My relationship with crossfit began exactly two weeks after Memorial Day 2014. Our son played rugby with Nakahi RFC and the coaches began to encourage the boys to participate in crossfit during the off season. I had heard of crossfit but didn’t really know what it was all about. A couple, new to town, invited the boys to a free “Hero” workout at a local park Memorial Day weekend. Aaron, our son, came home afterward and told us how horrible it was, but assured us he did it. There must have been something to it because the boys were given an open invitation to come to the park, every Saturday morning throughout the summer, and to bring their family and friends. In order to find common ground with our son, my husband Tim, made the decision to go with Aaron the next weekend. Even our daughter, Amber, got in on...Read more

I found Crossfit through a friend who had gotten her Level 1 certification and was coaching, she encouraged me to give it a try, I was a little nervous being overweight and in my mid 40’s, but I walked into the gym and gave it a try, that was 3 and a half years ago! Crossfit has completely changed my life, I had terrible anxiety attacks and through working with my coaches, I have become mentally stronger and I have managed to get this under control and even stop taking my anxiety medication totally. Through my community, I have made long lasting friendships that are very special and could never be replaced! I had a stroke when I was in my early 30’s, so physically there are so many things that are a challenge, but for everything there ia a scaling option in Crossfit and this really boosted my confidence....Read more

I have never really considered myself an athlete. Oh sure, I played football, baseball, basketball, golf, and ran track when I was a kid. I grew up in a little country town and that is what everyone did. I never did it for the love of the sports, but rather for social acceptance. Sometimes that worked out for me, but what I remember most is the coaches were only interested in the kids with natural abilities that could help the teams win. I was rarely “that kid”, if ever. I never planned this crossfit-fitness-health journey at the beginning of summer 2014. I didn’t take any before pictures, take measurements, set goals, or make a game plan. I participated in my first CrossFit WOD when Ben and Catie held free workouts in the park on Saturday mornings as a way to get the community involved and to promote their dream of...Read more
