Well, I finally decided to post since today is my 1 year anniversary at CrossFit. After one long year of grueling pain, throwing up, puking, sweating, bleeding and 4 tubes of muscle rub, I can finally say that I made it through and Im still alive. I have come a long way and I am not the same person that started CrossFit 1 year ago. I have yet to turn my full length mirror around. Its still facing the wall. Maybe later this year. I absolutely love CrossFit though and I have increased in strength and energy. My endurance level is far beyond what it was last year. My self-confidence has improved and if you ask my husband, Im a better person to live with. I adore the trainers. They are wonderful and patient and really care about your progress. Ive never had that at any of the other gyms Ive attended and I bet they dont even know my name. The CrossFit trainers know who you are and call you by name and log your progress. I think it is important to mention each trainer so first I will start off with Andrew. He has encouraged me beyond what I had expected and is always available - night or day to answer any questions I may have. James is one of a kind. He trains you well and goes over it 100 times if he has too because he cares about the athletes and he wants to make sure they are safe. Patrick is one of my favorites. He is so funny and makes the workouts fun. He listens and is extremely patient. I can ask him the same things over and over and he is so patient with me. I love the way he shows us how to lift because he shakes his rump like a guinea pig. He is just so fun to be around. He has a great personality and definitely works well with the athletes. Whitney is my favorite and that is mostly because she is a woman. She is the perfect example of what an athletic woman should be. She is strong and determined and nothing gets in her way when her mind is made up. She is so helpful to the athletes and very fun to be around especially when she sings while we are working out. She is humble and can laugh at herself. She pushes you to your max especially if she knows you are capable. Thanks to all the trainers for making the workouts the best they can be and for making my CrossFit experience so AWESOME!!! CROSSFIT HAS CHANGED MY LIFE! Shawnette Kirkwood

CrossFit Trussville is amazing. I have to say I was one of those people that said, "I dont have time to workout". My husband and I finally quit talking about it and signed up for the fundamentals. We walked up and just said sign us up before we even did the class because we knew we had to just DO IT! Andrew Rape and Candace Rape are amazing trainers. They taught us at our own pace and explained everything to make us feel welcome and know Crossfit was for people JUST LIKE US! We have now been going 3-5 days per week since March, 2015. The encouragement you get from all the other people is just amazing. Just when you feel like giving up, you hear a "you can do it!" Or a "lets go!" Or "every rep counts, push" and it helps you to go just that little bit longer. The results we have seen are just an extra perk. I love going in and having the workout already made. No thinking necessary, its there and ready. For me Crossfit works well because I dont watch the clock thinking about when the workout will be over because Im consumed in making sure I get the movements right I forget sometimes that Im working out.... Unless its FRAN and then I cant breath so no forgetting there. Haha. The coaches are all amazing also! Just cant say enough good things about Crossfit Trussville! Give it a try, you wont regret it.

Hands down one of the best Crossfit gyms in Birmingham. (I would say THE BEST if I had visited 100% of the gyms in Birmingham) I have visited, or been a member at probably 10 different Crossfit gyms over the years and I always compare my experience to CFT. Not only is it a big gym with good equipment, but the programming is balanced and well thought out. The owners (Andrew and Candace) are some of the nicest people you will ever meet and they are almost always at the gym. CFT has the most class times that I have ever seen, which gives you the most potential for getting a workout in. I always knew that if I had to be at work at 7 or at 12, there would probably be a class time that worked for me. There is also always free space in the gym for working on your weaknesses. Some gyms that I have been a member of wont let you do anything besides the current workout at the designated class time. This is tough when you are paying hundreds and have a hunger for more than your 30 minutes. If you are thinking about trying out CFT, do it, you wont regret it.

After performing a somewhat normal bodybuilding-type split routine for approximately a decade, I found myself in kind of a workout rut and in need of a little motivation, so I decided to try something a little different and joined CrossFit Trussville. Ive been a member for around six weeks and dont regret a thing. Not only have I made gains on standard exercises like squats, pullups, and deadlifts, but Im doing things I never wouldve done in my old gym, like rope climbs, sprints, handstand pushups, and explosive olympic lifts like the clean-and-jerk. The trainers/coaches (Andrew, James, Chuck, and Patrick) are all very knowledgable and pay attention to all the individuals in the class, making sure their form is correct and using the proper amount of weight and/or doing the proper amount of reps based on each individuals skill-level. I also like the group dynamic and the encouragement it provides. All the participants and trainers always seem to be fired up and ready to go, which is very motivating.

CFT has put such a positive spin on my life in only 7 short months. I find myself going to bed excited about what the WOD will bring tomorrow. Its safe to say that it has become somewhat of an addiction. Having said that whats better than being addicted to fitness! The Coaches and members encourage others by lifting them up with kind words. My nine year old son really looks up to owner and professional athlete Andrew Rape. He wants to be just like him. I cant think of a better God fearing role model for him to have. ALL of the coaches are GREAT! Thats what sets this CrossFit apart from the rest. Everyone is welcome and all levels are given the same amount of love and attention. It even gives my husband and I more in common to talk about at the end of the day. Happy Happy Happy...

I wanted to give a HUGE shout out to Crossfit Trussville! After having a baby in Feb. 2011 I was itiching to lose the remailing baby weight and tone my post baby body. I began CFT in July and was amazed at how fast I began to see results. With in a couple of weeks I could visibly see muscle definition. I have not only lost the baby weight but I am 5 pounds lighter than i was when i got pregnant, dropping my weight to a number i havent seen in 10 years. I feel stronger, leaner, energized and confident. I love everything about CFT- the coaches, fellow athletes, atmosphere, work outs, music, and camraderie. The work outs are hard and challenging...and i LOVE it. Thanks Crossfit Trussville! Love you guys!
