Change Begins at the End of Your Comfort Zone

"My wife and I tried crossfit to attempt to get into an exercise routine that we could sustain and that would fit into our busy schedule. We hadn't been able to stick with our old routines that we used in high school and college and I had trouble motivating myself for any longer than a few months. Crossfit was a great choice because all I had to do was show up. The workouts and coaches were very motivating and the other members were welcoming to new people, especially those new to crossfit. Something that I thought I would try out for a few months has now become something I need to get through my week. It has significantly improved my health and fitness and I feel like I've turned back the clock a few years. One of the unexpected benefits has been a new community that my wife and I were lacking. We have busy schedules and young children so it is easy to get wrapped up in our own lives. Crossfit Q has become a close-knit community for us that we really value. It has added a lot of meaning to our lives and it is something that we plan to continue to be a part of well into the future."

"I've struggled since High School to be physically active. I've joined many gyms over the years only to try it for a few weeks, or months, but it's never been something I enjoyed doing. My Son had been urging me to try Crossfit for Months, and after many, many months of persistence I finally gave in and told him I'd try it, fully expecting to try it for a week or two and go back to my inactivity. I signed up with Crossfit Q about 3 months before my 50th birthday. After the very first class, I KNEW I'd found my happy place. I just celebrated my 6th month last week and it's been the BEST thing I've ever done for myself. I can't say enough positive things about my trainers, and this little community that has taken me under their wing. In addition to losing over 30 lbs, I am gaining strength in muscles that had gone unused for SO many years. I truly feel like I'm anti aging. I'm sleeping better, I feel better, and my outlook on life is SO much happier! I truly am blessed to have found this wonderful place!"

"At the age of 34, I joined Crossfit Q and lost nearly 40 pounds in less than a year, have gained more energy, and am the strongest I've been in my entire life (high school included). I started going to Crossfit Q because I needed a change of pace and knew that what I was doing going to a traditional gym was not working. I jumped in with both feet and have not looked back since. Everyone from the beginning has been very encouraging and motivating. It's difficult to find this anywhere else; where you go to workout and others are there rooting for you to be the best version of yourself. I would say that joining Crossfit Q has been the best decision I've ever made for health."

My wife and daughter started attending classes at CrossFit Q last Summer. I started working with Halie as a nutrition coach in October. She encouraged me to start doing CrossFit. I was very hesitant because I had my own, albeit inadequate, workout routine. I was also concerned that I wouldn’t be able to perform some of the movements because I have limited hip mobility due to osteoarthritis. Nevertheless, I started in November and I’m really glad I did. Everyone has been extremely supportive and the coaches have been able to modify any movement I have difficulty with. Not only have I lost weight and gotten into much better shape, I’ve also benefited from being part of a great community of athletes. I recently had hip replacement surgery and I know that my CrossFit training helped me sail through the procedure and get right into rehabilitation. My only regret is that I didn’t find CrossFit Q sooner!

CrossFit Q has truly helped me change my life. I met with Mike (the owner) before I joined because I wanted to ask questions and we sat and talked and watched a workout. I expressed my worries about my health and he acknowledged the seriousness and explained how CrossFit could help me change things. I really didn’t think I would ever be able to do what the athletes on the floor were doing, but our conversation made me want to at least give it a try. Everything he said was true. The coaches make sure everyone is safe and getting a great workout. They are so dedicated to making sure everyone has what they need to be the healthiest versions of themselves (even right now in a crisis). The community is absolutely bad ass and so supportive of each other. Here I am, roughly 6 months later doing things I thought I couldn’t when I watched class that first time I visited. We’re all doing really tough things together. For me, a big takeaway has been: what else can I do that I thought that I couldn’t?”

Crossfit Q has taught me that I can attend any CrossFit class at age 73 and perform to my strengths and improve my weaknesses. Crossfit Q welcomes everyone who walks through their doors. Crossfit Q saved my life....I went off all my medications for HBP and reversed my A1C in a matter of months. Crossfit Q and their members were instrumental in helping fellow members through health crises. We support each other daily too by words of support, high fives, fist bumps. Crossfit Q feels like home. Crossfit Q encourages young children to seniors to eat healthy and provides many tools to accomplish your goal.”
