ATTENTION CFC!!! I have a special announcement! For the first time ever I am awarding multiple athletes with the Want.Choose.Commit. Award. In no specific order the athletes are Audrey Onan, Michael Kent, Kristal Troy, Laura Anderson and Jocell Flores! Audrey came to the gym with a back injury and, well, that was just about it haha She started to train using the 15 lb training bar and wooden bumper plates. And shell admit, that was hard for her. However, her persistence and determination over the last year (plus) has seen her get stronger, more fit and more confident in her abilities. She recently pulled a double at 190lbs. Audrey is always a positive presence at CFC and is incredibly supportive of the CFC family. Congrats! Michael Kent is one of our resident strong guys. When Mike started he battled with very limited range of motion and some low back issues. What makes Mike stand out is how much extra effort he spends working to improve his flexibility and weak links. I saw him recently hit a 135 lb Overhead Squat with full depth and good position. Hes a regular at the box and is incredibly supportive of CFC and everyone here. Thanks man and congratulations! Kristal Troy is one strong chica. She comes from a competitive sports background and CrossFit helped to fill the void left after a collegiate basketball career. As it turns out, her passion has shifted to Strongman training and competitions. What impresses me each day is the fact that Kristal works two jobs and still finds a way to get in her training. Shes usually late getting to class (because shes coming straight from work) but she finds a way to get it done and doesnt let that become an excuse. She leaves early from class to get back to work and I can be guaranteed that shell be there again tomorrow to train. She also goes out of her way to improve her skills by attending Strongman training groups and going to Olympic lifting seminars. And all her work is showing; she took first place in her last Strongman competition. Great work and congrats! Laura Sprague is another one of our strong ladies at CFC. She currently holds the GYM RECORD Deadlift at 365 lbs at a bodyweight of 140-ish. IMPRESSIVE! Laura is also constantly seeking to improve and challenges herself by competing in Strongman competitions nearly every weekend (not really, but pretty darn close). Shes taken the podium at many of these events and is an inspiration for all of CFC. Not only does she compete herself, but shes constantly trying to recruit others from CFC to join her. Lauras commitment to getting better shows and her hard work is showing through. Congrats! Jocell Flores is a 5am-er, which should entitle her to an award just for getting up that early! Jocell comes from a running background but her biggest improvements have been in her barbell lifts. Not only is her consistency in training impressive (shes a regular at 5am), but she also challenges herself by participating in CrossFit competitions as well as running Marathons (yesterday!). Her skills and strength have improved as well; shes able to perform Toes-to-Bar and her Deadlift is over 200 lbs! Congratulations!
