Growing up an athlete, I thought that having fun with athletics ended after high school/college, and I took a few years off from any kind of consistent exercise. Eventually, I wanted to get back in shape, but I struggled with motivation. It felt like working out as an adult was a chore that you had to grind through to stay healthy. It was lonely and truly felt like a chore. I tried a Crossfit workout while traveling and was instantly intrigued and mystified, and I loved it. I spent the next few months trying different WODS on my own at the gym because I was still hesitant to make the financial commitment to join an affiliate. I checked out a couple of different Crossfit s in the area online and just had a gut feeling that 13 Stripes was the one I should join.

13 Stripes has shown me that being an adult athlete is possible... for anyone! Working out DOES NOT HAVE TO BE A CHORE! It can be fun, challenging, and inspiring. Fitness has once again become part of my lifestyle, not a necessarily evil to stay in shape. I thought that my fitness level peaked in high school and ever trying to regain that was a lost cause. I am now the strongest I have ever been and having fun while doing it.

In addition, I have made new friends, no, new BEST friends that are a part of the wonderful community. My only regret about joining 13 Stripes is that I didn t join sooner
