For me personally I am a person that needs to be told what to do. I lack motivation. I’ve done gym memberships and paid the extra $ for a personal trainer. I soon realised I was throwing money away. Who out there has had a gym membership and never used it? I had a friend try it out and he told me to give it a go. I have never looked back. I have a lot of equipment at home and I get asked why I don’t just do the workouts at home, and pay nothing? Trust me, when you step into a box, you have all the motivation you need. It becomes a drug
When I first walked into CFOXYGN the environment was so much better than a regular gym. You don’t have to que up for a particular piece of equipment and you don’t feel intimidated. The music wasn’t deafening like those other high intensity places, and I was greeted by coach Holly , who makes you feel so welcome straight off the bat. I attended an open day to try it out and I signed up immediately after! Couldn’t wait!
Over time and getting to know other members who are just like you, reinforces the decision to give it a go. You soon realise it’s not just a place you work out, it’s a place where people come together and help each other achieve things they could never do by themselves. I can only manage a 3 day membership because of family commitments and I would kill to be there full time.
I turned 40 last year and I had acquired a few extra kilos. I was diagnosed with arthritis a few years ago and I really struggled to do any exercise. I found the right medication and found CFOXYGN. Bright spots are a weekly reflection of achievements that was new to me. My bright spot was returning to training pain free! And dropping 5kgs in a very short time. I was just so happy I could move without the pain. I have CFOXYGN and its members to thank for helping me.
I have a big goal to back squat 100kg and bench press 100kg. That magical 100 number! I’ve never felt stronger and I’ve never been this fit before. I’m also turning my attention to my kids. My kids are showing an interest and want to join in. It was only yesterday they turned down McDonalds an opted for sushi! I was gobsmacked! One thing CrossFit does is it really brings people together. And Im starting to see this away from the gym. Big thanks to the CFOXYGN team and members
I’m a tradie on the tools everyday. One year ago I was in so much pain I couldn’t work. I was stressed out and depressed. 3 kids with a mortgage really got me in a dark place. If I could reassure myself a year ago and tell myself with a bit of luck, hard work and stying positive I’ll be ok. And I’m super happy right now
