How did you hear about CF?
I initially heard about CF from a friend of ours. And than my husband, Steve started going and I heard about it “every” day “multiple” times for several months.J

How has CF changed your life?
I think Jessica DePhillips put it nicely this past week “a couple that works out together stays together”. Earlier in our relationship Steve and I worked out together all of the time, it was the one thing that kept us truly connected. Prior to Crossfit we kind of got into doing our own thing; Me – Kosama and Aspen Body Pump (6:00 a.m. & 5:30 p.m.) | Steve – P90X (8:00 p.m. at night). Timing was obviously an issue, Steve didn’t want to work out early and I wasn’t digging the working out at 8:00 p.m. at night. So, when I started Crossfit, I said the only way I’ll do it is if we both go in the morning. We thought we’d give it a whirl (thinking it would be impossible to change our ways)…and wa la (voila) – You have 2 regulars at the 5:30 a.m. class. We LOVE it! As a result of the Crossfit community we’re also eating a lot cleaner.
