Deanne's Story

Meet Deanne

Coming here might not have added years to my life but it has added quality to my years. In the last few years before I turned 50 I slowed down and became quite sedentary. I noticed I was weaker, and walking the dog even took a lot out of me. It finally hit when I was asking the kids to help me get up off the couch. If I feel like this at 50, what am I going to feel like at 60....80?
​
My sister talked me into going to CrossFit Closer with her and it has changed my life. I have exercised before but I can honestly say I have never enjoyed going as much as I enjoy going here. I can also say I have never worked so hard and pushed myself so hard and still looked forward to the next class. I started out not being able to squat to now squatting with weight on the bar. I can do things I couldn't do just two years ago. I also lost 30 pounds which was not my intention but a wonderful side effect. 

I don't think I would have stuck it out if it weren't for the excellent coaching and the community atmosphere. Everyone is treated like they matter, from the buffest athletes to the beginners. Everyone is made to feel welcome no matter their level of strength. Luckily for me, they modify every move to your ability and you watch as you see how far you have come. So it is with much gratitude that I say thank you CrossFit Closer for giving me a new ending. And it is just beginning. ​
