There are three reasons why Crossfit Lakeway is my home gym (box). First (and most important) is the people. Liz, Harry and all of the coaches spent the time to get to know me, from both an athletic and personal perspective. I've been to several boxes across the US and received the crossfi, franchise programmed "hello" (which is nice), but the team here really welcomed me and continues to invest time in me. Besides the owner/coaches, I enjoy the variety of fellow athletes - younger / older (like me), male/female, and fit/just starting a journey. Friendly and encouraging, it's a true community!
The second reason I'd recommend Lakeway Crossfit is the workouts. For me, not having to put together a workout plan is a beautiful thing. I simply walk in, follow directions and BAM! I'm doing an awesome workout that fits into a larger, every changing program. Working on my own, I would never come up with the level of workouta that we have there. They help me accomplish far more than I would on my own, and the results are there. Liz/Harry take a long term view on fitness and health, and it's both refreshing and realistic. To that end, every exercise can be scaled up/down to my level of fitness, or to accommodate a limitation (like my shoulder which had some major surgery a couple years ago). Don't let the Crossfit name scare you. When you trust the program and the coaches, it's a great place.
Finally, the results. I've been a member for a year now and I am in the best shape of my life, enjoying going to the gym, and have new friends. When I first met Harry, he told me that the workouts will always be challenging so that life outside of the box is not. He was right! My fitness makes my life so much better. 40lb mulch bags? Bring em on! It's the day-to-day energy they've helped me achieve that makes everyday life more enjoyable. read more
