On July 1^st 2010 my life changed. After being diagnosed with high blood pressure and the prospect of spending my life on the rocky road of daily medication, I decided the more holistic approach – I joined a gym and got back into exercising. This wasn’t just any gym, it was BTB Crossfit. Within 2 months I’d lost 25lbs, all my suits needed to be re-tailored to fit the new streamline Steve and my next trip to the Dr. her words were “WOW! Whatever you did keep doing it”

Shamefully, I couldn’t do a single pull up. This morning, I did 105 as part of the WOD (workout of the day) My deadlift went from 155lb to 335lb..I can run a 5k in 20mins and I’m able to do things that when I first walked into the gym scared me. I’m now officially a full paid up member of the Crossfit Nation and can’t see myself ever working out any other way! With these results, why would I?
