When I started at Formula Crossfit, I was in the worst shape of my life. I had been suffering from posterior tibial tendon dysfunction and was unable to run, or even walk short distances without pain. I could not balance on one foot for more than a second or two. I had gone to a doctor who told me that I would never be able to run again and that my condition was irreversible and at this point I had to deal with pain management. I was a healthy 29 year old woman who wanted to enjoy an active lifestyle so his diagnosis was devastating.
Then Graham introduced me to CrossFit! He assured me he would get me back on my feet again and he did! Within months my balance had improved dramatically and I was gaining muscle definition I never thought possible in my life as a distance runner and cardio enthusiast. Not only was my tibial tendon getting better, but I was getting stronger in every way possible and on top of that was loving every minute of it. I have never found another workout regimen that has kept me as interested and excited as CrossFit has.
I have made some great friends throughout my training and in March of this year, less than 10 months after my disappointing diagnosis, I ran in the Spartan Race with a team from Formula CrossFit. I was able to run 5 miles and complete 15 obstacles (including the monkey bars! I haven't been able to do the monkey bars since grade school!) all with no pain!
I never could have done it without Graham! He is an extremely knowledgeable coach who finds a way to work with every one of his clients individual needs to reach their full potential. He somehow knows your limits and is able to push you to them He is a patient teacher and an encouraging coach.
I have been traveling to North Druid Hills for Graham's training 3 times a week for the past year, and I am SO excited to finally have him right here in Norcross, so close to home! read more
