Thank You

This time of year is always exciting. The buzz in the box is humming with "Open Fever" & sometimes its hard not too get caught up in all the excitement myself. I got this email the other day from Kathy, who has become a regular to our 6am sessions which really reminded me why I started doing this in the first place. With Kathy s permission, id like to share this with you.

Dear Glenn, Veronica & Jen
 I've been training with CrossFit Penrith now for 11 months and it would be an understatement to say “what was I thinking for all of those years going to a gym and why didn't I hear about CrossFit years ago.” I've always been a member of a gym or attended some type of boot camp since I was 18, always keen to keep fit and healthy. My experience at CrossFit Penrith has been a completely new and exciting challenge, a massive reward in my life. I'm stronger, happier, healthier and have unlimited amounts of energy than I have ever had before. I have been able to dig deep and realise I can achieve anything I focus on and put my mind to, both physically and mentally. My confidence has always been quite low, but, with the support and guidance from the Amazing Coaches I have now started to believe in myself and every day is a new day. My time at CrossFit Penrith has been a massive wake up call to me, I have met some amazing people and built some solid friendships, they are my CrossFit Family. I look forward to getting up each morning at 5.30am because I know I will feel awesome after my workout and I do every time I train. I have just registered to compete in my first CrossFit Games 2014 and just completed Week 1, what an Amazing Experience! I could not have done it without the encouragement from the coaches for picking me up when I needed that cheer. A massive Thank you to Glenn, Veronica and Jenny for my experience and I hope to continue my journey.
Regards
Kathy
