I am going to update my review with my progress thus far. Do keep in mind that I have been attending CrossFit at this Box for exactly 3 months and workout only 3x a week here. To have progressed as quickly as I did is pretty fantastic.\n\nLeft side is the weight I began at; right side is the weight that I can handle now. 1RM meaning 1 Rep Max.\n\nDeadlift 95 lbs 1RM / 165 lbs 1 RM - WOW\nBench Press 55 lbs 1RM / 95 lbs 3RM\nClean & Jerk 55 lbs 1RM / 95 lbs 1RM\nSplit Jerk 80 lbs 1RM / 105 lbs 1RM\nBack Squat 95 lbs 1RM / 135 lbs 1RM\n\nBefore we start our workout, we always take one 200m lap around the building whether rain or shine. If you know me then you know that I am definitely not a runner.. I actually hate it with a burning passion. I used to always be the last one in the door and already be winded. Now, I am usually the first one in the door or Top 5. \n\nI love CrossFit because although it can make you feel like a beast, it also humbles you. I could be gifted with Deadlifts, but I need more work on being able to throw up heavier weight on my Front Squats. I love the environment that we are in. I know that during timed workouts, and I feel like I could not possibly do one more rep, there is ALWAYS someone there telling me \"You can do it! Pick up that bar! Just one more Kat!\"\n\nAgain, Royce and Chris are AMAZING coaches! \n\nOne of the best sessions I had with Chris was when we were working on finding our max for the Split Jerk. The motion can be described as \"The barbell is driven from shoulders to arms length overhead. The lift is complete when feet are in line and bar is under control.\" I had assumed that I would only be able to throw 60 lbs over my head.. MAX. Chris was very motivating and kept joking that I needed help adding weights so he threw my 20 lb plates onto the ground and slapped on some 35 lb plates. And.. I did it! He talked me through the whole thing and now I know that I can put at least 100 lbs over my head. Thanks Chris!\n\nIt is nice to see your coaches doing the workouts with you and always trying to better themselves as athletes instead of standing there and telling you what to do. \n\nYour first time is free, class only takes up an hour of your time, and workouts can be modified to your fitness level. So what do you have to lose? Try it out for yourself.
