I was a member at the YMCA and taking the classes they provided. I was ready for a little more of a challenge. I had heard good and bad things about CrossFit. I checked out a couple places online. Of course, it seemed expensive. Then, along comes a living social coupon. An affordable way to check it out. It was by chance that the coupon was for CrossFit Jaguar .

After a couple of classes at Jag, I knew I wanted to join. However, I was still apprehensive about my ability to perform the lifts and movements. The coaches were positive and motivating.  Using modifications and hard work, I started to realize that  I was in the right place. By the time my coupon expired, I was ready to join CrossFit Jaguar.


My first huge achievement was a kipping pull up without a band. I spent many hours with those bands. Stringing  a few together came not long after. It was very gratifying. Walking on my hands and HSPUs are my newest goals. It has been a slow process, but I plan to keep plugging along.

I have been a member for more than four years.  I have a hard time thinking of one Jag memory. I get as much satisfaction when another member accomplishes a movement or hits a lift they have been working on. PRs are great, but sharing experience is even better. It has been said many times that Jaguar is a community and more than a gym. That is a very true statement. I have made many memories with my Jag family, in and out of the gym.
