Meet Sandi....a loving, dedicated mother to two handsome boys, a wife, and a CrossFitting bad ass!!! I have known Sandi for about 4 years now, and have never seen her THIS happy and in charge of her health and fitness. Once she tried the January CFRR Free For All, it didn't take long for her to dive in head first. She now attends my M/W/F 5:15pm Ladies Only program, and let me tell you...she is a force to be reckoned with!!! Here, in her own words, she talks about her journey, and how she embraced the CrossFit lifestyle:
"I started classes twice a week in February and know in my heart that I will never quit CrossFit. I do WOD's on my days away from CFRR because I love it...it makes me feel so good to not even want to find excuses to not work out. I mean really - I can do a workout in 15 to 20 minutes - sometimes less! There is NO excuse!!! Thanks to the CFRR family, I hear coach's & friend's voices encouraging me even when I'm not at the box!
I have lost a total of 4.6 lbs, 5.51% body fat and 7.5 inches!
I have honestly never felt as strong as I do now. Strong - physically...I flex in front of the mirror - I can SEE muscles, I can pick up my sons with no problem - no more back pain (thanks to my now stronger core), I can do push ups on my toes - many of them! I ran a 5k in July in record time for me - 32:10...I love it! I constantly want to push myself in ways I didn't know I could. I'm even training for my first CrossFit competition, Fight Gone Bad 6, and couldn't be more excited!!!
Strong - mentally - I have THE most confidence in myself and my abilities to do anything than I have EVER had in my 39 years. I am more outgoing, I am truly happy with who I am, what I see in the mirror, what I wear, and most importantly for me, what decisions I make. I don't say "I can't" anymore....because I can...I can do things at CFRR that I have never done before - so if I can do it there - I know I CAN anywhere!"

BRAVO Sandi!!! I'm SO proud of all that you have accomplished and I'm most proud of the fact that by embracing the CrossFit lifestyle, you empowered yourself as a woman. Can't wait to cheer you on at FGB6, keep on, keepin' on!!!
