CrossFit Albemarle

I started CrossFit Albemarle 1 year ago and loved it. I knew I needed to make a change for myself. So 1 month in I started the nutrition program. I have always struggled with making time to get workouts in and kind of knowing what I should or shouldnt eat but not understanding that I didnt have to give up food that I loved. This has helped me so much meal prepping, not a program where you have to eat exactly from this chart and count macros. Now I know that I can stay on track with my goals if I have long work days or on vacation. I feel so much better, I feel healthier, Im stronger and sleep better. Joining CFA was good for my health!A bonus is this gym family, they are friendly and supportive. Everyone here is cheering for you, as you are becoming a better version of yourself. If youre saying I cant do those workouts like I did and held myself back for so long. Just know that You can. Do something for yourself, bc if you take care of yourself and feel better so will your family and everyone around you.

Back pain from arthritis followed by an injury brought me to Crossfit Albemarle. Never having stepped foot into a Crossfit gym before, I was intimidated. However, I should not have worried. In the Bonefit classes for 55+ ages, Kelly and Lauren made me feel comfortable and at ease with the workouts. Each move was skillfully demonstrated with modifications made for my for fitness level. Approximately, 9 months later, I visited my doctor for my yearly checkup. He was amazed at how much my good cholesterol had improved! About a year and a half later, my husband started attending classes with me. He was able within a year to stop taking blood pressure and diabetes meds! Dont get me wrong. Crossfit is not a magic pill. You have to show up and do the workouts and they are hard sometimes but you will be supported and cheered on by your coaches and Crossfit Community and you will feelLoved! Crossfit will change your life for the better so dont be afraid to give it a try!I also participated in the Healthy Steps Nutrition Challenge this past month. It has helped me become more aware of added sugars in food and eating by the plate method each day. Our Coach Lauren runs the Healthy Steps Nutrition and she is top-notch! They tell us at Crossfit that you cannot outworkout a bad diet. I have found this to be quite true during the challenge. Start with your food with Lauren and finish with a good workout each day.What are you waiting for?! Join Crossfit Albemarle today! Your mind and body will thank you.

Five years ago, I was in bad physical condition. I had medical issues that caused me to retire. However, my daughter encouraged me to join a CrossFit gym. I joined CrossFit Albermarle. In that gym I was introduced to HSN nutrition counseling. As a result of the combination of exercise and good nutrition my physical condition has improved greatly. I will be competing in the CrossFit open this month. Albermarle CrossFit and HSN nutritional counseling program played a huge roll in my recovery, and I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking to improve their physical health.Jeff C.
