I initially joined CrossFit Central because of its stellar reputation in the CrossFit community. I had previously been at another gym out of state and when I moved my trainer there recommended I check out Central.
After a year of group classes my progress was starting to plateau. I found that private training was the best way for me to improve my technical lifts and improve on specific skills that were eluding me.
Jeremy Thiel is an awesome trainer across the board. He makes sure our sessions are a great workout, that I'm improving every week and having fun. I've made a ton of progress on gymnastic volume since beginning my private training and my conditioning is the best it's ever been. He's also such a positive person that just being around him for an hour every week gives me a mood boost!
Since joining CrossFit Central I'm down 15lbs and have added 8lbs of muscle. More importantly. I've become much more mentally resilient. CrossFit has really helped me eliminate almost all of my daily anxiety and stay calm, even when days become unexpectedly stressful.
I currently run the marketing team at a sports nutrition company here in Austin so fitness & wellness is a focal point of my every day. Being able to really understand our customers, because I am one of them, is incredibly helpful. I also appreciate that I can jump in on nearly any workout or activity and feel confident in my abilities.
I've found CrossFit Central to be the single best place to meet other like-minded people in Austin. Everyone from the coaches, staff and other clients exude the core values and make coming in everyday fun.
