as Mark and Jeanette (the owners of YCF) and saw them in their garage working out and was intrigued... Long story short... The running group was offered an introduction to Crossfit. We~SQ~d heard about Crossfit and looked into it but never took it further. So once we went and tried it out we never looked back and were immediately hooked. It~SQ~s just the perfect element off all the things we love to do and the technical aspects of the lifting and movements really piqued my interest so I started digging and learning more about them. Then I got really interested in the coaching side of things and absolutely love seeing people go through the change... The change from when they arrive on day one and have that unsure look on their face. Eventually that unsure look turns into confidence. And seeing that happen over the course of months and years is an amazing experience I look forward to seeing every time I step on those mats to coach!!!!</td></table>"))

However, in 2006 a poker game changed all of that. No, I didn’t lose a bet; it was a conversation. A friend had lost some weight and explained that he had basically done so by cutting carbs. I followed his lead and experienced some weight loss as well. I knew I wasn’t exactly eating “healthy” and decided to incorporate cardio as a way to further my weight loss goals. I started running intervals on a treadmill at my gym and would run as long as I could and as fast as I could and then walk for a bit. In the beginning, I was running 20-30 second intervals and over the course of a few months managed to bump it up to 20 minutes without stopping. <br> <br>One day I decided to move my practice to the outdoors and mapped a mile out in my neighborhood. I ran the mile, without stopping, and felt like a million bucks! That day truly changed my outlook on running. It also changed my mindset. It was the first time I believed I might be capable of things that I had also deemed impossible. As of Jan 2015 I’ve logged more that 7,500 miles, completed lots of 5ks, 10ks and ½ marathons. I’ve completed 4 marathons and 5 ultra marathons with my longest race being the Northface Challenge 50 mile run in 2012. I’m also the owner of RunJunkEes®, a web based international running community with more than 18,000 members and 84 chapter locations, worldwide. (<a href=~SQ~http://www.RunJunkEes.com)~SQ~ style=~SQ~word-break:break-all;~SQ~ target=~SQ~_blank~SQ~><u>http://www.RunJunkEes.com)</u> </a> <br> <br>Fast forward to July 2013. I was out running in my neighborhood one day and observed a group of people in my neighbor’s (Mark & Jeanette) garage and front yard. They were throwing balls at the wall and doing squats with pvc pipes! (can you see the strange look on my face?) Curious, I stopped and said “Hi” to Mark. He explained they were in the process of starting their own CrossFit gym and invited me to give it a try some time. Initially, I had zero interest; I felt I was already as fit as I needed to be. I had heard of CrossFit but all I had heard were the falsehoods that it was “cult like” and “dangerous”. I didn’t really have much interest in chancing an injury and potentially throwing a wrench into my future running plans but on the other side I knew the my lack of leg and core strength was something that could use improvement. I called Mark by the end of the week and the rest is history. <br> <br>Today, not only am I still a very passionate runner but I’m also a very passionate CrossFitter. My wife Sally and two of our children are also passionate CrossFitters. In 2012, I became a RRCA certified run coach and have been helping people discover a love (or at least a tolerated acceptance) for running ever since. I’m excited for the opportunity to do the same as a CrossFit coach with YCF. For me, running and CrossFit are more than just something to do…both are part of my lifestyle and part of a life long journey of self discovery as well as my commitment to active, healthy lifestyle. As the saying goes “You don’t have to be great to start but you have to start to be great.” Hope to see you at the box soon! ~Coach Dan</td></table>"))

I worked out because I ~SQ~had~SQ~ to, to not get ~SQ~fat~SQ~. As a punishment for loving food. A trainer I had many years ago introduced me to Cross Fit after explaining to me that proper goal are what do you want to be able to DO, not, how much you want to weigh. I wanted to play with the strong girls, but never thought I could. Well, I was wrong. <br>I found my people, my recess, my happy place in CrossFit. I also found my strength along the way. Fast forward several years, and I~SQ~m stronger, healthier, ~SQ~younger~SQ~ than 10 years ago. I~SQ~m Level 1 certified, a competitor and a power lifter. I balance a full time career as a Nurse Practitioner with a family and coaching as well as finding time to work on my own goals as well.

