Get well soon Marcel. I had laparoscopic gall bladder surgery and was up and about(and off the pain meds) after just a few days. Having done Crossfit training will no doubt help you to a speedy recovery!
Amanda
Get well soon Marcel!
I don’t know how likely the odds are, but if two 4:15 classes come available, Cheyenne & I would take them.
Shallon
Kevin,Please cancel my 5:30 for today.Thanks!!
Kevin
Check your email regarding the lobster!
Jamie
Hope you get to go home today Marcel, you will feel much better at home.
Gabrielle
I train where my friends and I get nervous before a workout. We know it’s going to be hard and we want it to be hard. We take the challenge face on and give it all we’ve got.
I train where the people who workout next to me inspire me to work harder. Being with them is the highlight of my day and it gives me an extra boost in everyone of my steps.
I love Crossfit Moncton ๐
Can’t wait to see what challenge awaits us today!
sonya
This is really nice Gabrielle!!
Gabrielle
I really do love you guys ๐
Amanda
I can’t articulate why I train with CrossFit, though I agree with everyone else’s reasons. I just know that I wouldn’t go anywhere else.
Cheyenne
Hi Kevin, I just booked a 530 for tonight, could you please cancel my 630. Thanks.
Marcel
Hello all and thanks for all the well wishes. I’m finally back home today ๐ I’m sure that my Crossfit training will definitely help me to a speedy recovery. Must say that being unable to check the site everyday has probably sucked the most. Hope to see you all again soon and please someone try and get a timely “That’s what she said…” whenever possible in my absence. Oh and thanks for the great picture Kevin.
Guy
I assume you are under the care of nurse Heidi. This could be fun. A little role play you know. ๐

Gabrielle :We know itโs going to be hard and we want it to be hard. We take the challenge face on and give it all weโve got.”>

That’s for you Marcel. Get well soon! ๐

LMAO you guys crack me up!
Guy
Good one!

“I train because I can”
Short end of long story, 2 years ago I broke my leg and ankle, 28 days hospitalized, 2 surgeries, 3 months no weight bearing and wheelchair confined.
After starting to walk I had a needed jaw surgery in Halfax,(broken in four places), now on crutches with my mouth wired shut I vowed to NEVER take my able body for granted again.
That was two years ago. I vowed but never came through on the promise because of fear. I only started Crossfit in May and I still have fear (especially now that the dammit WOD’s aren’t posted) I shake EVERY time I enter that building and shake when I’m leaving (check out my shaky numbers on the leader boards ๐ )
But I am learning that no matter what my fitness level, my size, my fear, I am able bodied and “I Train because I Can”
MC
This is nice Cheyenne! You’ve been working really hard! Keep up the good work!!
Gabrielle
How could anyone not be inspired by that!! Thank you for sharing Cheyenne ๐ you are awesome!
Kevin
Your shaky numbers are evidence that you gave it your all! LOVE IT!
Patrick
wow I had no idea you went through that! I’m so glad you didn’t quit.
Liam
Really glad to have you with us Cheyenne!
Congrats!
Chantal F
Gabrielle, loved your post. And I miss you!!! Getting in lots of early morning workouts lately.
Cheyenne, I don’t think we’ve met but that was very inspiring!!! you go girl!!!
Gabrielle
Hey Chantal! Just thinking about you today – miss you too ๐ Hopefully we’ll catch up over the next few weeks – I may join you at a morning class or two ๐
Mel
I train in a group, not ignored in a gym. If my friends see me struggling, they yell at me to push harder. When I get a PR, they cheer with me; and when I think I’ve failed they kick me in the @$$ for my negative thinking.
Patrick
awesome ๐
Gabrielle
I like it a lot!
Joanna
I train where….
Failing isn’t an option, only a path to future success.
The people around me constantly inspire me to do better and be better, I love ya’ll.
I know I will always be welcomed, encouraged and never judged.
I train because….
I love the challenge each day brings.
I don’t want to be the “average”, I want to be what the “average” wishes they were (and could be if they read things like Cheyenne wrote)
I want to be as fit as I can possibly be and hopefully inspire others to do the same.
I have found something I’m passionate about..I love this shit!
Great post Joanna and congrats on the push jerk PR ๐
Kevin
Yay girlfriend!!
Heather (Mum)
I train becausse Kevin told me I would not be able to lift my grandchildren if I didn’t train. That was my motivation. Now that I am addicted the support at the gym and my passion for Crossfit keeps me going. Now that I am unable to work out, I miss it terribly. I know that I will be back to meet more challenges. Great posts from awesome people. Cheyenne, you are truly amazing. Never give up. If you could go through those surgeries, you can and will meet the challenge of Crossfit over and over again. I miss you guys so much.
Gabrielle
Heather, you are greatly missed – I send positive vibes your way everyday hoping you’ll be better enough to train with us again soon – xo ๐
Built for this one, should have been faster…next time. ๐

