How did you learn about CrossFit Kalamazoo? From my co-worker at DENSO Vas A when we became Facebook friends, I seen her pictures of doing CrossFit and became very interested.
How has CrossFit Kalamazoo changed your life, lifestyle, and level of fitness?  CrossFit has become my new lifestyle.  My fitness level, especially endurance and specifically strength.  I never imagined that I would be able to move the amount of weight that I can currently.  It’s very encouraging for me.

I would like to compete at some level.  I would like to experience that at least once!  I feel I work very hard, and would like to showcase that.
What do you like most about CrossFit Kalamazoo? The "family" that CrossFit has become to me.  I look forward to my time there and spending it with my CrossFit Family.  The confidence builder.  The way I look and think about myself has changed.

What are you currently doing to try to improve your diet? I have cut out sugar, milk product and gluten from my daily diet.
