“I started about 6 months ago. It took me almost a year to come check out the gym from a referral. I wish I would have came in a year ago! I came to CFN with about 5 years of working out at a globo gym and also trained for Spartan races. So naturally I thought that I would be able to do CrossFit, boy was I wrong. I started with Coach Web showing me the basic Oly lifts, she is very knowledgeable and patient with showing me all the positions and making sure that my form was correct, and she said I was ready to take classes. My next class was a Saturday class with coach Cyle and I remember stone to shoulder with a squat was programed in the WOD. I have never ever pulled a stone to my shoulder, and coach Cyle pulled me over and showed me exactly how to do it and made me confident in the movement. My next class was with coach Luke, he was very positive and encouraged me to do more than what I thought that I could do. One of my most recent classes was with coach John and he also kept me going in the WOD and made suggestions to how I can be more efficient. All of our coaches are amazing and have helped me through progressions and I have made so much progress in the last 6 months, doing things that I didn’t think I would be able to do, ever!! Now let’s talk about my amazing gym family. Everyone at CrossFit Natomas is very welcoming and friendly. I felt a part of the CFN family right away and I have made so many friends that all have the same mentality and passion for our sport! We have amazing athletes, amazing coaches, an amazing community and family! I would recommend CFN to anyone, and if you think that you can’t do CF, you are wrong. I thought the same thing and if I can do it you can too!! Come check us out and if you see me in the box come say Hi, I’m there a lot!!!”
