How did you find CrossFit?

Two separate couples that we are good friends with kept telling us about CrossFit and how we should try it. We kept blowing them off. Finally, a Groupon came out and we said “what the heck, we’ll try it for a month and then go back to LA Fitness”. Well, here we are 6 and a half years later, we’re still addicted to CrossFit, and haven’t been back to LA Fitness!

Favorite CrossFit move (could be Oly lift, other lift, cardio move, even burpees (if you really love them!))

Handstand walks
