  • The variety and intensity of the workouts I have been exposed to at CrossFit Big Dane has allowed me to breakthrough mental barriers and push myself harder than I previously thought was possible. The coaches at CrossFit Big Dane are a constant source of motivation and advice.

  • Melissa's best piece of advice: be patient. When she first started and got super excited about all the progress she was making, she reflects that she may have been a bit overzealous in approaching Tommy to try it out. Eventually he figured it out at his own pace. Tommy's loves that is a great way to spend quality time with his wife. From either just being in the gym at the same time to even working thorough partner workouts together, it has been really fun for them.

  • When I came to my first On-Ramp class and saw that we had to work with weights. I thought, there is no way I can do this, especially since I had never lifted a barbell (even when I was healthy). In these few months of CrossFit, I have feel that I have substantially grown physically and mentally as an athlete—a journey that will only have an upward trajectory going forward!
