CrossFit Impavidus was written up in the local Ashburn Patch this past week:

CrossFit Impavidus Shuns No Aspect of the Body
Ashburn gym trains athletes with focus on 10 areas of fitness.

Because of all the progress I have made since switching up my workouts and moving permanently to CrossFit Impavidus – I have not looked back. I do miss the group of ladies and hanging out with them every morning but as far as my overall training and workouts –nope, don’t miss the old way at all. And I am meeting some great new people as well — the thing about hanging out with fit minded people, they are all great!

Even today I was reminded how different this place is: the idea during a workout is to KEEP MOVING, even if that means you have to scale. At the old place, I would always bitch about how we were not allowed to scale – no way no how — because I would have to stop a lot because the weights were too heavy or I needed to catch my breath.

At CrossFit, you scale to help you keep moving so i have to completely reprogram how I think while working out– because it means giving in but I gotta tell you — I do feel better and I burn more calories. Today, during the 5 round workout, one of the stations was 30 box jumps – and by round 3 — I was spent so I would jump for 10, step up for 10, jump for 10 to get through it. Coach Nick kept saying chip away at the rounds — it’s a totally new approach for me and I like it better!

If you are thinking about trying CrossFit — there are affiliates all over the country. It’s not just about getting fit either, it’s about creating a community of fit minded people who support each other living a healthy life. Isn’t that what we all want – built in motivators?
