Our CrossFit Journey & Testimony

I still remember the day Hazel and I walked into CrossFit Chateau. We were nervous, out of shape, and seeing people lifting 300+ lbs, didn't know what handstand walk was and wondered why people couldn't just walk normally with their feet. It was just a little overwhelming for us while we were waiting for our 1st class at the front desk area and feeling unsure if we were ready for this new chapter in our fitness journey. My first few weeks were tough. I struggled to keep up with the WODs or even the warm up, and I often found myself feeling frustrated and defeated. As the months went by, I began to notice some small changes in my body. I was getting a little stronger, faster, and more agile. I could do things I never thought possible, like pull-ups, deadlifts, cleans and more. But it wasn't just about the physical changes. CrossFit has also become a mental game for me. I learned to push through pain, to overcome obstacles, and to trust myself.
