Why did you choose All Kine CrossFit? Why do you keep coming back?
I started CrossFit in 2008. I injured myself in 2013 and had to stop. The Level Method that I was introduced to at AllKine really made sense to me. I was a bit apprehensive, but Mark and Joanna gave me the confidence I needed to get back into WOD mode.
I felt welcomed within the AllKine community. I met an amazing group of humans and athletes. I don’t feel like I have to perform or be a competitor to feel like I belong.
What’s your best story about AKCF?
Besides the fact that I’m 57 y.o. ?
I came in to AllKine after 5 years of complete inactivity due to multiple injuries and a huge weight gain.
Within three months of training 3 times a week, I changed my eating habits, lost 23 lbs of my extra 50 lbs and felt strong again. I went from White Level to Orange/Blue.
On a human level, I believe I have made friends for life. I love our group of amazing women, their uniqueness and huge hearts.
What advice would you give the person you were a year ago?
There is life after injury. There is a way to stay in shape at a level that is suited for my age, physical form and needs. Don’t be afraid. It is possible.
Mahalo AllKine CrossFit. You are bringing me back into shape and I’m loving every minute.
