I walked into CrossFit Barbending on Sunday Oct 6th 2013, and participated in the boot camp class. After the workout I was wiped out, and had trouble navigating the 3 flights of stairs to my apartment. I knew I needed to make a change. I joined CFBB as a full-time member that November, and never looked back. When I started this journey I weighed around 240lbs, I now weigh in at 178lbs. With a foundation of nutrition, metabolic conditioning, gymnastics, weight lifting and sport, CrossFit Barbending helped me establish the habits needed to control my weight, and improve my well-being all around. My love for CrossFit and its benefits prompted me to obtain my CFL1 cert in October 2017. Now I get to give back to the community and enjoy helping others with their journey to getting fit and improving their health.
