Here are some testimonials that fellow CrossFit Dieppe members have shared with us.

"I started at CrossFit Dieppe approximately 4.5 months ago, so I’m still a baby in the CrossFit world.  My first workout was shoulder presses and as many squats as I could do in a minute.  I thought to myself “that’s it??!” That’s Crossfit?  Then, I walk my way to my truck and could barely walk.  My legs were pure jello.  After that I could barely sit or go downs stairs for 3 days!  Thank God it was the weekend! That’s when I realized “that’s it?” was the best ironic question you could ask when doing a WOD.  (Yes, I’m using some interesting terminology too these days!)

I originally started CrossFit with a strong need to build strength in order to avoid another back injury. A friend has suggested it to me.  Winter was coming and I would have a lot of shovelling to do!  But now, I’m hooked.  The best part, is that “it’s like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get” when you walk through the door.  The Workout of the Day is different each day.  My strength has increased 10-fold since I first started.  I can do things and lift things without even thinking twice about it both at the gym and in my every day routine which gives me a sense of pride, accomplishment and confidence. The insides of my hands have calluses regularly, they’ve seen blisters, even a skin tear, not to mention the bruises on my collar bones, shoulder blades and yes, my chin! (don’t ask!)  I just keep going every weekday morning...did I mention I’m hooked yet?  Here’s the bonus, in the last 4.5 months, I’ve lost about 15 lbs and gone down 2 dress sizes.  For a girl, that counts!  A lot!  Finally, I’m eating better and enjoying the benefits every day.

CrossFit will make me test my limits and exceed them on a regular basis.  Especially, with a CrossFit Dieppe trainer there, you know you’re being well followed and encouraged to reach your goal of Ultimate Fitness, whatever that means for you. This fitness approach is like nothing else.  I’ve gone to the various fitness gyms, did the aerobics, circuit training, etc.  There is nothing quite like CrossFit, there is no other way to put it. Now I know, whatever I need to get my body to do, just Bring-It-On! I’m a “Crossfitter”!

"Over the years I've kept active through weight training, running, swimming and more recently kickboxing. I started Cross Fit a year ago just to try something different. I found the workouts more intense and even challenging. Along with better nutrition, was a healthier mind and body. I look and even think better. The gang at Cross Fit Dieppe along with many of the other participants are very support and knowledgeable. Thanks guys!!
