My first Crossfit class
I finally got the chance to use my Groupon for Crossfit classes at Pro-Fit Gym....a former personal training partner Aaron started this gym ( back when I first started personal training at Gold's Gym, he was there with me)....a long time ago..anyways, he is a fantastic trainer and very experienced and knowledgeable so I knew I would want to try out his gym when I had the chance.
I feel like I am pretty akin to the terms and exercises associated with Crossfit...I use the WODBoxApp all the time for my own workouts at home

or here
oh yeah, here too
but I was still pretty nervous and anxious heading to the gym...I am not an extrovert in the gym at all. I am the one who finds her spot at the back of the class, quietly gets myself and equipment ready, and waits to begin and I was pretty sure that wouldn't fly at Pro-Fit...
I headed into the gym a little ahead of time to get paperwork filled out, check out my surroundings, look at the workout, etc..Cody greeted me right away, gave me a tour, described what was going to go down and what to expect...The WOD of the day was 5 rounds, and the exercises were all ones I have done before(squat cleans, kb swings) in my own WOD's and included the one thing I hate the most...PULLUPS!!!
While I had done the exercises at home, I was doing some of them somewhat incorrectly...it was so great having Kayla and Cody explain things and teach me the correct form and I could definitely feel a difference...
