QOD: yes. I started crossfit thinking I would never care how much I lifted. I was looking for general fitness (and an excuse to eat more lol). Now, my general goals are mostly to lift heavier, be able to do pullups, ring dips, HSPU, etc, and run faster. Yes, I want it all π
This was a fun WOD! First 2 rounds unbroken, then T2B were broken after the first 5. First time using a 50#KB! I’ve been struggling with this forever it seems, just a mental block..thanks for the push Amanda!
QOD: Absolutely! I first joined honestly to look better and get in better shape after having my second son. Wow how things have changed! Becoming a coach has been huge and life changing! And now it’s about goals, getting better and stronger at the gym.
Till next time, Cory and Christine! Fun meeting/WODing with you! π
QOD: Oh god yes. I started Crossfit at 22… just looking to get fit. And lose weight, because I’ve been told all my life I need to lose weight. It’s almost second nature to me. Like drinking water … yeah yeah yeah I gotta lose weight (nagging voice in my head).
About 18 weeks ago, I said F you weightloss goal. I need another goal. Because clearly my life long goal of losing weight is not getting any closer LOL! So I decided I wanted to climb a mountain π I made sure to eat well and come to the gym to get ready for the mountain. And then magic happened π
So, after 5.5. years of crossfitting, I found a way to keep me motivated, focused and happy. On to the next goal …10k run, Dobson trail..pullups!!! (yikes) Life’s good π
Squeezed the workout in between classes. Thanks for sticking around Brian.

Amanda
QOD: Yes! My goals change all the time. My current focus is to be youthful, happy, healthy, and strong. No specific gym-related goal except to make sure I’m still having fun at it. I know, I need some goals. I’ll set a couple in September. π
Sad to miss this one today! Going to enjoy being away and doing some active recovery though.
It was great meeting Cory and Christine, lots of fun working out with you guys…so glad you chose CFM during your stay!!!
QOD: yes! It’s been just over a year since I found CFM and I literally cannot imagine life without you guys. Originally my goal was just to get back into a gym routine, feel better about myself and hopefully make some friends. All of that (and SO much more) has happened!! But once the open season came, all of my goals changed and I started focusing on getting better at certain movements like T2B, DUs and pullups…having something like the open was great motivation. Then at some point during/after the open, I fell in love with lifting heavy and completely caught the competition bug. I think my favorite thing in the world right now is hitting a heavy clean. Now in the spirit of keeping myself accountable, here are my current goals:
Rx HSPU in a wod (and re do 15.4 with a big PR since I only had 2 reps in the open)
Unassisted dips (need SO much work)
225# 1RM back squat (Matt has this goal too, might have to get there first )
Do the oly comp Kevin speaks of in the fall

Knowing that every day when I wake up, I am fit for anything and I can just get up and go without effort or worry, whether it is a race, a hike, a long day at work or just playing outside. That’s why I love this place, because it does that naturally for everyone. Besides that, my initial goal when I joined last fall was to get stronger, now my goal is to improve my anaerobic conditioning. I love the feeling of going through rounds with max speed and power and maintaining that tempo throughout. But most of the time I start to slow down or rest earlier than I would want to because I am out of breath, not because I donβt have the strength.

Qod: when I started my goals were somewhat vain, I wanted a six pack!!! But I also wanted to be healthy enough to play and have fun with my kids for a long time!!
I do have a few different goals now, I want to improve my mobility and strengthen my weaknesses. One big goal I would like to achieve is make it to regionals as a Masters athlete. Once I get over some current issues, I can start training a little harder towards that goal!
Another goal that I am currently working on is getting approval from Kevin to start coaching, I never imagined how much I would love coaching. Something I have come to love and brightens my day every time, is when I am able to help someone achieve something they have been working hard for.. Best feeling ever!!

crossfit was very difficult when i started and i see now that its always gonna be but I want to love it , like really , really love it. I was excited the first time i finished a WOD within the time cap. Today I was super excited that doing knee pull up thingy s was easier than the first time considering i couldnt even lift my body off the floor. I have done alot of things in my life but being athletic was never 1 of them …..so i guess i want to be athletic …there thats my goal o and i want to live to be 120 π
My goals are definitely different than day one. Day 1: don’t die, try to pretend you have an athletic bone in your body, and learn how to do that clean thing properly.
Now: keep my eating in check, get a pull up, get those damn T2B and attend as many classes as my body will let me π

Although I have had some issues with my heel, I chose to do the running.. Poor Paige struggles with running!
Qod: Our goals have definitely changed over time.. I started because I was getting bored doing another exercise program, and I needed a challenge and to learn something new.. Now since my accident I have been trying to regain strength, and learning to do movements properly(not just do them to get them done!)
Paige’s goals have gone from trying to keep up with me, to working towards getting that Rx beside her name on the board for a wod(any wod really!)

Today Paige and I joined the 8:30 class..
Strength:
Floor Press 7X3reps @75%
Although Paige is stronger than I am we compromised at 55#
Wod: 4rds
10 KBS (we both used 35#, next time I use 45#!)
10 T2B(we both hung from the bar and lifted our as high as possible )
200m run
Rest 30 sec
Paige- 12:13
Mel- 9:40
Although I have had some issues with my heel, I chose to do the running.. Poor Paige struggles with running!
Qod: Our goals have definitely changed over time.. I started because I was getting bored doing another exercise program, and I needed a challenge and to learn something new.. Now since my accident I have been trying to regain strength, and learning to do movements properly(not just do them to get them done!)
Paige’s goals have gone from trying to keep up with me, to working towards getting that Rx beside her name on the board for a wod(any wod really!)
