I am a 38 year old happily married working mom who has had a passion for fitness for most of my life. My Crossfit Story is that I’ve probably totally worn out my friends and family talking about Crossfit! I’ve been so excited about it the past few months and have experienced such great results that I can’t stop telling everyone about it.

In the gym again, same old stuff. "Hey, what are those guys doing? Those guys are working out like CRAZY!" That was my first experience to CrossFit.
I have been working out for many years and never have seen people working out quite like that before. In my line of work I work with Shaun and he came up to me and said he was going to open a CrossFit gym and I should check it out. So I did and here I am!

"It's called what? CrossFit? Ok, and it's where? The track at the high school on Saturday. I will be there!" The following Thursday, "Oh, sorry I missed out on Saturday, it was pouring down rain and storming so I figured you didn't have it."
"Oh, we have CrossFit, rain or shine, we were there, I'm sorry you missed it. it was a good time!", one of the instructors informed me. From that moment on I knew that this CrossFit thing was serious business!

“Good morning, afternoon, evening, or otherwise, this is Ben Montgomery's voice mail. Please leave a message.” Beep. “Hey b****, show up to CrossFit tonight.” Wow. This sounds like something I want to do! Yeah, all that explanation of what “Cross Fit” is totally going to get me to go! Ok, I will then.

I am 49 years old and have always been a member of some gym. My passion was not in the gym itself but the classes they offered on the side. I love aerobics, step aerobics, pilates and most recently Zumba, where I met Tony Chapa. Tony blew in from the windy city introduced his Cardio Combat and talked about his “Boot Camp” he had going on at the Lawrenceburg High School track with his co-owner Shaun.

I began CrossFit in April, 2009. CrossFit OTR and I have both come a long way since then. I had a gym membership, but was not motivated or dedicated enough to actually work out there. I needed a coach. Sarah “Smiles” Schmaltz, being the great friend that she is, recruited me and ever since I barely - physically and mentally - survived my first few sessions, I was addicted.

Jaclyn S. aka 'J-Lo'
I've been a member of CrossFit since September and I wish I would have joined sooner. Tony and Shaun would always invite me to come and try it out, but I was scared. From a distance it's incredibly intimidating and I didn't want to embarrass myself by not being able to do the work out, but after Tony's combat class I got the nerve up and decided to stay after to try it out.

Keli and I have only been "CrossFitting" for seven weeks, but we believe in the program. We are both near 40 years old(one older, one almost) and we thought we were active. I wrestled in high school, lifted vigorously in college, and basically lazy since two years ago. I started running 20-25 miles a week and we ran two Flying Pig 10k's.

I’m going to preface this by saying I am the epitome of a skeptic. That’s the reason I buy so many “As Seen On TV” products – have to see if the claims are true. In my nature, I felt the same way about CrossFit.
