**CONGRATULATIONS DEVIN KRESGE, Our June CrossFitter of the Month!**
About Devin:
First off, I appreciate the honor of being named CrossFitter of the month. Everyone is reaching new goals and pushing their limits that it must make this a difficult decision for the coaches. Being an athlete in high school I always liked going to the traditional gyms and using fitness to become better in the sports I played. After high school I began going to the gym more and more, but like others, I often was bored and unsatisfied from doing the same routine every week.
My brother and cousin, who now owns his own CrossFit facility, told me about CrossFit about two years ago. I immediately loved the workouts and how different they were. While I was not familiar with a lot of the movements, I liked the fast pace and how the workouts pushed you physically and mentally. I became hooked and so my brother and I decided to buy some bumper plates and a bar. We even built a pull-up bar in our garage and started doing workouts we found online. He always talked about how much more motivating workouts were at a box but I was hesitant and intimidated. I put my hesitations aside and did some drop-ins which led me to join a CrossFit facility. However, I never felt comfortable or welcomed by the coaches so my membership was short-lived. I figured I’d just continue to do some home WODs and lift at a commercial gym for $10 a month. This still left me bored and wanting more.
Then just last summer, Alyssa said she was interested in CrossFit and sure enough she joined CFW. From the beginning, she raved about the supportive coaching and friendly members. She convinced me to join. Since joining, CFW continues to amaze me in how much it grows both in the workouts and as a community. The community and support of the coaches has allowed me to accomplish things that I never thought I could. CFW has made CrossFit a passion of mine. The coaches make everyday a positive experience and I never feel uncomfortable asking them questions or getting advice. Getting to know the members and witnessing their accomplishments is another reason CFW embodies the true meaning of crossfit. I can honestly say I enjoy going to CFW each and every day and am proud to be part of this box. I am looking forward to setting and reaching new goals with everyone and thankful for the coaches that never allow us to give up.