I have been thinking about why I train all day. If you had asked me why I train back in march my answer would have been to lose weight, wear smaller pants and to see my toes.
Now, I train for the challenge. It is no longer about wanting to look a certain way it is about feeling a certain way. I enjoy working getting a pr and struggling to learn a new skill that was inconceivable a week before.
I train for the Crossfitter I know I can be. I used to hate it when people would cheer me on when I was finishing last, I thought it was out of pity. It took a while for me to realize that they were cheering on my inner crossfitter.
I started to train by myself, now I train with Friends. Only someone who does crossfit knows what someone who does crossfit goes through. I enjoy hearing and seeing my peeps do well. It is like a family.
I train for me. It is my me time. 1 hour a day dedicated to all things Tracy. Sure I complain and tell Kevin…and Gabrielle that I hate them. I don’t hate them, I hate to disappoint them.
Those are some of the reasons whey I train…I sure wish that running wasn’t part of the training though…just sayin’…
Gabrielle
You got me choked up on this one… You never, ever, dissappoint and you’re one of the many reasons I look forward to Crossfit everyday – You ROCK Tracy xo ๐
Kevin
You’re post got me thinking… I usually ask people (or they tell me) during Fundamentals what their goals are. I hear the usual “lose weight, get strong, tone up, be healthy” answers. And I know that those goals will either be forgotten down the road, or replaced with something else or more specific. Do I want to get stronger? Sure. But my goal is to increase my overhead squat. New members certainly wouldn’t have that as a goal when they first walk in.
So after I ask them the question, I smile and nod politely. Because I know, like Tracy, that the goals will be different in a short while.
sonya
Good job Tracy. You have motivation and heart. It is a pleasure to sweat beside you. lol

Nice PR coach K!
Darrell
Thanks Kevin I was really pleased that I beat your time. In fact I am still smiling right now.
Liam
I train because I’m a competitive person.
I train because I LOVE food. Even though my eating habits have changed a LOT(for the better) over the last 8 months, I want to have a body that can burn it, not store it.
I train for my future. I’m a big believer in pre-emptive health care.
I train because, besides the pain, I love how it makes me feel.
I train at crossfit for 3 major reasons:
1. The people
2. The community
3. My crossfit brothers and sisters
Yeah I know they’re all the same thing, shut up! I Train at Crossfit Moncton because of YOU! and the dog. *hehe*
Cheers!
Gabrielle
cool post Liam ๐ Looking forward to catching up with you at some point to hear about your latest adventures.
Kevin
You want some puppy love? You’ll have to fight Guy for her.
Kevin
I love reading all of your reasons! It’s very motivating.
For me, I have only one.
I don’t train to be THE best. I train to be MY best.
I’ve been CrossFitting for 3.5 years, and I’m still nailing PR’s. I may be hitting the big 3-0 next year, but I show no signs of slowing down.
Why?
As Liam said, it’s because of you. Every person that cheers me on, says good job or gives me a “CrossFit High-Five”…you’ve helped. So thanks for the push. Keep pushing me, and I’ll keep pushing you.
Liam
Well I hate to break it to you,
But you are The Best Coach! You’ve put together The Best gym and the LAST gym I’ll ever go to.
Cheers to you Kev!
Oh…. and Guy and I can share Carly. My mom taught me how to share… or was that the singer? hmmmmmmm….

WOD as rx’d @135 — 5:19 min

I train where even after almost 2 years there, I’m still looking forward for the workout!
That means a lot!!

Warm up times 3 (deadlifts instead of pullups)
Strength Back squat 1s (substituted for what was supposed to be push press because my left shoulder hurts too much)

WOD Bang you’re dead
10-8-6-4-2 Shoot throughs and 125# deadlifts – So wish I could have tried this one! Substituted shoot throughs with V-snaps and supermans because of my shoulder. Finished in 7:09 and felt dissappointed because I feel like I should have done more. The deadlifts were hard (not sure how great my form was) but I think I could’ve handled much more than the V-snaps and the supermans… Tomorrow, I guess.
Heidi
When people ask me about where I work out, I tell them I train a little hole in the wall gym that doesn’t have all the fancy tread mills, spinning classes, and 50 channels on TV. I’ve tried that in the past and I never stuck with it. Yawn! Instead, I train in a little hole in the wall gym that relies on good old fashioned weight equipment,hard work, and fun. Most importantly, it offers motivation, support, and inspiration from a coach and fellow cross fitter’s that push you to your limits, where there is always friendly competition, and you actually know everyone’s name. I train where when I leave the gym, I know I’ve been at the gym and that my one hour really counted.

I train at crossfit because when you think you are in shape it will drop you to your knees.
Marcel
I train at Crossfit because it works! I love talking to people about Crossfit and what it has done for me. Everyone’s comments are so true – the workouts are painful, the coaching is awesome, the people are supportive and it’s great fun. Thanks Kevin Crossfit is the BOMB!
I train at crossfit moncton because there is no other place like it… I’ve been to almost every gym in Moncton, and there’s no way any of them can beat what we have at CF Moncton… The people, the support, the motivation, the goal setting, the coaching and the list goes on and on!
sonya
Not sure if this will be seen being a day late. Miss you guys and I will be back on my feet and back to the work outs soon. I started training because of two clients that would always talk about CrossFit. I think the number one thing that makes you go is having to sign up for a day and class. Definitly the number two thing would be the whole feeling. The positive energy from the Crossfit Family and the Coach. Just getting the “good job” or a “high five” or “Just One More” makes all the hard work worth it. Everyone needs encouragement and CrossFit Moncton is full of it. Crazy, funny, motivated people that come together to be scared walking in those doors and PROUD when you take that huge step down, out those doors after the WOD. When you say good job and see you guys tomorrow…is the best feeling that you can NEVER get at the “Y”!! lol
Gabrielle
Saw it Sonya and loved every bit of it ๐ I agree!
Bring a Friend Day tomorrow! Yes, the WOD is first, followed by the strength. 21-15-9 Russian KBS Box Jumps Pullups HR Deadlifts x5 50-55-60-65-70% *full…
