Saddle Up CrossFit
2024-05-14T13:24:49.781Z
Due to my business, I sit a lot, either in front of a computer or in the van. I saw my mother fall to pieces and die. I am now seeing my husband's parents slowly fade away. I knew I needed to do something to change all this. A chance meeting with Blayne, who I did not know at the time was a coach, inspired me to try this gym. He assured me that CrossFit is NOT scary! That is what I have always been told, for a person who has been sedentary for too long. I also met a couple of attendees who assured me that I should go. I admit it is hard, to walk into a gym, not really knowing anyone, overweight and in truly awful physical shape. (I can do sit-ups now because Blayne told me how!) But Blayne was there, to coach that hour. Others approached and welcomed me. I also met one of the gym owners, Jason. He was so kind and helpful and made sure I was able to do the exercises, even though they were modified for me due to past shoulder and knee surgeries and my sedentary life. Going to this gym is the "best hour of the day" now. I still don't understand all the exercises and still need modifications, but that is ok! Elite athletes will gladly advise you, and you don't even know that they are elite! Everyone is so welcoming and supportive, and I am so grateful for the chance meeting of Blayne. Blayne and Lynsie are my two coaches. You two rock and are my inspiration to a new and better me. Thank you so much for your patience and help. Many thanks to my various partners in the classes, who encourage me so well. Jason and Jill, thank you as well, you have been so kind. I am where I need to be and look forward to this new adventure of health and fitness. BIG PLUS, my back is starting to NOT HURT, and I am sleeping better, just in a few weeks! If you want to feel better ("move it or lose it"), you should try this gym. I will try to be one of the first to welcome you!Valerie