I never played any sports in high school because I struggled with poor coordination. I even had to be in ~SQ~special gym~SQ~ classes in elementary school because of my lack of coordination. Then in my senior year of high school I did a weight lifting class instead of gym because I was tired of sucking and being picked last in regular gym. In college I went to the typical gym that had machines, machines, and more machines. I continued to work out after college, but it took me many years to get back to weightlifting. After the birth of my second son, I wanted to drop the baby weight fast, so my husband suggested a local crossfit gym. It took me 3 months to not hate it...because I lost all the baby weight and was getting strong. I almost quit because of a coach that pushed me to the point of tears, but I was determined to lose more weight, build more muscle, and become stronger. <br> <br>After 4 wonderful years at that box (the business closed), I moved over to YCF. Immediately I knew this would be my new ~SQ~home.~SQ~ I LOVED the welcoming, friendly, and family atmosphere of the gym. My oldest son was enjoying the classes, so I knew we had to stay. <br> <br>Never in a million years would I have predicted I~SQ~d become a crossfit coach. The kids...they won me over! After watching how much fun my son was having and how much fun the coach was having, I wanted to have that kind of fun too!! Being a special ed teacher made me think, gosh wouldn~SQ~t it be fun to teach kids with disabilities Crossfit? So, I took my level 1, and then my kid~SQ~s class and never looked back. <br> <br>The only stipulation I said to Jeanette was I only want to coach kids....adults scare me. Several months later Jeanette won- she suckered me into an endurance based class. And ya know what? I love my Sunday Oxygeners as much as my Littles and look forward to seeing all of them!! <br> <br>Lessons....don~SQ~t be afraid to put yourself out there and try new things, you might end up loving them! If you want more, put in the extra work, and the results will AMAZE you! It doesn~SQ~t matter where you start, where you finish, or even how you do it-what matters is that you DID do it! Be kind, because you never know who will motivate you or who you will motivate. And remember, always strive to be better than yesterday! <br> <br>Favorite movements: Pull ups (strict, kipping, c2b), rope climbs, Power Snatch <br>Least favorites: Thrusters and wallballs <br> <br>Level 1 & Kids Crossfit Trainer</td></table>"))

Heavy lifting 5 days a week, Bench, Back Squats, and some bicep curls. Proper form and movement patterns weren~SQ~t a concern as long as you moved heavy weight. Cardio days always ended up being ~SQ~rest~SQ~ days, and I was unable to run more than a mile without walking. I graduated in 2012, and came to the realization that something needed to change. I was still going to the globo-gym, lifting weights, and skipping cardio days. However, nothing was changing. I~SQ~d heard about Crossfit, and despite being nervous decided to give it a shot. My first WoD was the same as everyone elses. Rowing, running, push ups, squats, and sit ups. Less than 10 minutes long, no problem. Fast forward 8 minutes, and you~SQ~d find me gasping for breath and wondering what the hell just happened. I was instantly hooked. 2 years later, my parents opened YCF, and the rest is history. YCF is a community of people who want to see everybody succeed and achieve their goals. Nobody works out alone, and the last person to finish is always being cheered for the loudest. Watch any video from a Crossfit competition, whether it be Crossfit Games footage or a small town local competition. You will never see anything like it. Complete strangers come together to cheer on everybody. Nobody finishes alone. You~SQ~ll never find another sport where top teams and athletes cheer for their competitors and push them to do better. Even if you don~SQ~t think that you~SQ~re healthy enough, or good enough, I encourage you to step out of your comfort zone and try something new. The worst thing that can happen is you get a good workout, and meet some great people. <br> <br>-Coach Levi <br>Crossfit Level 1 Trainer <br>Crossfit Certified Olympic Weightlifting Trainer</td></table>"))

I started playing football when I was a freshman in high school, and in turn was introduced to the weight room. All throughout high school I would lift weights, go to the track run some wind sprints, and then back to the weight room. Go heavy on the bench, squats, and curls. Throughout college and afterwards it was always more of the same. Cardio days were typically my “rest” days, partly because running on a treadmill is painfully boring. <br>I was first introduced to Crossfit by a coworker. I had read about it in passing but always thought it was too expensive and I was already going to the global gym 3-4 days a week, what more did I need? I was in good enough shape, right? Well I started to watch some Crossfit Games vides on YouTube, and was introduced to Rich Froning, Dan Bailey, and Jason Khalipa. These guys were beasts!!! On top of it the workouts looked like fun and not something I could do in the typical gym. <br>My first visit to a box was just like everyone’s, did a WOD that was “only” 8 minutes long. Sit ups, push-ups, and air squats. NO PROBLEM, I thought. 8 minutes later I was on the ground gasping, and was HOOKED! I couldn’t wait to get back. I was soon doing Olympic lifting, flipping tires, swinging kettle bells, rowing, throwing weighted balls against the wall, and Burpees. Where had this been my entire life? <br>That was over 2 years ago, and I still get that thrill after completing a WOD. However the actual working out is only a part of what makes Crossfit special. It’s the community of the box. It’s like having a second family to workout with. They are there to cheer you on as you finish a tough workout, or to brag to as you hit a new PR. Crossfit is the only sport were the person finishing last gets the loudest cheers. A whole community that comes together to make each other better. YCF is special place, that words can’t do justice. My advice to anyone looking into trying Crossfit is to take the plunge and give it a shot. It might not be for you, however it might be the best decision in regards to your health you ever make! <br>~ Tony</td></table>"))
