I was visiting my old stomping grounds of North Delta, and this was the closest location. Though it may technically be in South Delta, it's virtually right in the middle near Tilbury Island - so it was less than 15 minutes to get to.
The 'box' or the gym is a bit smaller than the one i'm used to, but it worked out for the class size I was with.
For anyone unfamiliar with Crossfit, the basic idea (which is right on the name) is that you are training across various disciplines/exercises (cardio, strength, balance, functional movement, etc...). It means there's always a challenge and even a weakness you may have to address. But if you stick with it, it leaves you in better shape and performing at a level you may not have believed you could reach.
This CrossFit location was very welcoming from both staff and members. To my benefit (or at my expense) we were doing two exercises which were either new (rope climb) or difficult for me (double under skipping). The coach (Terri-Lyn) did a great job in encouraging everyone to attempt the rope climb, even if some (like myself) were tempted to opt for an alternate exercise. Everyone was also receiving coaching for the double unders too - and that's another huge benefit of CrossFit and what this location achieves, is the coaching.
It was a great visit, and I'll be sure to return if I'm back in the area. Anyone who's looking to radically improve their fitness, and do it in a place where you receive coaching and encouragement should certainly check this place out. read more
