I joined XLR8 to change my life for a healthier lifestyle and knew the CrossFit route would be the best way to do so. Prior to XLR8, my health was rather stagnant and my eating habits were not the best. It’s funny what cutting all the junk food out of your life will do for […]

My crossfit journey began 13 months ago. I was tipping the scale at 235 pounds and six weeks postpartum. The night before my initial visit to XLR8 I had my husband take before pictures of me. I can remember not wanting to look at the camera. I couldn’t wait for that photo session to be

My wife (Kelly) introduced me to crossfit and I must say I was skeptical to say the least. I wasn’t sure what to expect because I had been doing the same boring gym routine for a while. I quickly found out that I hadn’t even scratched the surface of my fitness! Going to the gym

“I started CrossFit back in June with the intentions of getting stronger and better my training as an MMA fighter. Little did I know I would hang up my gloves to transition into a crossfitter for good. I have been blessed with amazing coaches that inspire, motivate and truly believe in me. They care to

On May 14th after a few “false starts,” I joined Crossfit XLR8. The reason I false started a few times is because I had some preconceived notions of what Crossfit was like that were completely inaccurate. I was terribly intimidated to start even though I have been an athlete all my life. Two of my
