Here's some of the reasons why I love Foothills CrossFit. Actually, I love the PEOPLE at Foothills CrossFit. I love who they are, I love what they are doing and I love how CrossFit is enabling them to do it better. John signs up for the Sectionals. He never even played sports in school. He has never done any form of competition before. He has become so strong mentally and physically that he is able to take this challenge on without thinking twice about it. Well....... maybe he thought at least once about it. Bess signed up for the Steamboat Marathon. She's never done a marathon before. And she is training CrossFit Endurance style, for 5 weeks, to see how she performs. Last weekend she "dropped a knee" (as she called it - it must be a telemark skiing term) for 6 hours straight after not skiing for most of the winter. Peter is back on his road bike after back surgery sidelined him for months. He rode for hours this weekend and it was pure joy, and effortless. He has turned his son on to CrossFit so that they can climb Denali next summer. Kay is a road bike racer for a team in Golden. She said her last training ride up Lookout Mt. seemed easy. Who says that?! She is doing CrossFit to increase her endurance and power. It appears to be working. Lida is off to Moab to do a half marathon. Oh, and this is in between snowshoeing, biking, swimming, skiing and training for an Ironman. Tony comes in today with a bumper plate stand that he welded himself. He took it upon himself to make it so that we would no longer have to stuff the bumper plates in a wooden crate. That is so cool. And generous. Eric came to us because the generic box gyms have left him bored, depressed and dissolutioned. Where is the passion he once had? Well, he found it again. Here, and with CrossFit. So he brings along his girlfriend and his Mom and now we are working on his Mom's fiance and best friend..............:) This is what CrossFit is all about. And this is just a taste of what the people at Foothills CrossFit are all about. LOVE IT !!!!!!!!
