WELCOME TO THE CRAZY CLUB! I've found the BEST way to get involved is to show up even when you're so sore you feel like getting out of bed is work. In my experience a coach can do more for you if you show up sore than if you stay home and rest (3x a week is a great starting place!) also foam roll foam roll foam roll and if…

Hey! Im in a similar situation. I was a happy size 8/10 and during the stress of undergrad school combined with working in a restaurant I gained a lot of weight and am wearing a size 18. I crossfit 5 or 6 days a week (serious emphasis on lifting and endurance workouts) and have been getting stronger in my workouts over the…

Mallory 24 Roanoke I found my second home at a box called Brickhouse Crossfit. I currently go to "Crossfit" Monday-Friday. I try to get in 2 Oly Lifting classes Mobility, and a Gymnastics class in addition to the M-F AMWODs. I also do EWODs every Sunday. I've been doing Crossfit for 3 months (I'm at the very beginning of…

I have some of the BEST coaches possible who have given me a SOLID foundation for my lifts (my first WOD ever was thrusters and burpee box jumps...I learned the hard ones early on). I'm also blessed to come from a yogi background so mobility has come fairly easy. My gymnastics and endurance have a LONG way to go but I fell…

You will find yourself surrounded by a community of athletes who will motivate you to do things you never would have seen yourself doing before. As far as bulking up goes there are women in my box who have…

So many awesome responses! I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who loves it enough to be frustrated about rest days. I 100% am excited about how much progress I am seeing at 3 days a week and so I'm hopeful I can add another day soon! Or maybe the O-lifting specialty class we offer a few times a week. Yoga 100% helps with…

This week has been crazy for bruises/scrapes for me. Rope climbs Monday (guess who forgot we were doing rope climbs and wore shorts and no tall socks...) cleans yesterday and deadlifts are tomorrow. I love my bruises though. They remind me just how hard I went that morning/week

My box posts the weekly programming every Sunday night. I honestly get excited about being able to look and see what the week has in store. Also it really does help to be able to choose clothing according to the workout. Longer shirts on squat days are a must for me! I also really like the specific excuse of "I have to do…
