Exit 153 Crossfit

My sister joined Exit 153 Crossfit this summer, after trying various exercise routines, videos, and gyms without seeing improvement. Almost immediately, she would not stop raving about how much it was helping her feel physically and mentally, and how much improvement she saw day by day. Needless to say, I had to try it! I had doubts, but these immediately went away after the first five minutes.
I have been working out daily for the past few years (cardio, light gym machine weights, videos), but have never done heavy weight training or been an athlete. Exit 153 Crossfit immediately took away any doubts I had and I am thrilled to be a member. The coaches here really take the time to help each individual learn proper form and build up physical strength and the mental mindset. Coach/​owner Karen is extremely friendly, knowledgable, and passionate.
Not only has Exit 153 Crossfit benefitted my body and health, but I have made many friends. The sense of community here is just as important as the training, and that is noticed the first second walking into your first class. After that, every knows your name and cheers you on!

I began CrossFit by trying it alone, without a coach. After a couple of years I realized I wasn’t improving much and my fitness level was not where I wanted it to be. I was also nervous about joining a CrossFit gym because I always thought why am I going to pay over a hundred dollars a month when I can do the same thing for paying 30 dollars a month. After joining Exit 153 CrossFit I realized how closed minded and naïve I was being. This place is incredible. To start every time you walk In whether it is at 6 AM or 6:30 P. M. Karen (the owner) is there to welcome you with a huge smile on her face. I seriously do not know how she does it day in and day out. It is safe to say she has found her passion. Not only are you greeted by her but everyone is always happy to see you. You can be having the worst day were and that all changes when you walk into 153. Money is the last thing I worry about now because I realize that the price I pay is nothing compared to what I am receiving. Coach Ricky’s programming is unbelievable and people’s strength gains have sky rocketed. So many people come in and perform tasks they never would have thought to be possible and it is incredible to see. Nothing is better than seeing someone get their first muscle up or pull up or hit a new personal record on their squat, clean, or snatch. If you are looking to get in the best shape of your life while gaining support from a wonderful community, Exit 153 CrossFit is definitely the place for you.
