How long have you been working out at Groundworx?  3 1/2 years

Reason for joining Groundworx?  I was curious about CrossFit so did some research and really liked the philosophy and approach.  I dropped by Groundworx one day for info and watched the class doing some heavy lifting.  Suddenly everything went silent for a moment as everyone focused on one member struggling to complete a lift.  The atmosphere was electric.  A chorus of encouragement erupted:  "you got it, up, up, up!", and then cheers and high-fives broke out as that person successfully finished the lift.  And I thought, "I'm in."

Favourite lift / WOD:  Snatch / Isabel

My advice for others looking to join Groundworx?  Just do it!  My only regret is that I didn't start doing CrossFit earlier.  I had the mistaken belief that I had to be in shape first before starting CrossFit, but that is just not true.  The great thing about CrossFit is that it is designed to scale to everyone's individual level.  The coaches and owners at Groundworx are amazing and truly care about their members.  It has truly been transformational for my fitness - I'm 39 years old and I'm stronger and fitter now than I was in my 20s.
