I didn’t walk into CrossFit Velox with much confidence. I’d tried to get healthy before, but always failed. When I started at CrossFit Velox, they thoughtfully made modifications to the workouts so they were challenging — but never overwhelming. With much encouragement and support from the coaches and other members, I returned day after day.

Progress was made slowly, as I set goals and achieved them. Then I’d set more goals.  Within my first year, I lost 100 lbs, and I was able to stop all my diabetic and cholesterol medicine. Since my start at CrossFit Velox, I have lost over 140lbs and have gained a whole new perspective of life!

What CrossFit Velox offers is far greater than just a workout program. It is a complete mind, body, and emotional transformation. Not only do you educate, train, and encourage, but you also have a great influence on me because you live what you preach.

Thank you for answering my phone calls every day for my first 2 weeks. You assured me I really wasn’t going to die. Your education in nutrition is also such a great help. Thank you for strapping my feet in the rowing machine for me on my first day! You were right…… It doesn’t get any easier, but you do get better at it. Your “good job Jen” has gotten me through more than you know.

To Ja’Cinda, I say: what an inspiration you truly are! You’re very observant and pay close attention to the details. You keep me safe but also push me far beyond what I think I can do. The confidence that you have when you say “you got this” has gained my entire trust in you. You have taught me so much, not just in the box but in every aspect of this life changing experience. For this I thank you. Keep up the great work and know you make a difference in people’s lives!
