Up
until
late
2022,
I
hadn't
really
worked
out
in
almost
20
years.
I
had
gained
a
ton
of
weight
and
hated
working
out
alone
in
garden
variety
large
gyms.
I
needed
help
to
start
working
out
again
but
wanted
a
safe
place
to
do
it.
My
friend
recommended
I
try
out
Crossfit
Crown
City
and
I
was
like
"Crossfit,
that's
for
crazy
strong
folks."
I
took
the
plunge
anyway
because
I
wanted
a
community
to
workout
with.
I
started
working
out
1-2
times
a
week
for
the
first
3
months.
Every
workout
has
amazing
coaches
that
helped
me
through
each
workout.
I
hardly
ever
finished
my
workouts
because
there
were
so
intense
but
the
coaches
continued
to
encourage
me
and
find
modifications
to
exercises
I
could
not
even
attempt
to
do
(e.g.
handstand
pushups,
bar
muscle
ups,
etc).
I
can't
stress
how
the
coaches
here
are
not
only
qualified
and
skilled,
but
are
super
encouraging.
Even
in
a
group
class
of
8-10,
I
feel
like
I
have
coaches
that
give
me
the
attention
I
need
to
make
progress
not
only
in
my
stamina
and
strength,
but
most
of
all
in
my
form.
Crossfit
involves
some
advance
movements
and
having
a
coach
watch
you
every
step
of
the
way
ensured
I
did
not
get
injured.
Another
thing
I
love
about
this
gym
is
the
community
of
Crossfitters.
They
are
friendly,
encouraging
and
not
overly
competitive.
Of
course,
when
joining
Crossfit,
everyone
has
a
goal
to
achieve.
But
you
need
feel
like
people
are
trying
to
outdo
you
in
the
gym.
I
can't
finish
most
of
the
WOD
(Workouts
Of
the
Day)
but
never
feel
like
I'm
lacking
because
everyone
in
class
encourage
me
to
do
the
best
that
I
can,
no
to
try
to
beat
everyone
else
in
class.
I've
been
doing
this
for
about
4
months
now
and
I'm
loving
it
and
now
going
3-4
times
a
week
now.
I'm
getting
strong
and
just
loving
the
community
I
workout
with.
If
you
are
thinking
about
trying
Crossfit
and
you
live
near
the
Pasadena
area,
I
highly
recommend
giving
them
a
try.
