I walked into Synergy in June 2009 not being able to do one dead-hang pullup. AND then came the Olympic Weight Lifting moves. I watched in awe…then realized I was faced with something that really challenged me…scared me in fact. I stayed calm and carried on. I’m naturally one to push myself but at Snyergy I was supported by the coaches to go even further. The results came quickly; lifting more weight than I thought possible, increasing my very limited range of motion, mastering more skill, going from 0 to 9 dead-hang pullups and reaching less than 10% body fat. I couldn’t wait to get to the next workout. I have learned more about being “fit and healthy” in the last 2 years than the previous 20 of my life. Crossfit at Synergy has enriched my life in mental fortitude, strength, endurance, fearlessness, nutrition and friendship. With the incredible skill and knowledge in programming of the Synergy coaching staff, I qualified to compete in the Crossfit Games in Carson CA in 2011. It is a testament to our coaching staff that we achieved a 2nd place finish in the Crossfit world arena. My Crossfit tip – Be consistent, give a 110% effort and take it one WOD at time!!
