KATYA

I joined CrossFit Central on Burnet Road in February 2017. I had just arrived in the US and was getting used to being in a new country, learning a new language, and adapting to a new culture. I was very lonely and homesick. I used to do CrossFit back in my country and liked it a lot. I was looking for a CrossFit community to join and CrossFit Central was close to my home.

I liked the gym immediately. The coaches were very supportive and the community was kind and welcoming. Since joining the gym I feel motivation and joy to work out consistently. I feel more empowered with my nutrition and more in touch with my body. CrossFit helped me throughout my pregnancy and recovery after.

In the last 6 months I have lost 15% of body fat and gained 2lbs of muscles. I have improved my technique and I am able to do some exercises that I wasn’t able to do before. Physically, I feel the best I have ever felt.

Above everything else I feel like I have gained a CrossFit family and coming here feels like a second home. I am very appreciative and happy to have CrossFit Central in my life.
